Firefox 3 was finally released on Tuesday 17th to a mixed reception. The security community picked a few holes in it- the unreliability of how it reports phishing sites and drive-by downloads being the main concerns.
My concern was how it would handle the SEO plugins that I rely on, on a day-to-day basis. I’d never thought about how much I take for granted something as simple as Number Google Results for Greasemonkey:
…but as an SEO when you’re faced with the possibility of losing this kind of functionality, the upgrade can be a bit fraught.
However, it appears that most useful plugins are fully functional in Firefox 3:
Search Status
CSS Viewer
IE Tab
Web Developer Toolbar
Firebug
Greasemonkey (you need this plugin for Greasemonkey scripts to work)
Nofollow display Greasemonkey script
Numbered MSN Results
Greasemonkey script – doesn’t seem to work with Live though
…so, many thanks to Mozilla- its pretty much business as usual
