Firefox 3 goes live today, and we want it to go live with a bang! Firefox is trying to make the Guinness World Record book, and they need your help! Just click on this picture and go download Firefox 3. You’ll be glad you did. Not only did the bookmarks section get a fabulous upgrade, [...]
Yes, I’m one of those. If there’s a beta program available for a piece of software that I like, I’m in it. I was in the beta program for Office 2007 (which I really like) and I’ve downloaded betas for Firefox 3 as they’ve been coming out. And now I’m running Firefox 3.0 Release Candidate [...]
Have you seen the new Firefox Add-Ons recently? The one that’s really been getting the news is the new one released from Yahoo! called “YSlow“. This Add-On utilizes the Add-On that I’ve told you about before named Firebug to analyze your site and tell you what you can do to speed up performance for both first [...]
With my recent change from using a smart Captcha to Akismet, I remembered reading somewhere about an extension for Firefox that would allow me to save my finger from scrolling a lot when reading down through Akismet spam. So, off to Google I went, and found that it was actually a two step thing– I [...]
Of the many Add Ons that I have installed, one of the ones that I find myself using the most frequently in my current work is FireBug. For me, web development will never be the same. What is it? FireBug is a panel (or separate window) that gets added on to your browser that tells [...]
Blogging with Firefox and Windows Live Writer just got better. Microsoft (on its Windows Live Gallery site) has released a Add on for Firefox called “Blog This” which adds a really nifty little icon to your Firefox menu bar. This new icon lets you choose to start a new blog post, or open a blog [...]
One of the biggest reasons that I hear for people to not switch or even try Firefox is that certain banking institutions, company websites, or other sites that a user frequents rely on technology that is only available through Internet Explorer. Not delving into the debate whether it’s good and ethical to create a need [...]
Why are you still using Internet Explorer 6.0? You know who you are. You’re that person that just uses whatever web browser came installed on your machine (you’re probably writing documents with Word Pad) and you keep saying “but it works.” Sure, you’ll upgrade to IE 7.0 (which just came out) and be amazed by [...]
I’m really getting to like some of the new tools coming out by Microsoft. I mean, you have to admit that they certainly can leverage their size and come out with a decent product every once in a while. However, there is this streak in me that relishes using Mozilla Firefox just to get at [...]
In case you haven’t switched to Mozilla Firefox yet, there’s a new group of people out there encouraging web developers to put content on their pages to get you to try the “rebel” browser: According to the Explorer Destroyer Web site, the group offers Web-site owners scripting technology that detects whether a visitor is running [...]
I’ve joined up as part of the campaign to get people to download and try Mozilla’s Firefox browser. I’ve been using it pretty much exclusively for months now, and it’s finally in it’s 1.00 Preview release form. I think if you tried it that you’d find it much more friendly and extendable than IE or [...]
Comments Don’t Seem to Work for IE Users – FIXED!
I’ll spare you all the “you should be using a real browser” lecture for right now, and just let you know: I’ve tried to post a comment to my latest post in IE7, and I got stuck on the wp-comments.php page. Right now, I don’t know whether it’s a WordPress bug, an IE7 bug, or [...]
