App of the week: Firefox Home
Posted on 20. Jul, 2010 by Kenny.
So I just found a killer new app. It’s called Firefox Home. I’m a pretty big fan of Firefox and it’s my default browser. I don’t know if any of you are like this, 
but I’ve got tab issues. I like to have lots and lots of tabs open at the same time. When I say lots of tabs, I really mean A LOT of tabs. It’s a problem I certainly need help with, but that’s a different blog post.
So, have you ever been on your iPhone and you can’t remember a site you need to go to that you even have bookmarked on your computer at home? Maybe that page is even open on your computer at the office right now.… Read the rest

App of the week: FireFTP
Posted on 28. Feb, 2010 by Kenny.
If you don’t manage a self-hosted website, you can probably ignore this App of the Week.
If you do, let me introduce you to my App of the Week, FireFTP. Most people I talk to use Filezilla as their FTP manager. It’s free and it’s good. I have a copy as well, but I’ve only used it once or twice in the past year, ever since I started using FireFTP.
FireFTP seems to do it all. At least, it does everything I need when it comes to managing files on multiple websites I run. What I like about FireFTP is that it’s not a separate application like Filezilla. It’s a Firefox plugin. I go up to the toolbar and select FireFTP and it opens a full featured FTP client within a tab on my browser.… Read the rest

Browser Wars
Posted on 15. Feb, 2010 by Kenny.
Yesterday I announced that Google Chrome was my app of the week, mostly becasue of the extensions capability. I’ve been using Firefox for the last several years and have been very excited to move to Chrome. However, I realized that most people generally use Internet Explorer if they have a PC. If they have a Mac, then there’s a good chance they’re using Safari. What browser you use is totally a personal choice, but I think that most of these people use these browsers simple becasue it’s what was on their computer when they got it and they’re just happy with it. The problem is that most of these people don’t know that there could possibly be a much better experience right around the corner.… Read the rest

Mac OS Firefox tweak
Posted on 24. Aug, 2009 by Kenny.
Maybe it’s just me. I’m not talking to everyone out there, but just the Mac users who are using Firefox. Firefox in my opinion is the best web browser out there (pushing innovation in web browsing to a new level and the add-on features make certain sites and certain tasks come to life). However, Firefox has done this buggy thing for me ever since I moved to the Mac. When filling out an online form (usually entering my address) I begin typing in the first field and when done typing the information I “tab” to the next field. No need to mouse over and click when I can type, tab, type, tab, type. However, whenever I would get to a pull-down tab, like the state, the tab button just skipped over this field.… Read the rest

ScribeFire: A blogging tool add-on for Firefox
Posted on 01. Jun, 2008 by Kenny.
Are you a blogger? Do you use Firefox?
May I recommend a pretty cool blogging tool?
I have a WordPress blog. Initially I would log into my WordPress admin page to write posts. I don’t any longer.
For the past 5-6 months, I’ve been using Windows Live Writer. It’s a great little program. It has some bells and whistles that make is stand out from the rest. However, the other day I came across Tony Morgan’s list of favorite Firefox add-ons. One of them was the ScribeFire add-on. It’s so cool! I’ve now written 6 or 7 new blog posts using it. It manages multiple blogs and is still much better than the WordPress admin editor. I still think Live Writer is a better program with more options (a lot of great photo effects and scalers).… Read the rest
