Fun With Firefox

A few goodies to enhance your Firefox experience.

1. Came across this pretty cool Firefox extension: Bookmarks Synchronizer. If you have a web space that you can ftp to, or WebDAV to (e.g., .Mac), then you can upload your bookmarks there, and then synchronize from that "master" copy. This is sweet if you have multiple machines, because you can pretty easily keep their bookmarks all synchronized from that copy. This also seems to be available from a site called Mozilla Update, but the site is "beta", somehow, so I don't know... Those Mozilla people need to keep tidying up their website(s).
   
   
2. Here's a cool feature that's been in Firefox, but which I somehow just never noticed. Did you know that the search bar in Firefox, which normally goes to Google, can be switched to search other sites, such as dictionary.com? And Amazon, and Ebay? Just by clicking the little down-arrow in the Google icon? You did? Well, Mr./Ms. Know-It-All, did you know you can add other sites to search, such as The Site Which Makes The Internet Worth It All By Itself - IMDb? Just go to "Add New Search Engines" on Firefox Central.
   
   
3. Also, 1.01 is out, with "several fixes to guard against spoofing and arbitrary code execution," so grab it if you haven't already.
