Using FireFox? Make sure you upgrade to version 3.0.
Among numerous changes Mozilla completely refined it’s JavaScript engine, making dynamic feature rich applications (FileBuffer 4 included) significantly faster and glitch free.
Every other FireFox advantage you’re used to has been improved as well, and the very sweet package was spiced up with new and useful features such as:
- One click bookmarks
- New address/history/bookmark bar, all in one
- Visual feedback for EV SSL certificates
If you didn’t have a chance to try out FireFox this is a great chance to do so:
The launch of FireFox 3 was accompanied by a “Download Day” promotional action. Everyone who participated knows that huge expectation and interest resulted in a massive strain on Mozilla’s download mirrors, downloads had to be suspended for a period of time and throttled shortly after. While I did manage to get my copy during the spike I refrained from posting until now, you should be able to download without any limits at this time.

Well thanks for the link, but you may want to make use of Firefox 3’s integrated spell check before your next post.
“expetation and intrest” => “expectation and interest”
“untill” => “until”
etc.

Heh, to be perfectly honest, when trying to rest by typing a blog post in between 2k lines of code, one pays little consideration for spelling and grammar. As for the nifty underlining: I barely notice it
On the brighter note, blog doesn’t follow this post’s trend, even though I rarely bother with spell checkers.
Thanks for the heads up, and you’re quite welcome for the trackback.

I expect that Firefox 3 has many improvements that one doesn’t really notice, but the big one for me is the way pasting into the address bar now works.
If you copy and paste a URL from an email that has broken it across several lines, it now pastes the whole thing in, rather than just the first line. Best improvement for years.
