Firefox Joys and Woes #

In trying to install the new Mozilla Firefox Preview Release version of FireFoxBrowser, I caused myself a lot of pain. In you are interested in running two more or versions of the browser simulataneously, check out what I learned about FireFoxBrowser/RunningSimultaneousVersions.

BTW, the mozdev.org - copyurlplus extension, which "enables you to copy to the clipboard the current document's address along with additional information such as the document's title, the current selection or both" has improved. It allows for customization, that is, the addition of new entries to the menu without hacking the extension (which I had done). I've added the following to prefs.js to support copying links and selections to my wiki:

 user_pref("copyurlplus.menus.1.copy", "[%URL% %TITLE%]"); 
 user_pref("copyurlplus.menus.1.label", "Copy URL + Title (Wiki)"); 
 user_pref("copyurlplus.menus.2.copy", "[%URL% %TITLE%]: %SEL%"); 
 user_pref("copyurlplus.menus.2.label", "Copy URL + Title + Sel. (Wiki)");
