WordPress.com is always adding new features and hadn’t even realized they added a related posts feature. The new feature called Possibly related posts was added back at the end of April. Here’s a brief overview on how this feature works: In a feature we’re calling possibly related posts we’ll now try to show posts related to yours a little section at the end. If we find any posts on your blog that are related, we’ll put those at the very top and in bold. Next we’ll show other posts from around WordPress.com, and finally we’ll check if there’s anything in…

Back in September it was announced The Firefox Extension Guru’s Home had become a .com. However, the hosting was still on the old ffextensionguru.info domain. Friday evening we switched the primary hosting over to the ffextensionguru.com domain and made .info an alias. Visitors will not notice anything different if they go to either domain as they are both the same. As it stands now, ffextensionguru.info will be going away in July 2011 and the original ffextensiongurublog.info domain in February 2010. To avoid confusion it is best to use http://ffextensionguru.com for The Firefox Extension Guru’s Home and http://blog.ffextensionguru.com for The Firefox…

As of February 15th, the Firefox Extension Guru’s Discussion Forum has closed. Over the past couple months there has been a major decline in new activity (except the major increase in spam).  The forum is no longer accessible, Not having to constantly ‘clean-up’ the discussion forum, will allow more time to put towards the blog.

To better find the Get a Mac posts a ‘Get a Mac’ category has been created. Also two new Get a Mac posts for Sunday, January 13th.

In November, Mozilla had a record 5 Firefox/Thunderbird releases: Firefox 3.0 Beta 1 is the “most thoroughly tested beta [they’ve] ever shipped”, but it is not for the faint-of-heart. Those who were brave enough to try out the first beta quickly learned about the poor extension compatibility. Many extensions, especially those pertaining to bookmarks, will probably not function to their full potential if at all . Still a lot more work for the developers before the finished Firefox 3 product can be released. Firefox 2.0.0.9 fixed regressions from the 2.0.0.8 release the prior month Firefox 2.0.0.10 a planned security update…

I’ve updated the Fx 2.0 Tweaks Guide to include tweaks added in the past couple months.

January 2007, started with lots of tips and tweaks for Firefox: Security Component Error – A corrupted file in your Fx profile is the likely culprit of this fatal sounding Firefox error: “Could not initialize the browser’s security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your browser’s profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the browser and fix the problem. If you continue to use this browser session, you might see incorrect browser behavior when accessing…

As I hinted earlier, I am in the process of putting together another Firefox Year in Review as well as The Blog Year in Review. Just like last year, The Firefox Year In Review will be released on Christmas (December 25th) Day.  However, last year I posted the Blog Year in Review over a couple days.  This year I will be publishing these articles throughout the month of December.  The first post should be out sometime this weekend and the final post on New Years Day.  Each Blog Year in Review post will have a link (where applicable) to the…

As am I preparing to start the Firefox Year in Review along with the Blog Year in Review posts, I came across an interesting prediction I made in my Open-Source Predictions For 2007 post: (Ryan Wagner, CyberNet News) “I don’t think most people are going to switch to Windows Vista until it comes pre-installed on their PC’s.” I have to agree with Ryan here, the only way I will ever get Vista is if I buy a new PC with Vista pre-installed or if Mozilla were to stop support for WinXP (could happen with Firefox 4 in late 2008), but…
