Firefox 3 is here. Where are my add-ons?

So, like much of the world, I’ve upgraded to Firefox 3. I’ve been using it at home for a few months now, but I’ve been hesitant to use it at work, mostly because I didn’t want to mess around with getting add-ons working with the beta. Now that Firefox 3 is here, there are still a number of essential web development add-ons that were not updated by default.

All I needed to do was download and reinstall the add-on.

Finally, credit where it is due, these add-ons updated without a hitch:

Greetings

This is — or will be — my technical blog, which I said was on it’s way over a year ago. Better late than never.

For the moment, I’ll be using this blog as a brain dump; a place to place the various bits and pieces of PHP, Python, Ruby, HTML, CSS and Sysadmin knowledge I pick up. I never seem to be to find these things when I need them, so the hope is that by keeping them here, I’ll start to build up a library of information. This will also allow me to share these tips with others and get feedback on how they can be improved.

This is a soft launch of the site. The theme still needs a fair bit of work, and I’m still getting my head around WordPress MU, which I may be using to host a number of blogs.

So, if you’ve found this site, please excuse the mess. I’ll work on this while I have time, but I wanted to get this live and running to test the differences between WordPress and WordPress MU.
