First the links:

Download latest Extension version: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Ubiquity/ ... ng_Stream)
Ubiquity is an experimental Firefox extension that has lots of potential to change the way people use the Web. I won't bore you with any more but have a read of the first link and make sure you watch the video.
That really sold the concept for me.
You'll need to copy/paste the download link, clicking it won't work.
p.s - The XPI says the minimum version has to be Firefox 3.0 so presumably it doesn't work with older versions, it may not have been tested though.
Ubiquity - Firefox Power Users read on!

Links worked fine when I just clicked it. Must be because I use a crappy browser like Avant instead of some brilliant Firefox browser(!)
Anyway, it looks pretty cool and handy. If I had friends and I enjoyed emailing them about stuff, this would really come in handy. The map-stuff is great. Just do a 'map these' and immediately a map pops up with the locations
Great stuff.

Huh? Why wouldn't they work?Yi-Long wrote:Links worked fine when I just clicked it.
It's a Firefox extension. Reports seem to suggest Internet Explorer 8 will have something similar, which means Avant will too (probably). Given that it's not really a browser but an IE front end.Yi-Long wrote:Must be because I use a crappy browser like Avant instead of some brilliant Firefox browser(!)
It has other potential too. I've added a Yellow Pages one for instance. I presume you guys have Yellow Pages?Yi-Long wrote:Anyway, it looks pretty cool and handy.

Annoyingly the e-mail one only works with Google Mail and only Google Mail via it's Webmail interface, which discounts anyone that uses Outlook, Thunderbird etc... It's a pity as that one shows the most potential but it's useless to me

Yes (oh that). Avant may handle it differently but Firefox and IE get confused with brackets in links and don't display them properly when pasted in forum threads.
In fact I'm sure it's a Bullets engine problem so I doubt it will work in Avant either. Did you just click on the second link Yi? You'll see if you open this thread in IE only part of it is highlighted as a link. As soon as a bracket is found in a link the link stops, so clicking on it, you in fact get:

You will see above that's only part of the link.
p.s - Thanks btw.
