  • Bloglines Toolkit in Portuguese

    With special thanks to Antonio from the Mozilla Portuguese Translation Project, there is now a Portuguese translation of the Bloglines Toolkit. Antonio tells me that he has tested this version in Mozilla and Firefox, under both Windows and Linux, and that it looks good. This translation shares the…

  • Firefox Extensions Revisited

    It's safe to say that my use of Firefox as my regular browser is pretty well embedded by now. I fire up MSIE on two occasions: When Firefox doesn't work (rare, but it happens – for instance, with certain Outlook Web Access functions) and when I want to…

  • Bloglines Toolkit 1.5.0

    I've just released an update to the Bloglines Toolkit. Mostly because a new nightly build of Firefox broke my installation to some degree, so I figured it was time to let it loose….

  • Links in Firefox

    The latest nightly build of Firefox adds a cool new feature. I've become somewhat addicted to tabbed browsing, despite my earlier comments, and I hate it when I click a link in an email or something and a whole new window opens up. For starters, it's slower. Beyond…

  • Bloglines Toolkit Update

    There's an updated version of the toolkit waiting in the wings, but there's a bit of testing to undergo, and with the apparently imminent release of Firefox, I think I'm going to hold off for a few days to make sure I get the version numbers right and…

  • Troubleshooting the Toolkit

    Every once in a while, I get an email or a comment about problems with the Bloglines Toolkit. Luckily, this really happens only every once in a while. I say luckily because my experience with JavaScript programming is pretty pathetic, and I'm really amazed that I don't get…

  • Bloglines Toolkit 1.4.1

    With the advent of a new release of Firefox, a new release of the toolkit is also required. You can get it now. For the handful of you that tested this change for me, the 1.4.1 version is no different from the 1.4a version you received directly from…

  • Toolbar Frustration

    I'm trying to build a toolbar icon for Firefox. The strange thing is that I can create the toolbar icon itself (ie, when I drag it out of the pallete of potential toolbar items to put it on the toolbar), in both small and large varieties, but I…

  • Flashblock in Firefox

    During the process of checking things out recently, I noticed that Shockwave Flash movies had stopped displaying in Firefox at some point. I think it was the loading of 0.9. So I went through the ritual of uninstalling and reinstalling, but it didn't really help. Then I started…

  • Firefox Update

    More than one site has mentioned a new point release (0.9.3) for Firefox. While this is apparently the case, the download link on the front page does not point to the setup for 0.9.3 – it points to 0.9.2. Using a little creativity, you can munge the URL…
