Add Enhanced Balloon Tooltips to Firefox
Mar/100
The default balloon tooltip in Firefox does well at times but then there are instances when a person finds that more information would be much better. The Tooltip Plus extension for Firefox will give your browser that nice extra information boost.
Before & After
For our example we have placed the “before & after shots” together for better comparison. First off we started with the How-To Geek logo.
Note: Does not display the original URL behind shortened URLs.
Next we moved on to a permanently linked article title.
The “Reviews Tab” in the How-To Geek website toolbar.
The article tags listing just beneath the HTG website toolbar.
And the link for subscribing to our RSS Feed. In each instance you could actually see the address behind the links.
The Tooltip Plus extension will also help out with images in webpages (including “Alt Text” if present). Notice that the link for the image is now available for you to view.
Options
The options are extremely simple to work with. Decide if you want a document icon to display, the size of the icon, and if you would like “Alt Text” for images to be displayed or not.
Conclusion
The Tooltip Plus extension does one thing and does it very well…it gives you that extra bit of information when you need it.

Test and Report Add-on Compatibility in Firefox
Mar/100
Now that the new version of Firefox is out you probably have a favorite extension or two that has not updated yet. You can get that extension working again, test it, and report back to Mozilla on how well it does with the Add-on Compatibility Reporter extension.
Before
For our example we chose a great extension that unfortunately has not been updated yet. As you can see here Firefox is refusing to let the extension install.
After
As soon as you install Add-on Compatibility Reporter you will be presented with an information page on how the extension works and what you can do with it. You should definitely take a moment to read this as it is very helpful.
After trying our non-compatible extension again we were able to proceed with the install process. Notice at the bottom that “compatibility checking” has been overridden.
Success!
As soon as we restarted our browser it was easy to see the “non-compatible icon” in the “Add-ons Manager Window”…but the extension did install though (terrific!).
Clicking on the extension’s entry will reveal a new button in the lower right corner. Using the “Compatibility Drop-Down Menu” you can report if the extension is working as well as before or if it is actually having problems. The extension that we used for our example had no problems whatsoever so good news there.
Whichever option you choose you will be presented with a small “Report Window” with information about the extension, your browser’s version number, and your operating system. Click “Submit Report” to send it on its’ way.
You will see a confirmation message letting you know that your report was successfully submitted.
While the extension itself has not been altered in any form at least you have it working again and have helped verify whether it still works well or not. Notice the “notation” present now in place of the “Compatibility Button” that lets you know that you have already taken care of that particular extension.
Looking great…
Conclusion
If you have a favorite extension that you miss using in the newest release of Firefox then this is definitely an extension to add to your browser. Not only will your extension start working again but you can let Mozilla know how well it is working and (hopefully) help get the extension updated.

XNA Game Studio 4.0 includes Windows Phone support
Mar/100
Microsoft took yet another step today in convincing us that Windows Phone 7 will be a legitimate gaming platform. The company just unveiled XNA Game Studio 4.0, which, in addition to supporting PC and Xbox 360, will also let designers make games for the new mobile platform. Besides being great news for indies, it also means that you’ll be able to use your gamertag and Avatar on the phone, as well as unlock Xbox Live Achievements.
You can read more about the technical integration of XNA and WP7 on Microsoft program manager Michael Klucher’s blog. Hopefully we’ll have even more details for you as the tech is rolled out during GDC.
