Woohoo – finally my Instant Buzz toolbar seems to work OK in Firefox (yeah – it is really version 2.0 already!). ‘Seems to’ because Firefox is sometimes behaving a little strange and I have not figured out yet, if it is a bug in the brandnew version 2.0 or if it is still something with the IB toolbar – it has shown me sort of its rough edges so far… We’ll see and keep watching…
Anyways, you can go and download the tuned IB Firefox plugin – not right here though, as I don’t want to infringe anyone’s legal interest’s – certainly not those of Instant Buzz and Mike Filsaime…
1) The plugin is only interesting if you are an InstantBuzz user anyway, so I have posted the link in the Community-Forum. So just go there…
2) do a search for ‘Firefox 2.0 Plugin’ and you will (hopefully) find my post with the download-link.
3) download and unzip and then drag and drop the .xpi into the open Add-ons window in Firefox. That should be it.
If it does not work (quite yet), then go check your firewall security settings (hint: if IB works in IE, then this is OK); still another cause could be some temporary IB files that still linger somewhere on your PC. There is good information about how to tackle this one: go to the Community – Peer to Peer Help Forum and do a search for ‘Loading…’
Have fun 
P.S. A little tidbit: IB does not load any ads and shows ‘Loading…’, if there are temporary (buzzxxx.htm) files present. You can prevent this if you go to Options/Settings/Privacy and then click ‘Delete private data when exiting …’ (I hope that this is the right wording as I am not using FF with the English interface language – maybe some comments…) That should do it.
update: Instant buzz people probably did not linke my contribution 
and they have not updated their firefox toolbar either. that’s why I have discarded using it – works just as well…

My personal tip
For all of you out there who are already beyond a standard website:
My personal favorite for making and updating (i.e. grooming) of Google-sitemaps: GSiteCrawler by SOFTplus – you can find it at http://johannesmueller.com/gs/. A comprehensive and useful tool, which can attend to Google sitemaps for several websites by organising them into projects. In ‘automatic’ operation the tool does everything unattended, crawls pages, updates the sitemap, uploads it to your website and pings Google when all changes are finished. Excellent – and does not cost a dime
For those of you looking for an affordable script for your member-site administration, take a look at MembershipSiteManager. This php-script automates member administration, payments and access control of member-areas of your website. The script is not encrypted, and installation is supported by detailed instructions – however it is not for newbies; you should have a little webmaster know-how to start with.
