Wonderful thing about Firefox extensions is the autoupdate feature. Go to Tools->Extensions, select Find update and for all installed extensions you get the latest and greatest …. usually. One extension where the update did not work was the Del.icio.us button for Firefox. I was happily using version 1.2 of the plugin and would never found [...]

Avalon – reloaded …
2007/03/20Now this is something really interesting: as found on Adobe Labs site, their technology codenamed Apollo is approaching Alpha status. What Apollo is – in a nutshell – is another virtual machine, similar to Java runtime or .Net framework, with few minor twists: it is multiplatform (as Java) as well as multi-language (as .Net) at [...]
FEOTD: Google Notebook
2007/01/26Today’s extension provides easy way how to access and add content to great free service from Google – Google Notebook. I am using it for over 3 months now and find it very useful and easy to use. As other Google product, Google Notebooks is simple, has clean interface and not too many features. The [...]
FEOTD: Clippings – GMail's best friend
2007/01/22Thanks to Lifehacker I have discovered this extension which add missing piece of GMail functionality: This very simple extension allows you to enter multiple sets of text (such as e-mail signatures) and paste them into forms simply by right-clicking. Why is this such a big deal ? I am using GMail for both my personal [...]
FEOTD: well hidden secret
2007/01/04Today’s extension is one that most people do not know about – and still almost everybody has it installed. The explanation for both is that it is distributed with Firefox, and unless you specifically prevent it’s installation, you will get it. It is DOM Inspector. Why would you care about something like this ? Unless [...]
FEOTD: Stealther
2006/12/06Today’s extension is from the area of – surprise surprise – security and privacy. I guess I am getting slightly paranoid from all the security related stuff I am listening to. But I promise I will switch back to “standard” TWIT, MacBreak and Windows Weekly to compensate the security heavy topics. But it certainly true [...]
FEOTD: Linky
2006/12/01Today’s extension is yet another one that somehow works with URL’s aka links. If you now have strange feeling that all extensions in last few days *were* about links, you are right. But realize that links are the most crucial feature of the Web, and therefore extensions dealing with links are really useful. After you [...]
FEOTD: Linkify
2006/11/29Linkification Sometimes you see a Web page whose creator was lazy and did not wrapped displayed URL into <A href=”…”></A> tags. In short, you see something like http://www.thinknostic.com/ instead of http://www.thinknostic.com/ (btw, if you have installed Linkify, you will see both as links). As result, you can see the link on the page, but you [...]
FEOTD: Session Saver
2006/11/27Today’s extension is about session management. Great news about Firefox is it’s ability to use tabs and have opened many webpages at the same time. This impacts people’s browsing habits – rather than following one path of the links and diving deep inside the Website, you explore many paths concurrently, jumping from one to another, [...]
FEOTD: DownThemAll
2006/11/24In previous FEOTD entries I have mentioned excellent tools that help you maintain the URL’s of the pages you want to remember (del.icio.us) , and in case the URL is not enough, save the content of the Web page for offline access or archive. But what if the web page is not really what you [...]
