[dba-Tech] Firefox has a new feature

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Dan:

I guess it depends from where you are comparing your data. The FF plugin is for closely comparing two browser tabs. I, myself may not use this feature often but there are times when it will prove very useful. No builder or developer can ever have too many tools. ;-)

I'm a little puzzled.  Starting with W7, you can place windows side by side on a monitor just by grabbing the title bar of the window and moving it to the side of the monitor.  Is this new feature better than that?

I for one, am thrilled to see it. I tried it out just after Jim posted about
it. For genealogy purpose, I sometimes have to compare the info on one site
to another and this makes it lots easier to compare. I won't use it all the
time, but it's nice to have the ability when I need it.
