I was just on the Fullasagoog website and noticed a new RSS icon in the status bar of Firefox, so i clicked on it - up pops a list of the RSS feeds which you can then click to subscribe to. When you subscribe to it, the link is bookmarked as a ‘live bookmark’. If you go to the bookmark then you’ll see all the entry’s - quite a neat feature!
So naturally I’ve now added similar <link….> tags to my site too.
Just in case you didn’t already know, today Mozilla have released the 1.0 preview release of the Firefox browser which you can download from here
A strange thing happened this weekend, I was only able to connect using GPRS via my mobile phone and i noticed Firefox had somehow figured this out and was displaying JPGs in a degraded form. Mousing over the image i got a message telling me to “Ctrl + Shift + R” to reload the image.
This sent me off on the hunt for more Firefox keyboard shortcuts, and I found some really cool ones, for instance try pressing / on a Firefox page - this will enable a “Find as you type” search on the current page.
To check the list out for yourself, visit this site. There are also some great tips in the tips and tricks section, including speeding browsing up by 250ms and how to run Firefox off a memory stick!!
In case you’re wondering why Mozilla foundation released 0.9.2 only a matter of days after 0.9.2 you can read about a security fix that was required here
You’ve got two options, either apply the patch of upgrade to 0.9.2. Bloomin’ Windows!!!!
So i knew they’d built in Auto updating to 0.9 firefox but it seems to have a glitch. my Firefox prompted me that an update was available so i installed it. Now i’m running 0.9.1 but i’m still being told there’s an update available.
Anyone else?
The mozilla foundation have released the long awaited 0.9 prerelease of the Firefox browser. If you haven’t checked it out yet then it’s very much worth a look - at about 5mb download can you afford not to?
I’ve been using Firefox as my default browser now for weeks and frankly hardly ever have to fire up IE these days (except the odd Windows update etc). I’ve got a number of cool extensions installed, tabbed browsing, HTTP headers and now bookmark syncing - this FTP’s my bookmarks up to my website and then on my home computer i can tell it to download the bookmarks, so my work laptop and home computer can use the same bookmarks - pretty neat!
