Are extensions the killer feature in Firefox?

Absolutely.

I’ve used IE7 a bit. It’s slow, but sometimes Firefox is too. It has tabs, it’s relatively secure compared to IE6, it has a pop-up blocker built in, it has pretty decent cookie and password management built in. In a nutshell, it has many of the same features that Firefox has had in it’s basic form. What it doesn’t have are extensions that allow me to keep an eye on Gmail or the weather, add technorati tags to Blogger posts, create a TinyURL or add something to my link blog with a right-click. I get all that, and a bunch more, from extensions.

    Compare and Contrast – What Helps Remote Employees?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I feel like I can just share the titles of these two articles and make my point. But I will add this one thing. As work moves to a more remote, work from anywhere, model, you have a choice on how to manage your people. You can define the work they need to do, explain how it will be measured and trust them get it done, or you can treat them like children.

    Which one do you think will make for better engaged, mentally healthy, employees?

  • Firefox 1.0.2

    It’s been released, and I think Marc Orchant over at the office weblog hits the nail right on the head when it comes to non-techie home users. (think your mom, or grandparents)Firefox is not going to be the market leader as long as installing an update is this complicated! Those types of end-users are going…

    I’ve been pretty much head’s down in Access all day so far. I had a rather complicated request for some reporting from our membership database, so I pulled all of that into Access to mess around with some queries and I’ve got it 90% done, but I’m running into a slight roadblock involving the exact…

  1. I think they are most useful. I have had only a few issues with them. I have also started experimenting with Flock of the late and it is very similar.
