Firefox 3.5 is out

I am becoming a promiscuous browser user. I use Chrome for my
practice-related webapps, since its isolated tabs make it very crash-proof.
Firefox is for general browsing, blogging, etc., since Chrome still gets one
or two things wrong every now and then. IE is just for checking my other
Feedburner account, so I don't have to log out and back in in Firefox.

Haven't really played with Opera, though.

I notice Jureeka (the one that parses pages for case citations and attempts to create working hyperlinks) is broken by 3.5.

My main use of IE is to keep hitting the refresh button, until whatever I'm coding finally looks right in IE. When I remember to...

And naturally, the new version breaks a few things. I received an
email from LibX.org telling me that I need to go and test the my LibX
toolbars to see if they will work with 3.5. I wonder what else won't
work. Oh well.

The biggest problem is they do not write 64 bit extensions. We upgraded 38 machines this year to W7. 64 bit because we have 4 Gigs of RAM. We still install Firefox 64 bit, because some people like it, but if they don't support the inevitable evolution to 64 bit, screw them..... Sorry buddies, I was on a platform right there, but holding telling the truth.

"Letting this argument prevail would really put a damper on
technological development in education."

Okay, at first glance, I get that. But then, development for whom?

I may be mixing my teknoids hat with my progressive librarian hat - but
I think that reactions similar to that (my own included!) are exactly
why such suits need to be brought. Why should the sight impaired be
forced to wait for a retro-fit when this could have easily been built
accessibly from the ground up? I think the suit at least brings to the
forefront of discussion that, where possible, technological developments
in education need to benefit all, not increase the advantage some
already have. I don't think that's always possible, but university's
especially need to use their clout to push in that direction.

I'll be the first to acknowledge that I'm not sure how much more in
development $ costs and time costs Amazon would have had to put in to
make it's interface accessible.

Not to be insensitive or anything, but shouldn't they also be suing the
university to prevent them from deploying print textbooks on exactly the
same grounds? There is nothing that requires Amazon to make the Kindle
accessible to the vision impaired. I would think that so long as the
university made the same materials available to the vision impaired
students, there is no real problem. Letting this argument prevail would
really put a damper on technological development in education."

Frankly, I find Internet Explorer to be very convenient. Using Firefox means I have to manually install all that spyware, and that just takes too much time out of each browsing session of each day. With IE, I can surf the Interweb with little or no noticeable timeouts for manual installation of any software, and all of my school and client files are completely transparent to the world! Firefox and Chrome be damned!

Folks,
Firefox 3.5 is out of beta. If you're a FF user, you really need this
upgrade. Visit www.mozilla.com for the download. Most extensions and
plugins have been upgraded, so there is no reason to wait. I've been
using 3.5 for a over a month and it is a lot faster, uses less
resources, and is more stable than previous releases.
If you're still stuck on Internet Explorer, do yourself a favor and
try Firefox now.

Elmer.

I too wondered about the text to speech functionality, perhaps this is a
push to get that back..

Of course, there are other disabilities then that could be disadvantaged...
