Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Peers soups up the Firefox search bar (like Inquisitor for Safari)
Peers is a Firefox extension that saves you one click by showing search results as you type. Just select your search engine of choice and Peers will provide a drop-down list with clickable search results as you enter your query.
The browser plugin does for Firefox much of what Inquisitor does or Safari.
If you want to install peers on Firefox 3, you'll need to disable extension compatibility checking, which is easy to do, but can cause some problems if you're not careful. We can confirm that Peers works fine with Firefox 3 RC 1. But trying other extensions that are not designed for your version of Firefox can break your browser.

How did you actually install it in FF3RC1?
I followed the how-to for disabling compatibility checking, and I even have "Nightly Tester Tools" installed, but this still doesn't fix one problem with installing it: actually installing it! Going to the extensions page on the Firefox addons website, the "Install Now" button is disabled, with text above it saying "This addon is for older versions of Firefox".
So how do you install it?

If you visit the download page with Internet Explorer or another non-FF web browser, you have the option of simply downloading the XPI file to your desktop. You can then drag and drop it to Firefox to install it.

This looks like it was ripped right out of Flock...seriously. Anyone know if these guys provide that functionality for Flock as well? Or they just look exactly alike on purpose?

It sometimes redirects you to advertisement pages. That's unacceptable.
