My Firefox upgrade
I finally decided to start messing around with firefox (about time eh?) The main reason was that I seem to keep coming accross cool apps that are developed for the browser so I caved and loaded yet another browser... it's likely a good idea anyway so I can test all our websites using the various form factors. Right away I note some very cool features... for example, the installation and migration from IE was totally painless. I've already added some custom scripts like the "send text to mobile" app which lets firefox users highlight text from a webpage and send to a mobile cleint (US only though). I'm also looking into some flickr and mappr apps for firefox as well which should enable me to do some cool things. For more info see http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/central.html

Yeah while I continue to use both, the more modules and such I find for my firefox, the less I use IE...
I am also in the "conversion" phase. I love FireFox though. Why IE hasn't come out with tabbed browsing yet is beyond me.
I also gave Firefox a shot, and I don't regret it at all! Since I got "infected" I am only using Internet Explorer for keeping my Windows up-to-date, and for the rest of the Inet I'm using the Fox...
I like to run both at once and see which is faster.
:) Usually IE :(
But thats ok I guess.
I'm not an inet techie, but the Fox RULES. I know it's a bit slower to start, but it's handling of pop-ups has been great and tabbed browsing makes your taskbar so much less cluttered. Since I started using Firefox I've not looked back.
I might bug you for some how-to's on the script topic sometime.
Thanks-
