The Bigger Picture

Our every day situation is intrinsically tied into the workings of an economy that is now massively connected to the wider world. The majority of people have no real idea how economies work - and the effects that ripple outwards from all the decisions that happen around them. Nor are most of them likely to start taking an interest if they don't have a basic grounding in the first place.

Firefox 3.6

Installed it, it certainly seems faster - particularly the Address Bar, which brings up suggestions a lot quicker.

Only had two problems with addons - Deepest Sender and SubmitToTab are not compatible with 3.6 yet. IETab has been replaced by Coral IE Tab which includes Adblock support, which is nice. Oh, and I got rid of HideMenuBar, as that functionality is now built in (right click on the menu bar and untick it - it comes back when you press alt).

I can live without Deepest Sender (but would appreciate knowing if there's another FF addon that does lj updates) - but I really miss being able to submit forms to a new tab - so if anyone knows of an alternate addon then let me know!
