Ubiquity is a very popular Firefox extension that adds a flexible natural language command line to Firefox, and is developed by the folks at Mozilla. It's now out in a more useful new version, with a sleeker look, a more stable core, and the ability to create good looking skins. If you're familiar with using the Awesome Bar in Firefox, you'll take to Ubiquity quickly, although it pays to spend a little time learning how its commands work. Here's a peek at the new version.
When this first came out, it was only partially functional on Linux - supposedly and disturbingly (if I remember correctly) because the developers couldn't decide on a 'standard' way to have low-level control of some sort of pop-up window function. (If I wanted my browser to start putting roots down deeper into my OS I'd be using IE, thank you...)
I've been wondering if the re-release is properly functional yet on Linux. Anybody know?
I just installed it and it works fine. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is transparency on the ubiquity window, but they're working on it. Seems to have something to do with Gecko on Linux.
