If you use the Greasemonkey extension, you should upgrade to the new 0.2.6 version. It fixes a lot of things like navigation that were breaking for some people. Don't forget to check out the ever-growing list of user scripts.

Also, from Simon Willison's Weblog:

The latest release of the swiss army knife of Firefox extensions adds support for cross-domain XMLHttpRequest calls from greasemonkey scripts. What that means is that you can create a user script (a short JavaScript that will be executed whenever your browser loads specific pages) that can then pull extra data in from another server. This new ability is described in the greasemonkey documentation.

If you are using Firefox 1.0.1 there are a couple paths you can take to update your browser to 1.0.2. I've outlined them below:

The first method is to look up in the upper right hand corner of your browser window for an icon that looks like this:

The red icon indicates there are critical updates available. Clicking on the icon will cause your browser to start scanning internet for updates. You'll then get dialog box that looks like:

Simply click the Install Now button and Firefox will download the latest version and install it. You don't have to shutdown Firefox, it will prompt you then do it for you when the install happens.

Another method is in the Tools menu. Click Tools - Options and choos the Advanced tab. Scroll down until you find the sofware updates section:

Click the Check Now button and just like above, Firefox will scan for updates and present you with the Updates Found dialog. Then just click Install Now and the download and install process will start.

If none of those work, simply go to the Mozilla page and download the update yourself: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

When you start your new browser you may still see the icon. Go ahead and click it to have Firefox look for any updates to your extensions.

Welcome to the new Tech.Life.Blogged!

I've moved the site to blogspot because it is a much easier URL to remember. If you are subscribing to my feed via feedburner, you shouldn't have to change anything. If you are using the old atom feed I broke you. Sorry about that. Hopefully I haven't lost anyone and that if you did use the old feeds you'll resubscribe.
If you are one of the unfortunates, the new feed is here.

The old site is still around for archival purposes and of course my tips and tricks pages are still around.

Hopefully I'll like this new home and we can all continue to collaborate and communicate as we have always done.
