Fixing Java in Firefox and IE7

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

Yesterday we were visited at work by someone from Nedstat, a company that specializes in Web statistics. But that’s not what this post is about, it’s about this: why my browsers were falling down whenever I ran Java applications; a problem I’ve had for over five months now.
Because whenever the Nedstat rep. tried to […]

What is IE doing to my blog?!

Saturday, March 4th, 2006

Last night I noticed that Internet Explorer (IE6/Win) is doing something weird to the header of my blog. The white and cream background image is also appearing above the header, which while not disasterous is rather annoying.
I very rarely ever use Internet Explorer these days, only for sites that won’t accept any other browser, […]

Autofill extension hack-fix

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

Screenshot of the Autofill Firefox extension options.
One of my favourite Firefox extensions is Autofill 0.2, a plugin that highlights form fields and allows you to fill them in automatically at the press of a toolbar button. But AutoFill 0.2 only supports Firefox up to version 1.0.x. An alternative is the Google Toolbar for Firefox, […]

Firefox 1.5 Final now released

Great news! Firefox 1.5 has been released today. Head over to www.getfirefox.com to download it (5.0 MB).
Seemingly (according to my lovely, getting-geekier-every-day friend James Frost) Firefox 1.5 is exactly the same as Firefox 1.5 RC3, which means that they obviously didn’t find any other major bugs since Release Candidate (read: nearly finished version) 3– […]

Browser updates

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005

Time to upgrade again, folks.
Mozilla Firefox is now at version 1.0.7 — the latest version being a security update.
And Opera is now at version 8.5 — but this time the full application is now free. And it’s a great application; see my review of version 8.
If only someone would either update Opera for EPOC […]

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1

Friday, September 9th, 2005

Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 is now available for download.

This is the first Beta release of the next major Firefox upgrade, which is due to be released sometime later this year. (Not bad considering that 1.0 was launched in November 2004.)
This isn’t the final release of Firefox 1.5, it is the Beta 1 version, still […]
