Mozilla

Warning :
I have (finally !) a black-green-blue Mozilla T-shirt,
and I'm not afraid to use it.

Time to rejoice for all Firefox3 beta users (which means 99% of all Hardy users) : Delicious Buttons is available for Firefox3, albeit in beta form.
Great, I missed *alot* this since the Hardy dist-upgrade. Now if only Tabkit...

Why oh why didn't I discover this earlier ? It was only after dag sent me a screenshot of his Firefox, that I searched and found Tabkit, a Mozilla addon for tab management, for power users. Multiple tab rows, color grouping of tabs, tab trees and grouping of tabs the way you want it.

Meesa lika !

If you're using Windows Mobile on your PDA, your browser is mostly limited to Internet Explorer (I know that Opera and KHTML are available for Symbian, but are they for WinMobile ?).
Minimo is a slimmed down Firefox for your PDA, supporting Javascript, AJAX, RSS and tab browsing.

This one is super handy : I use my middle mouse button to close Firefox tabs. Sometimes, however, my aim isn't what it should be, and this causes me to close the wrong tab. Fear not : CTRL-SHIFT-T will get your closed tab back.
Thanks, Serge !

Firefox 2 has hit the streets. Download it from getfirefox.com. You can't yet upgrade Firefox through the Help > Check for upgrades dialog, but that will be solved soon : next week, 1.5 users will get an update to 1.5.0.8, which will offer a choice of upgrading to 2.0. In the meantime, here are some interesting Firefox 2 tweaking tips.

Sage seems to be the ultimate RSS reader for Firefox, available as extension. This might change my plans with DarkChannels, the RSS reader I wrote in Perl. I was just pondering to write a new version of DarkChannels with some slight modifications, but Sage has many of these functionalities already built-in yet.

Aardvark is a great Firefox extension for web developers and designers which provides a MouseOver effect on each HTML element : a red rectangle framing each element under the cursor. You will also see a little yellow caption showing the HTML element type and its class or id if they exist.

You can then press certain keys on the keyboard to do various things, such as delete the selected element from the page, isolate the element, or move the selection rectangle outward to the containing element.

The Firemonger project is dedicated to providing an easy to use CD which contains the latest versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, the web browser and email client created by the Mozilla Foundation. In addition to these amazing products, they have added a selection of plugins, extensions and themes. In other words, this CD contains everything you need to get started with Firefox and Thunderbird.

Firefox 1.0 has been released this week. If you're still not using Firefox, you really should give it a try : it's a fast, secure and feature rich browser, way better than Internet Explorer.

I upgraded my Windows machine at work to 1.0, but ran into some problems with tabs : tabs open, but do not display any content, which is rather annoying. The Find in text option does give me problems too. So I decided to downgrade to PR2, which apparently had this behaviour too. Further downgrading to PR1 resolved this. I do not know if it's a bug or something I did wrong while upgrading. Any hints ?
