I have installed Firefox with ScribeFire on both my back office computer and my wife’s laptop which I occasionally use on weekends at night. I have been adapting to the use of scribefire text editior in conjunction with a private blog as a type of intranet storage device for non-critical information. So if I post something there (in the private blog using scribefire) then I can see it from wherever I am.
This new adaptation seems to be advancing the way I can process business information from throughout my environments.
The prospect of using this powerful little tool (ScribeFire a text-editor for blogging that works within the Firefox browser) has again switched me from IE to FireFox. The last time I switched was because on a previous Firefox install on my front desk computer, it encouraged me to put on a lot of add-ons. The result was that by the time the install was done, the browser looked too busy for me to understand what was going on and the environment was distracting.
So since I had taken a lot of time during the Firefox install to choose those Firefox Add-ons, and as a result I wanted to check them out before dumping them, when I got too busy to learn the Add-Ons, I simply skipped the task altogether and just ignored the whole Firefox environment in favor of Internet Explorer.
So now when I set at the front desk computer and want to use Scribefire with Firefox I am again confronted with this particularly Add-on intensive install of Firefox. So I’ve taken a bit of time to poke around in these Add-Ons that I’ve been carrying all these months and see if I can get a basic grasp on any of them.
One was a utilty called Scrapbook which was a supposed aid to saving webpages and seemed to be able to save the page in a modified state. I dumped this Add-On for now.
Yourminis seems to be similar to yahoo widgets and or vista’s dashboard except for inside the firefox browser and a bit different in immediate presentation.
Greasemonkey seems to be a way to trigger a sequence of actions inside the browser as a script, but I’m not sure.
Gspace is a utility to use your email space as a data storage device.
Foxmarks is to save all your bookmarks where they can be found on the internet.
There are many other Add-Ons but I’ll pick up on that topic later
