I’ve just discovered a great little plugin for anyone who’s interested in photography – the EXIF Viewer addon for Firefox allows you to view the EXIF data (camera model, exposure settings etc) for any image on the web.

I updated to FF3 today, and can no longer drag images directly from Firefox into Photoshop as a new image. This is a deal killer for me – I’ll be rolling back to Firefox 2.x if I can’t find a fix for it.

If you don’t like the looks of Firefox 3′s new location bar (I hate it), then try the Oldbar addon. It keeps the functionality of the new Firefox 3 url bar, but makes it look more like Firefox 2.

Apple have just updated Safari for Windows to v3.1. Yet another browser that we’ll all need to check our sites with.

If you’ve recently installed a new version of Firefox (a fresh install – not an update), then you might find that the “check spelling as I type” feature no longer works. This is because some of the newer releases of Firefox don’t come with a dictionary. If your Firefox download didn’t come with a dictionary file, you can download one here. Or you can jump straight to the English dictionary downloads here:

• Australian English dictionary
• British English dictionary
• American English dictionary

InFormEnter is a great little plugin for Firefox that adds a drop down list of ‘pre-filled’ fields to help you fill in forms more quickly. It saves heaps of time when manually adding your site to directories, and it’s so intuitive to use that you can zone out completely and work zombie style.
