May 02 FF search plugin for the PHP manualI have created a small search plug-in for FireFox that searches the php manual and wanted to share it with you.

FireFox [my main browser] didn't do any thing regarding this back slashes, but IE7 and Opera 9 replaced every back slash in the URLs with forward slash.
from a developer view, I can say that FF did it right. but from a user view, IE and Opera saved my time. October 27 FF2.0: Undo close tabI don't know if you noticed that or not (I didn't notice it anyway). Chris Shiflett wrote in his blog about the "undo close tab" option. just right click with your mouse on any tab and at the end of the menu you will find that option. Also, I have noticed another thing when I was writing this post. you can spell check more then one language. just right click with your mouse on any <text area> , in the menu go to "languages->add dictionaries" which will show you a list of available languages. till the moment, there is no Arabic dictionary supported there but I hope that it will be available soon. check the new MDC (Mozilla Developer Center) for more. yea, it's still beta, but we are the beta community too. PS : noticed that ? MDC here means "Mozilla Developer Center" not "Middle East Developers Conference". October 26 FireFox 2.0 is here tooFireFox 2.0 is here guys. it's amazing. here is some of the new features :
you are encouraged to upgrade to the new version. upgrading to the new version won't make you lose your bookmarks or preferences, but maybe your outdated extensions won't work until updating .don't worry, the installer will check your installed extensions to check for compatibility with the new version. I have installed FF2.0 without problems at all. and all the extensions are working fine. another thing, the Internet Explorer development team sent cake to the FireFox team for the release of FF2.0 . happy feast. |
