Firefox Facts (and Fictions)

April 25th, 2007


As a long time Firefox supporter, it has been great to see the project mature and gain popularity over the past few years, but it has also been horrible to watch fan boys and open source zealots make Firefox out to be something that it is not. There are numerous half truths and misconceptions surrounding Firefox, and unfortunately I don’t have the time to dispell them all. Luckily this site did all the work and research for me:

Firefox Myths

I hope all Firefox users will check this site out. It does us all a disservice when ignorant supporters misrepresent Firefox.

Open Javascript links in new tabs/windows

March 27th, 2007

Normally, in Firefox, javascript links (such as javascript: link) can only be accessed through a left click. I have often desired to open these links in a new tab with the middle button click method, however this has always been impossible until now (atleast for firefox users) thanks to the Smart Middle Click Firefox extension. Description from author spiers:

By default, middle clicking on javascript links in Firefox opens a blank tab instead of following the link. This extension fixes that problem and lets middle clicks open simple javascript links in new tabs. It is not very sophisticated, so some javascript links may not work, but most will.

I hope you find the Smart Middle Click extension as useful as I have. Happy browsing.
