Default Nice little helpers

Hi all

Attached, you will find some nice tools that might help some of you.

The KML has many jewel hunting spots in it. It's sorted and the placemarks are set beside of the jewel location. You might add other cities and send them to me for updates.

In the ZIP file is a Firefox Search Extension for searching the download repository as quikly as possible. See Firefox documentation for help...

Finally, I made a bookmarklet for entering all values on the convertion page. Maybe you like it as much as I do
It works very simple. If you have some jewels then select the text from "Jewels" untill "Diamonds to convert" and run it. If you have no jewels at the moment just select the text from "Oil" untill "Diamonds to convert" and run the one titled "without Jewels". After filling all input fields with its values there comes an alert window "done". You could remove that one, but then the page always displays the amount of jewels and you need to press the back button...

Enjoy!

Of course you can do that. Unfortunately, I can't upload it to the official Firefox repository as they have some difficulties at the moment. If you publish it, you should change the update location in it to wherever you will make it available.

Thanks for the beer, but I would prefer some good smoke.

bueth, as far as a browser is concerned, how does Firefox compare to other browsers. Checking it out on the web does not give me the same information as someone whom uses it.

Currently I use a browser that is supplied by my isp (Rogers). It has tabs as well.
