I’ve liked Mozilla’s Site Navigation Bar since it was introduced, and a while ago found Chris “cdn” Neale’s NavButtons extension<\/a>. Since upgrading to Firefox 0.9, though, it hasn’t worked due to the new extension packaging format<\/a> introduced by Ben Goodger. A version of NavButtons for Firefox 0.9 seemed unlikely, since Neale prefers his Link Toolbar<\/a> (which, contrary to its name, sits in the status bar), so I decided to repackage it myself… and here’s the result<\/a>. I decided to continue on from the original version numbering, so this is version 0.4; there’s really nothing different, though, other than the internal layout of the files. (NB: I’ve e-mailed Chris to ask if he’ll accept the revised code, but for now it’s all my doing and should be considered unsupported by him.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Because I’ve had feedback from two people who have installed the extension and then not known what to do with it, here’s a slightly less short description. NavButtons adds several buttons into the Customize Toolbar<\/cite> palette that can be used to navigate to the previous, next, first, last and top<\/cite> entries, as well as up<\/cite> a level, in a collection of web pages linked together using (X)HTML’s link<\/samp> element<\/a>. For example, from this page you can quickly navigate to Going all the way<\/a> using the Previous button (the left arrow), Bad Apples<\/a> using the Next button (the right arrow), and the main blog page<\/a> using the Top button (the up arrow with a bar). (If I thought there were enough people coming by who would actually use it, I’d probably add an up<\/cite> link to the monthly entry index. But not tonight.)<\/ins><\/p><\/div>
