And the winner is Xmarks

And the winner is Xmarks

By Jan Dembowski on March 7, 2010

Earlier I had dropped Xmarks and installed Mozilla Weave. After a few weeks I’m back to Xmarks.  Syncing the browser history is a very useful feature, but some really weird things have been going on with my Weave sync data lately.
My problems began when I installed Weave on my Ubuntu 9.10 work station. I could [...]

Mozilla Weave

Mozilla Weave

By Jan Dembowski on February 1, 2010

I’m giving Mozilla Weave a try. I’ve been a big fan of the extension formally known as Foxmarks (Xmarks) so when Mozilla released Weave, I was not sure if there was anything for me to look at.
I use a work PC, my HP, and a laptop. Xmarks has been good at keeping my bookmarks and [...]

Running Firefox 3.5 beta 4

By Jan Dembowski on April 28, 2009

I’m now using Firefox 3.5 beta 4. They bumped up the version from 3.1 beta 3 to 3.5 beta 4. Beta 3 worked really well so I expect beta 4 to be “betterer”.

Firefox 3.1 beta 3 looks good

By Jan Dembowski on April 12, 2009

Firefox 3.0.x has a bug in it’s javascript handling that makes Flickr go insane for some people who use Nvidia drivers. I had tried an earlier beta and was disappointed to see that the bug was not addressed.
I’ve been using beta 3 and I have not been able to reproduce the bug. The javascript is [...]

Flickr Firefox 3 problem

By Jan Dembowski on July 19, 2008

Update: I re-installed Vista 64 cleanly (wiped out everything) and I am using the Nvidia video drivers from Microsoft. Flickr is still misbehaving on FireFox 3 for me.
On the upside, adding these lines to Adblock Plus’s whitelist did fix my problems with Facebook:

Firefox 3 is out

By Jan Dembowski on June 17, 2008

Get your latest copy of Firefox 3.0 here. Thursday openSUSE 11 comes out.  It’s like an open source cosmic alignment of the planets.
I’ve avoided the openSUSE 11 beta only because I don’t have the time.  I’ve been kicking around Firefox 3.0 RC version and a couple of days ago, even Greasemonkey got updated for version [...]

(Was the) Shortest software eval ever

By Jan Dembowski on April 14, 2008

Over at downloadsquad.com they talked about the HydraBrowser and how it may go too far with features.
It looks like Internet Explorer with enough add ons to make it “special”. It was special alright; after I ran it it wanted a user ID and password. I canceled that (I just wanted to see the [...]
