Firefox 3.0

Cross-posted on Changing Connections

First real day off from school (department meeting/curriculum writing yesterday) and I’m sitting on my back porch, looking at a wide-angle vista of the farm, mentally designing the new barn for my llamas, the fencing, all the steps that need to be taken before my girls come home. My laptop sits on the table next to morning coffee and I find something that actually can distract me from thinking about my future venture: Firefox 3.0, unveiled yesterday. For the last half hour, I’ve been busy browsing and downloading the best of the extensions and plug-ins, and believe me, there are so many useful ones, so I took quite a few of them.  Call it a sense of entitlement or a learning curve (or both), but I am already having fun and simplifying my online life with the newest Firefox offerings. The downside: no Blinklist integrated extension, so someone out there who understands code, please create one.

Why do I life Firefox (over Safari or IE in any version)? Because it is simply the best browser out there, compatible with all the different blog formats that I use (Safari is not), and it comes with the extensions necessary for ease of online survival. If you haven’t tried it, now would be a great time to upgrade to the 3.0 version, an international brower that speaks your language.
