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.

Firefox set to go mobile in 2008

I stumbled across this news alert on Yahoo! News today that describes Mozilla’s mobile browser efforts with Firefox. This is very encouraging news for web developers. The current lot of browsers that work on handhelds are not that exciting (Opera and Safari on the iPhone respectfully excluded from the list – those two work great). Better and more compliant browsers for handhelds = a better Internet experience for all.
