why i <3 Firefox

[ironymaiden]

my favorite thing about Firefox is the dropdown box of search engines. i was looking for some information to write a glossary term today, and what with this and that, i found (hope the link works)Yahoo Oxford Shakespeare! my little test with "cry havoc" got me four citations, not just Julius Caesar. Google Maps and the Wikipedia/Google combo will probably be more useful, but Shakespeare quotes at my fingertips is delightful.

what were the other citations?

[ironymaiden]

Coriolanus, Act III, Scene I, line 343
Men. Do not cry havoc, where you should but hunt

The Life and Death of King John, Act II, Scene I, line 371
Cry havoc!' kings; back to the stained field,

Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, Act V, Scene II, line 310
Fort. This quarry cries on havoc. O proud death!

way cool. I use IE at work (kind of have to, considering I'm in Redmond at a rather large software company...), but we've switched to Firefox at home. Didn't know about that capability.

BTW, are you and C going to NASFic?

[ironymaiden]

hmm, i know at least one other person at that company that uses Firefox on the office machine. there's some stuff i do at work that requires IE, so it's installed for when i need it.
other available engines include IMDB and Urban Dictionary, as well as Uncyclopedia.

are you and C going to NASFic?
that's the plan, although we haven't purchased our memberships yet :/

the wikipedia search is great, and i like having the mathworld one around too. and of course imdb.

My faves have become answers.com (for general start-up research) and clusty.com (for browsing with some logic to it, unlike google).

Thank the gods my coworker introduced me to Firefox, or else I'd still be working with the horrific Mac standard Safari interface/browser. Ugh.
