If you are tired of your current web browser, or you tend to have a lot of websites open at once, you might want to try out the new Firefox 1.5<\/a> browser (for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux). Version 1.5 was officialy released yesterday. If you haven’t used tabbed browsing, it’ll change the way you browse the web – imagine having all of the websites you have open listed as tabs across the top of your window, rather than a bunch of windows, and being able to easily navigate between them using either keyboard or mouse. It also has a built-in search function, pop-up blocking, quick load-times, and drag-and-drop tab reordering (yes, you can move the tabs around on the tab-bar).<\/p>\n

This<\/a> explains tabbed browsing.
\nThis<\/a> integrated searching.
\nAnd this<\/a> live search.<\/p>\n

While your at it, you might want to install one extension that has been mentioned on a few genealogy sites – Scrapbook<\/a>:<\/p>\n

ScrapBook is a Firefox extension, which helps you to save Web pages and easily manage collections. Key features are lightness, speed, accuracy and multi-language support. Major features are: Save Web page; Save snippet of Web page; Save Web site; Organize the collection in the same way as Bookmarks tree; Full text search and quick filtering search of the collection; Editing of the collected Web page; Text\/HTML edit feature resembling Opera’s Notes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know I’ve saved a lot of information off of the internet, and this is a much more elegant way of doing so.<\/p>\n

I should mention that I haven’t come across any genealogy sites that don’t work with Firefox – all work as good or better than Internet Explorer for Windows (and\/or Safari on Mac OS X). Firefox has come a long way, and the next major version of Internet Explorer (sometime later next year, and possibly only for Windows XP\/Vista) is going to add some of Firefox’s features – that tells you how advanced Firefox is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
