This is a Fennec fox.

I got some great feedback after I updated URL Fixer to be compatible with Fennec, Mozilla's mobile browser, and I'm happy to announce that I've been able to add Fennec compatibility to four more add-ons:

• TwitterBar: Post to Twitter from Firefox's address bar
• AutoAuth: Automatically submits authentication dialogs
• YouTube Comment Snob (still in the sandbox): Filter out lame comments on YouTube
• Slashdotter (still in the sandbox): Adds features to the Slashdot website

So far, I've found it pretty easy to port add-ons to Fennec, with the following caveats:

• You can't install add-ons in Fennec by opening them from your computer; I wrote a script to copy the add-on directly into the Fennec profile, much like an add-on IV drip - straight into the bloodstream!
• There's no easy access to the error console , but you can open it manually if you grab the address from Firefox.
• No DOM Inspector. For now, just browse the source.

It seems that all of these issues could be solved with a "Fennec Add-on Development" extension; maybe that will be my next project, unless easier solutions already exist.

For the low, low price of $189,900, you could own this piece of Web software history:

This is the very building where I worked on such projects as Slashdotter, Netscape Navigator 9, OPML Support for Firefox, ScribeFire, the Digg Top Users list, and most recently, Twits Like Me. If you act now, I'll even throw in the very desk that I sit at while I work my programming magic. Deals like this don't come along every day, especially when you consider that I was named as Time Magazine's 2006 Man of the Year!

This introductory pricing won't last long, so you'd better hurry up and make an offer.

I've updated Slashdotter to accommodate the changes that Slashdot made to their HTML. Thanks to all who brought bugs to my attention.

I've just updated all of my extensions to be compatible with Firefox 2.0. They're all available for download at my site, and they'll all eventually be available at Mozilla Addons as well. No new features for these updates, just compatibility fixes.

Slashdotter has been updated to fix a bug introduced in version 1.8.5. Comments that were condensed (i.e., only showing title, author, score) in threaded mode could not be retrieved via AJAX as Slashdotter was supposed to allow. That bug has been fixed, and the implementation has been made better than it was before it was broken.
