Firefox Looking Good enough for me!

[ChrisTech]

I installed FF 1.0 PR on a customer's machine yesterday, and it had the google search bar to the right of the address bar. Or are you looking for the actual page rank stuff, ect?

I have FF 1.0 PR installed at work and home, and both work just fine. Why upgrade ? If it ain't broke....

I do believe he means the SEO part of it.
Plus the "Google Bar" is more of a general search bar
with different search plugins (which are incredibly easy to make).

Buddha,

There is a Google Toolbar extension for Firefox. I haven't used it, but I've seen it. But with the final release of Firefox 1.0 just a day or two ago, the Firefox download site is too busy to get into easily to find it.

As a side note, I have been running the 1.0PR version, and yesterday I downloaded and installed the new 1.0 final version. Now many of my extensions won't work. I'd wait awhile to install this newest final release.

I'll second that. Most I can do without, though I'd
be a little less productive; but there is one I cannot live out.

And of course, that one doesn't work with FF 1.0

I agree, if your thinking of upgrading to 1.0 FF I would say wait a week or two.

On an up note I found a spell checking extension that I is just a must have for forums: SpellBound

While we're talking about forum extensions.. let's not forget:

Wow I just used it and it corrected a few things. Anyways, back to the horrible work of homework!
Also, is it just me or does FireFox now take like 20-30seconds to load?

Which of the RSS newsfeeds plug-ins do you guys like?

I'm playing with 1.0 now, and like it quite a bit. Much nicer on any site with pop-ups (the Google toolbar pop-up blocker is now failing on several sites).

For Firefox? I used to use Sage, but now that I've figured
out how FireFox's built-in "Live Bookmarks" work, I just use those.

Just simply go to Bookmarks -> Manage -> File -> Add New Live.
Enter RSS/XML url & name; it makes a virtual bookmark w/ links that
will change according to the RSS feed and what not.

Not sure if it supports ATOM or not, so you may
need a extention for that; BTW is it just me or is
PR1 letting in more and more pop ups??

SitePoint.com's book advert popups keep getting
by; I've been refusing all cookies there except
basic vB ones, and its still happening

Finally made the move over to FireFox 1.0; the install was absolutely
painless, added on by the fact I forgot to delete the profile directory
to start from scratch (which I usually do).

Downside is, I got a bad theme that basicly crapped out FireFox
and after close to 40mins I finally gave up trying to recover and
installed absolutely fresh. I like it, not all that big of a change I guess.

Don't use UA Switcher but I did just update to JRE 1.5 plugin which seems to get rid of a few Java bugs.
