Now that the Firefox 3.6 beta is available for download (portable version is here), it’s time to start updating the Better Firefox extensions. The most popular ones, Better Gmail 2 and Better GReader, are already 3.6-compatible; the rest will come in the next few weeks. As always, join the Google Group to ask questions or make comments about the Better Firefox extensions.
The latest version of the Better GReader Firefox extension for Google Reader now includes the gorgeous Helvetireader skin thanks to the generosity of Jon Hicks. Version 0.8 also includes the Smart Google Subscriber script as a newer alternative to Mihai Parparita’s 2006 Smart Subscribe, plus several updates. Download Better GReader 0.8 from Mozilla Add-ons.
If you’re souping up Google Reader with our Better GReader Firefox extension, download today’s latest update—which fixes the excellent Minimalistic skin, that toggles Readers’s top bar with a key press.
All platforms with Firefox: Just uploaded updates to three Better XXX extensions, which added secure updates and Firefox 3 Beta 4 support, plus a few other goodies. Go get the latest version of Better Gmail 2, Better YouTube (now with YouTube Canada support!), and Better GReader (now with a working Minimalistic skin!) from their homepages, or current users can just hit the “Update” button in Firefox’s Add-ons dialog. Thanks for your patience, Firefox 3 beta testers.
