RefControl (for Firefox): Control HTTP Referer on a per-site basis
Control what gets sent as the HTTP Referer on a per-site basis. You create a list of sites, and the referrer that should be sent for each site. You can choose to send that referrer unconditionally or only for third-party requests.
I use it to get rid of goatse pictures thrown in my face when clicking on links pointing to certain sites from 3rd party link lists.

EFFI valistaa videotiedostomuodon valinnasta
EFFI suosittaa, että videosisältö tarjotaan Internet-käytössä standardimuodossa. Erityisesti huomautetaan, että Windows Media Videota tai Flash-videota ei tule tarjota ainoana vaihtoehtona. Viranomaisilla ja Yleisradiolla on lisäksi erityinen lakisääteinen velvollisuus huolehtia siitä, että heidän palvelunsa ovat käytettävissä mahdollisimman helposti mahdollisimman laajalle käyttäjäryhmälle.

Session management in Firefox
I’ve only just discovered that SessionSaver is considered one of the problematic extensions of Firefox, and the list recommends replacing it with Session Manager. Hopefully this’ll also solve the issue of half-eaten posts with WordPress, which I’ve also linked to SessionSaver.
I wonder if the session recovery feature mentioned in Release notes for Firefox 2.0 (which at this point is still only a
Release Candidate 2
) is based on either of these, or whether it is an independent implementation.Actually, I think I’m going to install RC2 right now.

Songbird 0.2 Screencast
I’ve mentioned Songbird before. They’ve recently released a public test version (
Test Flight
, as they call it) of an upcoming version 0.2 and I think it looks pretty cool in the accompanying demo screencast.
