So does the streamlined printing Firefox .xpi file work under Mac OS X?

Cite with references doesn’t work with FF very well, how does it work with other browsers?

I’ve always hated Westlaw’s small window pop-up. Because my firm is Westlaw only I use greasemonkey and a widely available script to force the popup to a new tab. Now I have an inconsistent interface, I don’t always remember which type of link I middle click or left click, but I’m glad be rid of the popup.

Hey Erik. Re-reading my post with the clarity of a good night’s sleep, I can see that it came across a little critical there at the end, which wasn’t my intention. Keep up the good work.

ps. I’m glad you liked my Mozy review – and thanks for the link. I have continued to use Mozy at home and will probably install it soon on my wife’s business computer.

Thanks for the link, Jeff. I thought about bringing the Firefox 3 beta into the review, but decided against it because I didn’t want to step into any “You included the FF beta, but not the X beta” arguments. But I think you’re right; I should have at least checked the FF 3 beta 4 against LexisNexis and Westlaw. Unfortunately I have a couple of papers to write, so I may not be able to do that for a while.

Cheers,
Erik
