ScribeFire on Firefox

Scribefire on Firefox is different than on Chrome.  At least the version I installed is.  Weird.  On Chrome at home it opens a new tab.  On Firefox it divides the screen in half horizontally and puts the app in the bottom half. 

Who is the genius who came up with this campaign?

I don’t really like it this way.  All of the same information is here, but it’s just chopped in half.  I shouldn’t need a scroll bar, and I shouldn’t lose half of whatever page I was on.

It’s okay though.  The quest for cool Chrome add on s continues, and if I find super cool add ons I’ll look for Firefox versions as well.

It’s a brave new world we live in.  Embrace it.

Chrome Add Ons

The company I work for uses Google Apps.  Gmail, mostly, but also Drive, Sites, and Hangouts.  Hangouts default to opening a sub window above your gmail window.  That is a little annoying as you only get a notification in the task bar.  If you have another tab on top, you don’t know some one is sending you a message.  Someone at work suggested using a Chrome Add On that pulls Hangouts into it’s own window, which also pops up when you get a message.  Win, thinks me.

Since then I have been all about extending Chrome.  I put the Hangouts app on my home computer as well as work.  I’ve also got a download helper, and a Gmail notifier.  Cool.  I have now set to finding anything else that might be even the slightest bit cool.  Forexample, I am writing this post using an Add On called ScribeFire.  It’s pretty cool.  I am also hoping to go all crazy on greasemonkey scripts that will extend Flickr.

I’ll let you know how it all works out.
