I added Google SSL to my search plugins in Firefox. The XML file is below: <opensearchdescription xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/" xmlns:os="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/"> <shortname>Google SSL</shortname> <description>Google SSL</description> <inputencoding>UTF-8</inputencoding> <image width="16" height="16">data:image/png;base64,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</image> <url type="text/html" method="GET" template="https://www.google.com/search"> <param name="hl" value="en"/> <param name="source" value="hp"/> <param name="q" value="{searchTerms}"/> <param name="btnG" value="Google+Search"/> </url> <moz :SearchForm>https://www.google.com/</moz> </opensearchdescription> I’ll host it later for a one-click install.

I finally have Chromium on Fedora 11, thanks to Fedora developer, Tom “spot” Callaway‘s dev repo.

My launcher specifies the following: –enable-plugins –enable-user-scripts –enable-extensions so this build now supports plugins (it [...]

About the same time as I upgraded Coredump to WordPress 2.7, I also got the Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 update. I haven’t gotten around to trying out all the new features, but they look promising. Well, some may seem old news if you’re already using Google Chrome, but they’re good news nevertheless. First off, the [...]
