Limit-Studios Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 i'll try but its going to be tricky as i have never had a notification built into the toolbar. If you can find a firefox toolbar that has this PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limit-Studios Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 Added Update System (So when you get it for BETA you can just update to each BETA through Firefox's update system). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limit-Studios Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 The BETA will be up at 12PM UK time. It won't have the search as it seems to be causing a few problems and will be fixed for the next BETA. Which may be late tonight depending on the amount of bugs found or features wanted.
