Hi Guys,
My nephew who lives in the U.S. (he is 24 and was born there) is a programmer for Mozilla - he was on a visit here recently with his family (my Brother) and he loaded up FireFox browser for me. So being adventureous I've waited 6 weeks to finally try it and am super impressed. I am like Big Kev - I am excited.
Is anyone else using it, I expect there must be a few. It leaves IE8 looking like it came out of the stone age. It has some eXcellent SEO analysis features in some free add ons (like SEOQuake and INFO (WMinfo) that in my humble opinion are better in many respects than Google Webmaster Tools, or at least are a great addition to it.
Yes I know, it's about time I saw the light - I've been walking around with my eyes closed right?
Without badgering my Nephew if you have any browser issues let me know and I'll see if I can get some answers.
By the way - for those that partcipated in my previous thread about rankings and site residency. Interestingly FireFox Google search is using the U.S. Google search engine, so in respect to getting info on rankings of a dot com site "as if I was in the U.S. it seems that Mozilla Firefox gives me that from here - there is no "au" in the address in the address bar as there is with Google (even when you delete the .au after .com there is still AU further up in the longtail address but not so in Firefox. The Adwords are predominantly Australian so it knows we are AU based but doesn't give preference to au results - it probably would if you asked it to search AU pages only.
So anyway I find it most useful (ranking stats G, Y, B and A, link finding / validating tools, keyword tools etc all on the browser bar).
SEOQuake is great - all the stats you need for competitor sites at your finger tips.
Another great tool is a Blog search tool that returns results in real time for sites / forums that have added a "follow link" app that obviates the standard no follow of most of the blog setups like blogspot-hubpages- etc. Good for getting backlinks from similar topic / content sites (not high ranking but at least with a relevance factor).
Anyway - thats it from me and thats it from him.
