Deepest Sender - LJ client for Firefox

Nov 23, 2006 15:50


Deepest Sender, the Firefox (web browser) extension that is a blogging client for LJ (and several others) has been updated for Firefox 2.0. I guess it's time for me to switch, since that was the crucial extension that was keeping me on Firefox 1.5. The main thing Deepest Sender had been lacking for me (when compared with the Mac client XJournal) was a spelling checker. (It was possible, by installing some other software I didn't want to bother with.) But Firefox 2.0 has a spell checker built in, so I may not be using XJournal much henceforth. The big advantage of its being a browser extension is that it gives me a client to use on the Sun workstation on my desk at work, where neither Mac nor Windows clients are of any use. DS is also nice for going back to edit old postings. And it has a dynamite copy/paste if you want to share something from a web page.My crappy memory - LiveJournal Hook was the crucial extension that hadn't been updated for Firefox 2. (And FF2 now calls them "Add Ons" instead of extensions.) LJHook makes it easy to to use common HTML tags and LJ-specific tags on LJ's journal- and comment-entry pages. But it's been updated too now. (Hmm, getting the menu with LJH now requires a control-click instead of just a click, but that must be a change to Firefox itself.) I have 9 other extensions that are not supported, but the only one that's cramping my style is TabSwitcher.
