2 Firefox extensions

Recently I saw a couple of posts on Download Squad (1, 2) that mentioned these Firefox extensions.  I have installed them, and they work pretty well

1. Fasterfox - This extension will help the perfermance of Firefox, by prefetching links and adjusting network settings.


2. ErrorZilla - This extension improves the Firefox error page with links to additional tools.  These may help track down the problem.

VirtueDesktops

One of the software packages included in MacLibre is VirtueDesktops.  This is a Mac OS X virtual desktop application that is based upon DesktopManager. It has some interesting features:

1. Bringing an application into focus, will automatically switch to that virtual desktop


2. Cool transitions when switching between virtual desktops

This doesn't resolve all of the issues that I mentioned before, but it has made it easier to use all of the applications that I usually have open at once.

MacLibre

I use yum on my linux machines to update various software packages.  yum makes it very easy to keep things up to date by automatically maintaining lists of dependent packages, and downloading and installing them when necessary.  On my mac, I have been using fink to update various posix and X11 Open Source software packages.

Now MacLibre has been released that will do the same thing for Mac OS X applications.  It already has a list of standard Open Source application like Firefox and ClamXav.  It will download and install theses packages with a standard package management interface.
