I figured out a new way to make sure I have the correct spelling of a word. If the word is on notepad, word, website.. highlight it and drag it to the Google toolbar. The result will either be a suggestion of how to spell the word or links to whatever the word is.  This may be old-school to many, but I caught myself doing that and it worked!

Whatever you are reading - if you want more information on a word or subject. You can do the same. Hi-light the word of subject from where you are reading it from and drag and drop it into the Google search toolbar. There you can find more history or articles about that word or phrase.

FireFox3 Example

I thought I would check out to see what the latest Firefox has in store.  I downloaded the latest Firefox 3.03b beta 

A few things I have noticed after playing around -

  • When I goto Google Email, it does not freeze and crash! Ya!! I have redownloaded, reinstalled, disabled all add ons and still could not get Firefox to quit crashing. Firefox 3 is not crashing!
  • Disable CSS Quickly by clicking View | Page Style | No Stle - Great for Web Developers testing CSS and also disabling for accessibility issues. No need to download a seperate program to disable cssin a few clicks.
  • It is titled "Minefield"
  • When you close the browser and have tabs open, it asks you if you want to open the tabs on the next start
  • Keyboard navigation of webpages via TAB broken (See link to bug)
