Firefox Extensions Part 5

Jeeze, I am becoming a real freak about these. But like everything I am sure it will wear off, and last night may have been the high point as I downloaded about 20 new extensions from a list of about 300. There isn’t anywhere else to go from here I would guess.

Since I wrote about this in May, this has been bugging me. Here is the browser that I am attached at the hip to, and anytime I say, “Gee, I wish Firefox did this…” I go out and look for an extension that does exactly that. But there wasn’t an updated version of mimiT that worked with Firefox 1.0.4, or at least I thought.

Version 0.5 is now out, and has been out for a little while I think. You have to watch the extensions pages at Mozilla, sometimes you can come across the outdated versions and the only difference is the version number of the extension. Normally Mozilla keeps these updated for you once you install them, but that is the trick, installing them even if they aren’t compatible.

So, enough rambling. This extension lets me drag my browser windows! Finally. Easy to use, and helps manage my information when researching. I love it. Notice the screenshot below. It gives you a nice little purple arrow to show you where you are going to drop your tab in your new arrangement. Supposedly this should be in Firefox version 1.1, and you can test it out on the developer release entitled Deer Park.
