I remembered awhile back that I had installed a plugin for the Steam forums that gave me a little menu item up at the top inbetween Tools and Help in Firefox that allowed easy navigation of the Steam forums. I thought about it for a bit and thought,

“Hey! Why not make one of those for the Ubuntu forums?”

Well thankfully someone else already has. I present to you, the Ubuntu Forums Menu for Firefox.  If you don’t have Firefox already, click the button below and install it today!

Install and then goto the Addons settings in Firefox. Click Preferences:

lol….what i meant was it`s been quite handy having the FF UF menu this last year or so.I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across it soon after discovering Ubuntu.

I only use a few FF plugins but thats certainly always one of them.

Use opera myself, and by setting up a custom search, I’m able to just type ‘uf my search string’ into the address bar and it will search ubuntuforums.org for ‘my search string’…

Opera Rocks!

Can anyone help an Ubuntu virgin pls?
I want to wipe my crappy XP Home OS from a 5yo PC and install Ubuntu and Firefox (I have an ASUS that runs Linux and love it).
Will my network still work:
BT Home Hub 2.0;
Netgear – RangeMax Wireless-N usb 2.0 Adaptor. WN111.
The ASUS talks happliy to the BT Hub.

I have a question and a pariial
answer, (but loooking for a
better answer). When I
go to sites like cnnsi.
Sometimes javascript menus
are supposed to overlay a
flash movie but in firefox
using linux the menu goes beneath.
This seems to be a bug in adobe
flash for linux which has existed
for years and they refuse to
fix. Also, firefox people seem
uninterested in a workaround
for the linux version (as far as
I can see). I finally found
a swfdec flash plugin made by
some other people (listed under
ubuntu 9.04 options for flash
plugin and this plugin doesn’t
seem to work very well but it does
have the redeeming feature that
it doesent start the flash movie
till you click on an arrow. Since
I don’t click on it, it doesn’t
play and I can see the javascript
menus just fine. If I do want
to see movie I can click on the
arrow or I can easily switch
back to the adobe flash plugin
under tools/manage content
plugins in firefox. That’s
the best I can do. Anybody
know a better solution.

Since its debut, CNN has expanded its reach to a number of cable and satellite television companies, several websites, and specialized closed-circuit channels (such as CNN Airport Network). The company has 36 bureaus (10 domestic, 26 international), more than 900 affiliated local stations, and several regional and foreign-language networks around the world. The channel’s success made a bona-fide mogul of founder Ted Turner and set the stage for the Time Warner conglomerate’s eventual acquisition of Turner Broadcasting.*
