Weblings for Firefox

We're probably over saturated by now with extensions for Firefox or other browsers dealing with the rearrangement or beautification of the New Tab page. Yes, in most cases we deem such add-ons useless or at times even atrociously distracting, but not in this case.

Weblings for Firefox manages to bring a smile to anyone's face when using it. It displays funny messages accompanied by equally interesting drawings. It could make your children smile or bring out the child in you. Either way, it's a win-win situation.

You might not have expected this, but the application itself does offer a series of customization options. Whether we're talking about the type of characters displayed on the browser's new pages, which by the way can either be food-looking, weather-related, simple scribbles, or the background type and color, there's simply no chance of you getting bored. The displayed messages can also be chosen. You'll feel the extension fit your needs or wants, no doubt about it.

The biggest part of this extension and the effect it has on users is the result of clever, short, and crafty messages, constantly displayed when opening new tabs. You'll find yourself smiling without a real reason. They do really brighten the mood and act in some strange sense as therapy sessions.

Still, there's not much else you could discuss regarding this particular extension. With time, your smile will slowly become a grin and then totally disappear. With nothing fresh on the line, the add-on's magic will wear off.

Weblings for Firefox doesn't bring something new to the table. It reinvents the way New Tab pages look and feel, adding a cheery vibe to your browser. Aside from that, you won't really miss much. Still, it's worth a try even if it could have an effect on you only for a limited time.
