Re: [PLUG] firefox and "send page"


I also miss the send, but I miss the "Send a link to the desktop"
-------------------------
Ah, the "Send page by email..." option only appears when I right-click
on a Web page.  Also, it works independent of my email program.  The
downside of that is that it must be fully configured before it will
work, including an install of "sendEmail".  The default encoding is
"Chinese Simplified (GB2312)" which I changed to UTF-8.  Also, I had to
look up the port number to enter.  I usually use port 995 for SSL.  I
don't know if the extension supports SSL, so I set it to port 110.

Overall, too much trouble!  I think sending a link is fine!

Jeff,
Chances are, if something bothers you about firefox, someone has already
written an extension to fix it. And for just about every other feature you
never thought of. You might also want to check out adblock and forecastfox

I recently upgraded from mozilla version something or other (Version:
2:1.7.8-1sarge2) to firefox.

Notably absent is "send page".  I haven't been able to find any
rational for this on the web, only a few other complaints about its
absence.  Anyone know the story, or if there's a way to get it back?
