Justinsomnia has two relevant tips for Firefox users making the upgrade to Firefox 2.0:
Fixing Firefox 2’s new tab bar
If you use a lot of tabs you’ve probably noticed that Firefox 2.0 introduces a new scroll-to-find-new-tab game. Justin explains how to fix.
Resizable Form Fields for Firefox
Ever tried typing an essay in a text area that’s 3 rows by 10 columns? The resizable form field plugin lets you drag the edges of form fields until they’re as big as you like. It’s been around forever but didn’t work in Firefox 2.0. Justin fixed and added some improvements.
(while we’re fixing firefox, here’s how to get livehttpheaders to install.)
There’s a couple of other reasons I read this blog. I worked with Justin at O’Reilly. He’s now a top engineer at FM Publishing, which is a company I think will be very important for programmers starting small web businesses. Most importantly though, he’s got a good nose for local (SF Bay Area) activities and foods. For example he clued me into the Russian River Beer Revival (and BBQ competition), which is where I’ll be going if I don’t get a FOOCamp invite next year.
