Editing the Firefox Splash Plugin

Splash is a Firefox add-on that adds a custom splash screen when the browser starts up. It’s a fairly customizable plugin that adds your own custom touch to it’s interface.

So let’s get started with customizing this add-on

You’re going to need to open your Add-ons menu first to access the splash options screen. That’s located here

Tools > Add-ons > Splash. Select options.

1. General Tab - Here’s where you set up the very basic options for your own splash screen. Background colors and padding…well you can see the image below.

2. Image Tab - This is obviously where you define your new image. Mine is set at the default size and file format, but you do not have to use a png and you can make the image dimensions what ever you choose.

3. Text Tab - again a real no brainer, but you can see you also have access to change the color as well as text style here.

4. Miscellaneous Tab - Add sound when opening Firefox and set splash window opacity here.

And that’s it. A pretty neat little add-on that gives Firefox a little more character. Just one more to reason to switch from IE to Firefox.

Like the plugin, but not thrilled with the splash screen?

Stop by Mr Tech’s website for cool pre-fabbed custom screens.
