Here’s a great time-saver extension. Toolbar Buttons is perfect for adding tough-to-find Firefox functions. They’re there BUT you have dig deep within Tools > Options to get to them. Need to quickly disable javascript, flash and images with just three quick clicks? No problem, just drag and drop the buttons. Here is my current setup:
A lot of people are familiar with PHP’s functions, and though Javascript functions are often quite similar, some functions may be missing or addressed differently. The Javascript implementations should be as compliant with the PHP versions as possible, a good indication is that the PHP function manual could also apply to the Javascript version.
Is Microsoft quietly phasing out IE6? I think could mean the beginning of the end for IE6 installs and support.
Internet Explorer 7 now available for pirated version of Windows XP
I am currently writing this post on Safari on XP. The first thing I did was to check the navigator.userAgent js property.
I don’t know about everyone else out there, but seeing “Windows NT” and “Safari” in a userAgent property is something that I didn’t expect. It gives me both the creeps as well as a little excitement on what’s to come. Excitement would be more users submitting bugs to apple on this browsers crappy editable html javascript implementation, maybe this will get AppleWebKit to fix the bugs faster. What gives me the creeps is it gives me another platform our websites should run under… bittter sweet.
You can download the public beta here.
Update: It seems like most of the showstopper bugs are fixed with this version. With just a little push this very might well be a very good release.
UPDATE II: So I can’t maximize Safari on my RIGHT MONITOR… it just dissapears. Is that Apple trying to send a political subliminal message? ;)
From description:
Inline Search is an add-on for Internet Explorer that mimics Firefox’s search behavior, it turns searching into a Web page into a non modal research experience coupled with a search as you type facility. It integrates into IE, giving it that little extra that makes you a lot more efficient when you are looking for a specific piece of information. Version 1.3 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
I just installed this extension, it works pretty good when browsing ad-heavy sites.
The way it works is it overlays a clickable icon where ever there’s a flash movie. Installing is easy, just download and install this file.

This one’s similar to LiveHTTPHeaders for FireFox. IE’s handling of headers is sometimes different than FireFox so it’s always nice to see what’s going on under the hood:
ieHTTPHeaders is an Explorer Bar for Microsoft Internet Explorer that will display the HTTP Headers sent and received by Internet Explorer as you surf the web. It can be useful in debugging various web-development problems related to cookies, caching, etc.
Tip: Once installed, the plugin can be accessed through the View > Explorer Bar menu.
Listamatic is a list definitions repository.
You can view many different types of list definitions here. It just goes to show you the many different ways in which you can write a list through CSS. You can submit your own for others to use as well.
Spyware is become more and more prolific. Thankfully, so is our awareness of it. Here is a review of some utilities you can use to clean up your computer. Even if you think you are safe, run one of these anyways. You never now for sure until you do.
“Click on the icon in the status bar to view all the browser windows with a single click.”
Think of OSX’s Expose but for Firefox tabs.
