With the end of year upon us, it is good to see Lifehacker doing a review of good things for Firefox in 2010. Head over and give it a read. I use Adblocker mainly as an additional security measure (yes, I have Google Ads on this blog) and this list escaped my notice. Right now [...]

Trying Firefox 4 beta again
Recently I gave Firefox 4 beta 4 a try but ended up removing it. As a beta it was not bad but I had some minor problems with Adobe Flash and the benefits were not enough to get me to keep it. Firefox 4 beta 7 is another story. On a whim I installed it [...]
And the winner is Xmarks
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 [...]
Mozilla Weave
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 [...]

Running Firefox 3.5 beta 4
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
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 [...]
Flickr Firefox 3 problem
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: —————— On some of the installations I have, Firefox 3 and [...]
Firefox 3 is out
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 [...]
