The FireFTP extension is a plague that must be wiped clean from this earth.

This article at mozillazine gets into some of the security issues with Firefox, as explained by a Microsoft Project Manager. Specifically:

While we believe that Firefox's extension installation mechanism is probably trickier to exploit than IE's, it seems that Microsoft's browser is better at preventing accidental installations of malicious code in some situations.

It is exactly that kind of honest, non-inflamitory introspection that makes projects sucessful. Expect to see some better signing-of-extensions in the future, and better Firefox security in general.

Just took a quick diversion from work to download some Firefox themes. There are some real cool ones out there.

The webdeveloper Toolbar is absolutely indispensable. Which is one of the many reasons why Mozilla/Firefox makes me cream myself with joy (Mmmm joycream).

Not only is it useful in the design phase of building a website, such as putting outlines over certain elements, viewing style details, editing the stylesheet, and viewing the changes on the fly... But it is also extremely useful in the programming side of things, such as being able to muck about with the form vars, turn off cookies temporarily, view the cookies, disable things like Javascript, cookies, and Referer Logging. Check the Page and Response headers.. The lost goes on.

So if you do any kind of web-work at all, GO GET IT. If you still use IE as your primary browser, grab a real standards compliant browser instead, and go get it.
