Firefox 3 has a cool new feature to allow you set default mailto handlers from the preferences. Here is how you can use Google Apps (GAFYD) as the default mailto handler.
1. In Firefox’s address bar, copy and paste the following and hit enter:
about:config
2. [...]

I installed this extension: GooglePreview - about a month ago, pretty awesome. When you search Google (or Yahoo) it puts a little thumbnail preview up by each search result. I am so used to it by now that when I search Google without it (say  in IE for example) it just feels weird.
check it [...]

Everyone talks about how the applications within Facebook are awesome, which is true, they are, but they add on to Facebook. One app that I rarely hear about or see used though, the Toolbar for Firefox (http://developers.facebook.com/toolbar/)
This toolbar is awesome. If you have Firefox open, which throughout the day you usually do - it [...]

The other day, I got an email from US Bank saying I need to login to their site and change my password, funny though, I don’t bank at US Bank. What’s the deal? A “phishing” attempt was made!
Phishing, according to Wikipedia, is: In computing, phishing is a criminal activity using social engineering techniques.[1] Phishers attempt [...]

well, I guess I will have to dig into it, but my other pages on my site, when viewed the firefox, the white column doesnt extend down the whole page. Works fine in IE though. Dang!
 Update: I think I fixed it :P

Most of my web developing has been for a corporate environment, where every browser was IE (or we could say - install IE!), but now I have to develop for the internet in general. Today I found that more Firefox issues are handled if you set your browserCaps in your web.config so that ASP.NET sees [...]

Pretty much every tech blog has this as an entry lately. My only question is: Do they count every upgrade as a new download? And when did they start counting?
1.0
1.0.1
1.0.2
1.0.3
1.0.4
1.0.5
1.0.6
1.0.7
Every update I have done, have they counted it? And every install on every pc I have, and everytime I reload my machine? do they count [...]

The debate between FF and IE is a hot one. Firefox is good, nice tabs, etc, etc. IE integrates well with Windows. I like FF, but one thing I don’t like is it is a 3rd party app. The more stuff you install on your machine, no matter what it is, is more upkeep, more [...]

So I installed Red Hat 9 today on a machine, and I was going to install Firefox (instead of using the built in Mozilla). I was in a terminal, trying to run ./firefox-installer-bin and I was getting a stupid xpistub error. Found out that you just need to run ./firefox-installer
doh!
Anyways, all is well :)

I use firefox for all my internet browsing, and I really like it, except one thing. 80% of the extensions that I have loaded all break everytime I upgrade to the next version, and I have to go and re-download them and install them again, and set up and settings they have. What a PITA. [...]
