WiredMonkey Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Thanks for the post flatiron__2. As an avid Firefox enthusiast, I will enjoy surfing on those links and the stuff the sites have beyond that too. I think this will be very helpful to lots of people...The extensions are a nice start towards tweaking Firefox, but I had no idea so much more could be done with them until this week. Excellent!!

WiredMonkey Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I've noticed that a lot of folks on here have done their homework, flatiron__2 - we're in the presence of some folks who truly know their stuff. I love being in good communities like that. I only hope I can add to the collective at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
