Technorati Tags: firefox

This from DownloadSquad:
Mozilla is attempting to break a Guinness World Record for the most downloads in 24 hours with its upcoming Firefox 3 release.
“Download Day” is nothing new for the Firefox crew, and it’s really a great way to spread the word to the world about software. Sure, people can download things whenever they want, [...]

AOL has announced that yesterday was the last day they would support Netscape Navigator - “the first mass market graphical Webrowser”:
At one time, Netscape was the de facto Internet browser, but due to some nefariousness on the part of Microsoft, Internet Explorer took over. Now, the spiritual successor to Netscape, Firefox, is chipping away at [...]

Yesterday Mozilla announced that Firefox has been downloaded 500 million times!!
Firefox just reached 500,000,000 downloads. This is an absolutely phenomenal milestone for Firefox. It is sort of hard to imagine what that number means. For some perspective, that’s roughly the audience size of 10,000 Rome Colosseums combined. It would be the weight, in kilograms, [...]

When I first saw this video I thought - ooo - a neat way to do webinars. I’m always looking for free tools to assist in web programs (not sure why - just something I’m interested in). After trying it out with a friend though - I have to say that Browmi has [...]

I user Firefox for all of my web browsing - but as someone who works on web pages, I need to have an older version of IE to do testing - also, I don’t like what I’ve heard about IE7 so far - but apparently I’ll have no choice (or little choice - I might [...]

Thanks Jill for letting me know about this Add On for Firefox.
TinyUrl brings the http://tinyurl.com functionality into your browser. It takes a long URL as input, and gives you a short URL to use in it’s place.
Installed!

So, I read on TechCrunch and Lifehacker about Windows Live Community Builder and I want to poke around a bit (because I’m trying not to be prejudiced) - but the link takes me to a very minimal looking page.

I tried a few different links and then thought … hmmm … this is Microsoft, [...]

I just learned about Todoist - an online task manager. Nothing fancy there, but Lifehacker also points me to a Firefox extension that will allow me to integrate Todoist into Gmail. That would work if I actually used the Gmail page - what I’d like to see is a to do list integrated [...]

Thanks Paul for pointing out that you can run Meebo as a Firefox sidebar. Neat!

As anyone who’s done a presentation on Firefox knows - it’s always been pretty hard to create a list of your favorite extensions. Enter Extension List Dumper. This little add-on lets you dump your list of extensions and format it based on several options. Here’s my list:

Application: Firefox 2.0.0.1 (2006120418)
Operating System: WINNT [...]

I seemed to have lost the function in FireFox that makes it so that when FireFox restarts itself it keeps all of the tabs open. I’m sure it’s because of an add-on that I’ve installed - I’m just not sure when it happened and which add-on is the culprit. Any ideas?

How can you ever user 200 Firefox extensions? And what resolution do you need your computer set at to actually see a web page in a browser with that many toolbars?

So I head over to the Apple Store (online) to drool over the iPods I can’t afford and what happens? The CSS doesn’t load up for the page so I have a full text version - actually it looks like a mobile version of the page. It’s very difficult to navigate and there are [...]

That’s how Downloadsquad explains the newest add-on in my Firefox toolbox - How’d I Get Here:
This is an innocuous little add-on that does one thing only: Tells you how you originally found the site you’re looking at. It has an elephant’s memory, so even if you bookmark the site and come back to it six [...]

At work I use IE - mostly because our library site was designed pre-Firefox and doesn’t looks so great in Firefox (redesign coming - 2007). One of things I miss when using IE at work is the handy Firefox inline search feature - well thanks to Lifehacker I have found a solution. Inline [...]

As you know I couldn’t figure out how to get Snapper to work on Firefox 2.0 - well, I found a comment on the Snapper Add-on page that helped me install Snapper on Firefox 2.0 - now I have all of the extensions I want.
1. Right-click on the install link and select SAVE LINK AS.
2. [...]

I LOVE IT!! I upgraded while I was away and have had some time to play since then.
My favorite feature? The built in spell checker! I want to make Firefox the default browser on all computers at work so that people stop asking me to figure out how to install a [...]

Well you know which one I’m using right now - but if you want to read a couple comparisons, try these:

Forward Thinking by Michael J. Miller: IE7 vs. Firefox: The Competition Really Begins
Firefox 2, Internet Explorer 7: Random Thoughts

I will eventually install IE7 - I have to if I want to see what my sites [...]

My husband - who usually learns everything from me - knew that Firefox 2.0 was released before I did - I’ve been so busy with the conference and school work that I didn’t realize - anyway, I’m downloading it now - are you??

A new (or new to me) Firefox extension that makes error pages much more handy.
Rather than the lone “Try again” button, ErrorZilla adds buttons to the error page that allow you to do things like view the Google Cache of the page, find a snapshot of the page from the Wayback Machine, ping [...]

Well - as you can tell I never finished listening to the podcast - in which I’m sure they mentioned the tiny important fact that Zotero is only for Firefox 2.0 I went to the site first thing this morning to download it - but I don’t want to upgrade until I’m sure [...]
