Firefox Google search plugin and locale redirection

Because the work that I produce is more often than not created primarily for a U.S. audience, I find it distinctly annoying that google.com redirects my searches via the Firefox Google search plugin to google.ca. While this redirection is intended to be helpful, it often slips my mind that the SERPs are being generated from […]

Firefox upgrade test

This is just a test. I've upgraded to Firefox 1.5.0.1 and I'm just confirming that my WYSIWYG plugin for WordPress works with this browser.
