Firefox 29

Image
Sunrise Purple Fields https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sunrise-purple-fields/   I just updated my Firefox to 29 and it is really different. I lost several features I used and am hoping I can get them back. Some of the themes don't look near as nice with 29 and some look fine. Just thought I would make a quick post and let you know it is available for updating now.  Looks like the Pacific Northwest is going to have some really nice weather this week.  More later after I figure out how to make some changes to Firefox.  

Spring Sunshine

Cherry Blossoms Pink https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cherri_blsms_pink/   Today is a beautiful spring day in Northwest Washington. Yesterday we broke the record for rain in one day. As my Mother used to say, "If you don't like the weather here, wait a few mintues and it will change!" And my Mother was always right! Speaking of Mothers, I decided to have my blog in pink Motherly colors for next months holiday, Mothers Day. Hope you like it.  My Mom has been gone for 12 years now and I still miss her. Well, we looked at washing machines this week and I was totally shocked at how expensive they are now. And they tell us they don't do as good at getting your laundry clean as the old ones! They took the phosphates out of detergents, which I know there was a reason for but that was what got the wash clean! And now the washers don't clean as good. Plus we had to argue with the salesman about not wanting a front load machine! He wante...

Another Rainy Spring Day

Spring Bee https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/spring_b/   Our beautiful sunshine is gone for awhile. We really enjoy it when it is here, though. Well, I have more information on the future of themes for Firefox. They will still be available. The look will be different but we can continue to customize our computers.  I wanted to tell you about one of my favorite add-ons for Mozilla Firefox. It is called MozBackup. You can find it at:  http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ If you get a new computer or just want to back up your Firefox, you use the program to back up Firefox or Thunderbird on a thumb drive. So when you put Firefox in your new computer you take the thumb drive and install Firefox and Thunderbird so all of your settings, bookmarks, etc. are there. I back mine up every once in awhile just in case the computer crashes. I have bookmarks I don't want to lose, etc.  Enough Mozilla talk.  One of our neighbors has goats. The...

Wondering about Firefox?

Image
Gold Finch in Golden Garden https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gold-finch-in-golden-garden/ I was reading on the forum today about a new version of Firefox. I keep my version up to date because it makes it much safer for browsing. But I was checking out Firefox 29 Australis. I am thinking it may not be compatable with Persona themes. I don't know for sure but from what I have read they are trying to make Firefox look and feel like Chrome. If I wanted to use Chrome I would so I am not very happy about the changes. BUT I don't know for sure if there will be Firefox 29 that is like what we have now, or if this new Firefox Australis is what we HAVE to use. I kind of doubt they will have 2 different versions because that would not be cost effective for Mozilla. I posted a question on the forum about this so I will post on my blog when I get an answer. What will I do if I can't make Persona themes? I really don't want to learn how to make a whole dif...

Desktop Wallpapers for G Mail Background

Pansies so Sweet https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pansies-so-soft/ Thought I would stop in and let you know you can use any of my desktop wallpapers for your GMail backgrounds. They work great. I personally like a darker background so I choose one that has a darker background.     I am still working on Firefox themes but it doesn't seem like they are bring used as much as they used to be. I would love some thoughts on that.   Our oldest great grandson is coming for a visit tomorrow and we are looking forward to that. We don't get to see him as often as we used to since he doesn't live as close. I hope it is sunshiny so we can be outside. It is spring break and he will be up to visit his grandparents. He loves it when he can be out in the country at their house.  Our daughter in law is bringing him over tomorrow. He loves chocolate doughnuts so we picked some up this morning.   Have a great week end.     ...

Re-Do

Found a new blog design place called Plumrose Lane, so am using one of the spring designs.  I hope this blog design site keeps it up so bloggers can continue to use it. I used to use ScappinBlogs but they discontinued their site.  Hope you like the new design.

Owls For Easter https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/owsls-for-easter/   Today is a bright sunny Wednsday and I have some laundry out on the line. I know WA state and am afraid to put all if it out in the spring! I tried something new this morning when I did laundry. My granddaughter told me she was making her own laundry detergent so I thought I would give it a try. We bought all the ingredients Saturday when we did our shopping and I made it that afternoon. There are only 3 ingredients and water in it and they are all very inexpensive. I will put the link in for anyone that wants to or needs to save money. You can find the recipe, etc. at: http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/laundrysoap.htm . It just costs penny's to use. I have heard that most laundry detergents are water and they are! My husband does a lot of mechanic work so gets some really grubby clothes and I haven't tried it on them yet, so am hoping! Today everything I washed came out nice and clean....
