Not much can be said on Firefox 3.5.5 stability update. The release notes says Firefox 3.5.5 is a tiny update to “Fix several stability issues”. – nothing else, the changelog presents 5 bugs, 3 of which are considered critical. Ubuntu users still have to wait for updates via the Update Manager or grab Firefox 3.5.5 from the Mozilla website.

For Windows, Linux and Mac: “Facebook Dislike” is a pretty but useless Firefox add-on that adds a “Dislike” button to Facebook that does what it says; it lets you finally dislike those links you formerly had to dislike only with a comment. Facebook right now offers only the “Like” button so without this extension you can’t voice your disapproval with a click.
The downside of this plug-in is that the developer uses his own server to keep track of both the “disliker” and the disliked item. This means you and your Facebook contacts have to install this extension to be able to see the “thumb-down” figure besides the “disliker’s” Facebook user-name – to bad because this extension really fits-in.
Facebook Dislike extension is free download for all platforms with Firefox. Its still in the experimental phase, it might have bugs.

Last week the Chromium Linux Dev Channel updated adding the extensions manager in “Wrench” Menu.
Chromium 4.0.233.0 (Ubuntu build 30813) update adds a dis-activated ‘Sync my Bookmarks’ in the ‘Wrench’ menu – that means bookmark syncing in Chromium Linux without a plug-in is around the corner, it might be activated in the next update. Qui vivra verra.
A recent Chromium build for Windows update converts Greasemonkey user scripts into extensions. This feature still has to make its way into Chromium builds for Linux.
