My new favorite Firefox extension is "Firefox Environment Backup Extension" or FEBE. My work machine, still a desktop, is my most finely tuned box. My home machine is always lagging behind in Firefox (and Emacs) updates. I have often wished for something like FEBE and now its here. FEBE allows you to export all your Firefox extensions and settings and import them into another computer. A nice addition to the thousands of Firefox extensions.
I'm sure Internet Explorer 8 has something similar since the latest Microsoft sponsored browser "Get The Facts" report gives IE8 and Firefox both a check for customizability. (Can somebody tell me why the delicious tags on Microsoft's "Get The Facts For Browsers" page are "funny" and "humor"?)
I'm blogging about programming, but ... hey look over there - it's something shiny!

Watir Tip
I ran into a problem using Watir - it could not find a frame that is really on the page. I got this error:
Oddly enough the problem was with my Internet Explorer security settings. Adding the domain to my "trusted sites" ("Tools/Internet Options.../Security/Trusted sites/Sites.../Add") did the trick.
c:/opt/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.2/./watir.rb:2664:in `locate':
Unable to locate a frame with name frmeLHS (Watir::Exception::UnknownFrame Exception)
