Firefox Smart Keywords

One of the cool features of Firefox, is the ability to use smart keywords to get to pages like google very quickly. If you are like me, you used to goto www.google.com, then select the input box, and type in what you are looking for.

With the advent of Smart Keywords, you can open a new browser, type in "google spoke pov" and your new page will fill with the results of a google search of "spoke pov".

I spent some time looking through the preferences of Firefox to see where this is setup, only to find nothing in the options.

After some more googling, I found that these are done by an extension of any bookmark you make. For example goto a site like thottbot and search for "Runecloth". You are returned with the following URL (http://www.thottbot.com/?s=runecloth). All you do is book mark this page, and then go in and replace runecloth with %s. Also, you update the keyword field to be thottbot. Save the bookmark, and now you can type "thottbot runecloth" and it will perform the search for you automatically.

Found all the details at this site.

CorvettePower.COM is now Drupal 4.7.1

I finally upgraded to Drupal 4.7.1, from 4.3.0, and let me tell you it was a battle. To upgrade, you need to do every upgrade between 4.3.0 to 4.7.1, which was 4.3.0, 4.4.0, 4.5.3, 4.6.3, 4.7.1. 😀 Oh Joy.

I’ve switched to Firefox

Well its official I am now using Firefox for 99% of all my web browsing. There still some sites that just work better from IE. Also, all of my Firefox traffic gets routed through Privoxy prior to seeing the browser, so that adds some delay in accessing some sites with lots of little pictures.

The key extentions that I use are as follows.

AdBlock
- Duh, blocks Ad's

Tab Mix Plus
- Overkill for the key feature that I need... saving all open tabs, and reopening them when Firefox restarts.

FlashBlock
- Blocks Flash Animation, replacing it with a 'Play' button allowing you to decide when annoying flash ad's, or useful Flash applications can run.

SpellBound
- Spell checks text boxes... obviously I don't use it enough. 🙂

Mozilla Archive Format
- Allows you to save a web page into a single file, supports MHT (which is the format IE uses to archive into a single file. Great way to save pages with information such as invoices, reciepts, and information that might change over time.

QuickTabPrefToggle
- More tab preferences settings, probably outdated now that I use Tab Mix Plus.

vvv

SessionSaver
- Outdated by Tab Mix Plus, but much lighter weight tab saver. Saves all current tabs that you have open, and reopens them if Firefox crashes, or you restart your computer.

Add Bookmark Here
- Adds a bookmark by navigating the bookmark menu, rather than having to bring up a window and select the folder in the window.

BitTorrent

Thottbot
- Search engine addin for Thottbot, opens new tab with item searched for.

Driving Fans Keep Reading

One of my favorite car movies of all time is the short film "Rendezvous," a short made by French film maker Claude Lelouch who, it is said, mounted a camera on the bumper of his Ferrari 365 GTB Daytona and drove at high speed in urban Paris up to the Cathedral at Montmarte at about 4:30 in the morning. The film is absolutely uncut and has never been doctored. It is very scandalous. You can download it at
