FireFox Problems
I got the new improved FireFox, version 3, yesterday and now I'm using MS Explorer. FF3 is SLOW. I can't get into Blogger. Several add-ons I liked, TinyURL Creator, Link Evaluator, Persistent URL Bookmarker, and Map+ (opens a map for any address) don't work. I'm going to have to investigate wither it is possible to roll-back to the old version. I sure hope so. My advice, FWIW, wait.
It is the portable version of FireFox, maybe the regular version would not be so slow. It still wouldn't have the add-ons.
Operator+, an add-on that allows working with microformats is not working properly. I can't seem to export hCal events to Outlook.
June 24, I've reverted to an older version of FF Portable. All my tools are working again. At home I plan on moving to FF3. It will not be the portable version and the add-on tools are much less important.
