Exploring Firefox Extensions

Posted by Hemos on Monday September 6, 2004 @12:37AM from the learning-more-about-it dept.

Gary writes "If you haven't made the switch to Mozilla Firefox it may be because you aren't aware of the great benefits Firefox has over IE. Flexbeta has posted a nice HOWTO guide on Firefox extensions; my favorite is the Target Alert extension which displays a small graphic next to links that are not web pages. For example a mailto: link will display a small envelope, a link to a PDF file will display a small Adobe icon, etc."

Just tell her to upgrade Windows to Service Pack 2 and then explain how IE's new inbuilt popup blocker will suppress those pop up windows. Everyone's happy.
