I also found a posting on the One Note blog about this. Go figure, a Microsoft man giving advice on how to spruce up the competition! http://blogs.msdn.com/descapa/archive/2006/07/24/677045.aspx

IMPORTANT: Do NOT modify Firefox per the page pointed to above if you are using WordPress. I modded FF 3 days ago and had 3 days of hell with my blog. Took me that long to catch on it was the FF mods doing it!

jk, glad you like Grab and Drag. I believe I’ve finally fixed the issue of the non-sticky toggle icon in Grab and Drag 2.0.5, which is now available at: http://grabanddrag.mozdev.org
Also, as Sumocat says, adding the icon manually via the Customize menu will definitely make it sticky, too.

Also instead of Super Drag & Go I highly recommend Drag De Go, which is way more customizable:

I've been using Firefox for years and I strongly recommend the scrapbook extension.In my view it's the 2nd best one, just after the already mentioned Tab Mix Plus.

JK, I'm glad you are enjoying FF. I'm not sure whether it was mentioned before but try "Super GrabAndGo" extension. For me it's a must have for tablet pc to rally enjoy tab browsing.
"Super GrabAndGo" basically opens a link or text-link in a new tab when you just flick or drag a link with a stylus.
So in my case when I'm going through google reader, I just flick the title of what interests me to open in a new tab in the background and finish looking at the list. And when done going through the list, I simple go through the tabs.

Oh man. Just did all those Speedup FF steps. What a trip. Have to get off PC for today. Will report back when I bang the hell out of it tomorrow. Thanks.

I haven't used it, but there is a Clip to OneNote extension. Might not be compatible with Vista or ON 2007 (or FF 2.0 for that matter, might have been abandoned).

You can also print to OneNote, per this lengthy discussion at GBM.

I've stuck with IE7 because of the "add to Onenote" button. I am assuming Firefox can't do that. Am I wrong?

Do you know you can speed up firefox's browsing speed with a few about:config edits? Here is a good page (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=3704f30b1a5b66fd8fc86c55a2e69143&t=179540&highlight=speed) There are loads of pages like that. Just google for it. Also check out Tab Mix Plus.

Sorry, been reading your post between tasks at work. Just noticed you have an issue with the G&D icon/button. Mine doesn't do this and I think it's because I placed the button by customizing the toolbar. Right-click on the navigation toolbar and in the list of buttons you should see the G&D button, which you can drag to wherever you want on the nav toolbar. Should stick then, although it will be in the toolbar instead of the lower right corner, which I think is the default.

If you don't having the toolbar (you don't need it thanks to gestures and Vista flicks, but I like the copy and paste buttons), I recommend keeping it but using a gesture to toggle between normal view and full screen (I use RDLU; forward circle makes sense to me). I have plenty of screen space, but full screen would probably be helpful on Miyagi.

Mike.. Yes, Maxthon will work on your desktop. As far as extensions goes, Maxthon has many amny different plug-ins so I'd bet whatever you use in FireFox can be done in Maxthon.
