Growl integration in Firefox 3

Some of the latest Firefox 3 aka Minefield trunk builds include Growl integration! This is probably a non-event for anyone other than Mac users, but hey Growl notifications without needing to install an extension? Pretty nice.

Firefox 3 Growl notification for downloads

Get a nightly here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

To test Firefox 3 nightlies without possibly messing up your existing profile (preferences, extensions, what have you), use the Profile Manager to create a new profile just for testing. Way less stupid then trying to load up 48 tabs from your current profile in Firefox 3 and then seeing most of the extensions fail to work (which was what I tried to do, once).

Nice! I like the whole “unified notification system” idea behind Growl. As of now, the best Growl integration I’ve seen is in PandoraBoy (unfortunately it is of no use anymore…too bad!).

You rock my socks. Thanks for the heads up. I’m a sucker for anything with Growl integration.

[…] there are some features which are extra cool. The visual integration with the platform and the support for Growl notifications is the two things that initially caught my attention. Nice. […]
