Whoops! It seems when we switched the theme and redid the sidebar widgets the search widget got removed. The search widget should now be showing up at the top of the sidebar. If it is not, do a hard refresh (CTRL+F5) to force Firefox to reload the page from the sever instead of the cache.

After dealing with a broken theme for the last couple days I decided it was time to make some changes. For one, I went back to a two-column theme, frankly three-column are just to much (and is if three weren’t bad enough WordPress.com offers a four-column theme). With the three-column the content was just too narrow. I think the display problems over the last couple days were tied to the Garland theme as well as some of the sidebar widgets. For a while now I been wanting to make a custom header for my blog, something that I could also…

Still having display issues with my blog in Fx (and still it is flawlessly in IE). I have a feeling the theme is the culprit. I say this because our sister blog displays flawlessly in both Fx and IE. I’ve been playing with the idea of doing a custom image header too, but I need to find one that will work with my FeedBuner headline animator. I’ll see what it looks like tomorrow and take it from there.

The Firefox Extension Guru’s Blog along with many other WordPress Blogs are currently displaying rather oddly in Firefox and other Gecko based browsers. Sadly, they are displaying just fine in Internet Exploiter! WordPress is aware of the issue and is working to get this fixed ASAP. Keep checking back and be sure to do a force reload (CTRL+F5). We appreciate your support and patience while we wait this out.  

The other day an e-mail came into the Blog’s tips mailbox from Ken Saunders. Ken is an administrator for Spread Firefox and was inviting me to submit a review and join the Add-ons Promotion Contest. The timing of this e-mail invitation is a bit ironic as I was just discussing in the Firefox Add-ons Overhaul Pt 3 about the reviews options as part of the new Firefox Add-On site. The advertisement above gives the basic details of the contest and full details (rules, prizes, etc) can be found at Spread Firefox: Add-Ons Promotion Contest. I have entered the contest with…

Since I waiting for this DNS issue to resolve itself, I am holding off on posting any other major Firefox/Mozilla News. So, a little something different. I am one of those people who are more interested in the Super Bowl Commercials than the game itself (although this year’s was a really great game). One my favorites is the Blockbuster Commercial for Blockbuster Total Access… [youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=lamqPTAMFBg] YouTube: Blockbuster Super Bowl Commercial

I am in the process of getting my new domain, www.ffextensiongurublog.info setup with the blog. I have been experiencing some issues with the DNS servers tonight so the new domain may not be working for some people. Hopefully this will clear itself up shortly, but may take up to 48 hours for some of the servers to update. Once the DNS issues are resolved you should be able to access the blog using the new www.ffextensiongurublog.info address. With the new domain name setup, the address in the address bar remains static regardless of where in the blog you are. Because…

I have now added an Upcoming Releases sidebar widget to the right sidebar. I am going to try to keep this updated on a weekly basis. The (general) Mozilla Weekly Update Meetings are held every Monday and the Firefox 3 Status Meetings are normally held every Wednesday. Note: Fx = Firefox & TB = Thunderbird Permalink

Late yesterday Matt at WordPress announced due to overwhelming response, all WordPress blogs will now have Snap Preview Anywhere (SPA). SPA is a cool little feature which generates a preview of the page when you hover over a link. What’s even nicer is the SPA feature is retro active so this feature works on any of my past blog entries that contain links. It also suppose to work on links contained within comments as well. This is another one of those nice standard features that makes me glad I switched over to WordPress a little over 4 months ago.

Over the past couple days I have noticed a rather large increase in pingbacks and overall traffic to my Adobe Acrobat vs Foxit Reader article. I thought it may have had something to do with including it in the “Posts of Interest”. Then I started following the pingbacks and discovered there is a major flaw involving Adobe Acrobat Reader version 7.0.8 and malicious JavaScript. Here is part of the article Adobe Flaw May Be ‘Worst’ Bug Of 2007 from Yahoo!: “Adobe has promised to patch buggy versions of its popular Reader software next week to close a cross-site scripting vulnerability…
