The Next-Generation Research Tool Someone emailed me about this – I suspect in relation to the comments I made about WorldCat recently. It looks to be very useful – apart from the fact it only seems to work with Firefox 2.0 – which is in beta. I’ve installed it on my laptop – and intend to have a play over the next couple of weeks. One slight problem was that though I put it in a different directory to Firefox 1.5, they seem to be using the same profile, and not all of the 1.5 extensions that I have work with 2, so, starting 2 I get a list of 1.5 extensions that don’t work, starting 1.5 I get the information that zotero doesn’t work. Hopefully it won’t take long for the other extensions to be updated.

You can use the Nightly Tester Tools to trick 2.0 into using many of the 1.5 extensions. You can also create a second profile or use Firefox Portable to keep your profiles partitioned.
Thanks … I might try that – I’ve got a couple of extensions that I use for teaching (e.g. Accessibar ) – and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to demonstrate them, if I just have the newer version.
