- * Extensions in Firefox 1.5; Add-Ons in Firefox 2+
- 2 Some work Session Management extensions work with Firefox 1.5, with Flock 0.7.X, not with Firefox 2.0, and Firefox 2.0 has built-in sessionmanager.
- 3 works with Flock, but not with Firefox.
- 4 tips from the author: What I do though is go to preferences/invocation and set it to Toolbar mode, as I mentioned below. However what I didn't mention is why: It means the menu does not come up when selecting text! ONLY when you hit the enter key after you select text. Try it :-) It's much less obtrusive. I recommend toolbar mode: hit enter and it hoists the selection to the toolbar, then use they keyboard shortcuts
- 5 Works with Firefox 1.5, not with 2.x
- 6 Works with Firefox 2.x, not with 1.5
- 7Groowe Search Toolbar bundles toolbar functions for many search engines, shopping sites, download sites, including Google toolbar, Yahoo, Amazon, EBay, Ask, Msn, Download.com, Wikipedia, Digg, del.icio.us and others
- 8 Can you scroll back in Jabberbar? Can you enlarge Jabberbar?
