New Firefox Features
- Tuesday, October 05, 2004
Found a couple great new features of the Firefox browser that I want to mention.
The first is the Find bar. Now in Firefox, when you press Control-F instead of getting an awful dialog box that covers the page your searching, you get a simple toolbar at the bottom of the page. Even better, there's an option to automatically highlight the search word anywhere it appears on the page.
The second is Live Bookmarks which turns Firefox into something of a RSS newsreader. This seems very cool to me, but I haven't made much use of it yet, so I'm considering the jury still out.

Actually, what I'd recommend is to make full use of the extension ability of Firefox. Two fine examples are:
- Sage (a very nice RSS feed reader incorporated into Firefox, it can be called by ALT + S)
- Context Highlight (select some text on a web page, right-click and chose Highlight and all appearances of that text on the page get automatically highlighted)
I just can't recommend them enough. Just install them and check for yourself.
