Jump from Firefox to any other browser in a flash

By Mark O'Neill
Contributing Writer, [GAS]

I'm sure that most of you, like me, live and breathe Mozilla Firefox. However, there will be times when you may have to use another browser, such as when you're coding a webpage and need to see how it looks in all available browsers. Or you may come across a website that simply refuses to work in Firefox and demands that you use IE instead. Yes, there ARE still sites out there that refuse to obey the Fox.

The IE Tab extension is already well known, but did you know about some of the other ones out there? For example, here's OperaView if you want to jump to Opera from Firefox. There's even one for Safari (Windows and Mac).

And if you're a fan of the new Google Chrome browser, you can even have a right-click option to be able to jump to Chrome.

Fwd: [Fwd: The Winalot Diet]

Begin forwarded message:

Subject: The Winalot Diet

A real story by a Man who was standing in a queue in Tesco's.........
 
 
 
 
I have 2 dogs & I was buying a large bag of Winalot in Tesco and was 
standing in the queue at the till.
 
A woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
 
On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Winalot Diet again, 
although I probably shouldn't because
 
I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds 
before I awakened in an intensive care ward
 
with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
 
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and the way that it 
works is to load your trouser pockets with
 
Winalot nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry & 
that the food is nutritionally complete
 
so I was going to try it again.
 
I have to mention here that practically everyone in the queue was by 
now enthralled with my story, particularly
 
a guy who was behind her.
 
Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition 
because I had been poisoned. I told her no,
 
it was because I'd been sitting in the road licking my balls and a car 
hit me.
 
I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so 
hard as he staggered out the door.
 
Stupid cow..........why else would I buy dog food?

My Youngest Wreckporter

"Now let's kick it over to our newest Wrecks correspondent Violet, who is currently on location at her sister Ruby's third birthday party. Violet?"

"Jen, I'm sitting here in witness to the worst Wreck I've seen in my admittedly young life. Take a look at the disaster area left behind by what could only be called a Disney Princess Explosion.

"As you can see, there is airbrushing, hearts, garland, blobbular "rosebuds", and green leaves growing UP the "waterfall" - not to mention the fact that you have to clear off all the toys before you can even cut the thing! And don't get me started on those three '3' candles - I may only be 10 months old, but even I know that math doesn't add up."

"Wow, Violet, isn't that kind of harsh? I mean, the colors are pretty."

"Pretty? Pretty?!? Obviously you aren't seeing the matching Princess plates, napkins, cups, giftwrap... Do you see this hat I'm wearing, Jen?"

"I think it's Tinkerbell."

"No, it's a representation of the blatant over-commercialization that is running rampant in our society, that's what it is. Would you like to hear my dissertation on the breaking down of social conventions by the media barons?"

"Oh, look at the time! Sorry Violet, but we need to wrap this up."

"No problem; time for my nap anyway. Hey, Mom! Guess who needs a fresh diaper? Eh? Hey, what is that? Oh heck no, I am NOT wearing a Princess themed diaper! No, absolutely not! You're making a mockery of my beliefs, woman! Get that away from me!"

"That was Violet, my youngest Wreckporter, folks!"

Cassie F. (aka Mom), don't worry; she'll love that hat by the time she turns 3.
