more for firefox users ...

If you've arrived at this entry via an internet search involving Spaces and Firefox you'll find a series of entries about Firefox and MSN Spaces in a list accessed from the home page of my blog.

just thought i'd add some more useful things for those of you who read the big entry on Firefox and msn spaces and wanted to try more Firefox convenience .


first , some useful extensions I've added to customize Firefox and make it do tricks that I.E. just can't do . also how Firefox automatically copies your I.E. favourites across .

link preview - this extension brings up a thumbnail of the link you're hovering on allowing you to get some idea of what the content might be before you click through on it . it's generally handy but extremely useful when you do a www search as you can hover on the links of the result .


translate - this extension allows you to place a button on your tool bar which automatically translates the page from several languages into English . much handier than having to open up a separate tab / window and feed the url into babelfish or altavista .
if you use Firefox already why not give these extensions a go . if you don't ....... download Firefox anyway and next time you've got a free half hour fire it up and see what you can do with it .
Firefox will automatically import your current Internet Explorer favourites by a feature already built in - shown here . so there's no excuse not to !
to link from your space to this entry simply use this url to make a link or hyperlink button .
