Firefox Hacks You Really Want
By Larry Hendrick | December 17, 2005
I have been using Firefox 1.5 at work for some time, but just updated my personal computer this week. What was I waiting for? JustBlogIt to be compatible with 1.5.
This story lets you know about a lot of extensions and points you to the source, and they are great. I use about ten extensions myself, but by far JustBlogIt is the most used. Well, that and the del.icio.us links.
If you have not tried it, you really need to, it is worth the look.
Wired News: Firefox Hacks You Really Want
With the release of the new version 1.5 of Firefox, there’s never been a better time to download the open-source browser, take it for a drive, kick the tires and see what it can do. In the case of a browser, mainly what it can do is show you web pages, hopefully quickly. So the real satisfaction comes from finding enhancements and add-ons, because you can only have so much fun timing page loads with a stopwatch.
Fortunately, Firefox is famous for its pluggable extensions architecture, which allows you to download little snippets of code that act as the software equivalent of small consumer electronics devices, only they are free.
