What, Firefox? And something potentially fun, too.

zimenaSo, what on earth is wrong with the new version of Firefox? It updated the other day, and since then it has been unable to keep my settings and extensions on from one session to the next. As in: If I exit the browser, all extensions are turned off, all bookmarks are gone, and basically it just starts with a "blank" browser each time. If I log in to Firefox Sync, everything comes back, but even that logs me out as soon as I exit.
Surely it's not supposed to work this way? For now I'm just not in the mood to fiddle with it, though, so I'm back on Chrome for the time being - even though I don't particularly like Chrome, it at least keeps my configurations in sync and on, even if I happen to exit it sometimes.
What else? Yes, I found a couple of tools which allow me to set up my own keyboard shortcuts, system-wide. And better: Someone already made a downloadable package of cool shortcuts and tools, so I'm planning to explore that some more. The most important bit here is that this should allow for Vim-style movement, system-wide. I already have something like that with the Vimium browser extension, but of course that only works in browser windows. (Why this matters, suddenly? Because the mouse for mom's computer is really annoying to use, so I went looking for ways to use the mouse as little as possible the last time I was at hers. I found this solution). There is a lot to learn here, too, though, so I'm looking forward to getting into it some more.
