There is a new FireFox 3 plug-in called ScribeFire that makes it easy to publish blog entries direct from the browser itself. It looks like a pretty good tool, fairly full-featured and compatible with many blog formats. Try it out and see if it makes life any easier for blogging!

It's so annoying when software gives me an option to do something, then just doesn't do it. Firefox 2 (and now 3) is a very nice place to browse. It has lots of cool features like tabbed browsing. I love this feature, and tell Firefox to open all pop-ups in a tab instead of a new window.

For some reason there is one stubborn link that opens it in a new window anyway. After a bit of research, I discovered that there IS a way to fix it!

open the about:config page, and change the "browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction" setting to 0 (zero).

This seems to do the trick! No muss no fuss. Does this work in 3.0 as well? Let me know if you have tried it out...

If it opens in a tab, you've fixed it!
