New Tablet PC extensions for Firefox

Posted by Olga Kits under Tablet PC Software

Two great new Tablet PC utilities for Firefox have just been released or updated:

1. The GeckoTIP extension, developed by Ian Weiner (thanks Ian), provides Tablet PC Input Panel support in Firefox and Thunderbird. Previous versions tended to be somewhat unstable, though I am grateful for anyone (Jim Hurd) contributing these handy utilities.

Check it out and be careful to uninstall earlier versions before installing GeckoTIP:

2.  The Grab And Drag extension provides Adobe Acrobat-style grab and drag page scrolling with the mouse. It is an extension for Firefox and Thunderbird 1.0 and higher. Easy to disable when you need to grab some text! It’s a utility I have been wishing for. I would like it to work in MS Word as well.

Couldn't find your convert utility. Check that you have ImageMagick installed.
