Web: Donncha notes that Mozilla Firebird has been renamed ‘Firefox’. Retro cruddy 80’s Cold War movie reference? check!

I like it. In fact, I’m looking forward to Linux kernel 2.6.2 ‘Red Dawn’.

BTW, my current favourite Firebird^H^H^H^Hfox extension: Session Saver. Load and save the current list of open tabs, and have them automatically saved when you quit the browser. Given that I often have a few tabs on stuff I’m researching, leaving them until I’m a bit less busy (which can take days!), this fits perfectly with my modus operandi.

Funny: This is GREAT!

And if that’s too much product placement for you, there’s Students for an Orwellian Society: ‘Because 2004 is 20 years too late.’

Mozilla Firebird has this feature that obviously seemed like a good idea, but unfortunately isn’t really — automatic image resizing.

Well, while surfing about looking at the next-gen Bluecurve screenshots, I came across a screenshot with a link to linuxart.com, which had a top tip:

• type ‘about:config’
• scroll down to browser.automatic_image_resize, double click, change to ‘false’

Hey presto!

This is very cool. It’s a fully browser-based RSS aggregator, no installation required; it just runs in your Mozilla or Firebird browser window. Nifty.

Found via a referrer link on Jeremy’s blog — there are no secrets where public referrer data is involved ;)
