Google Toolbar on Ubuntu Hardy Heron

I love the Google Toolbar, because it allows me to use Google's bookmark service embedded to my browser. So I can use the toolbar on a Mac, Windows or Linux machine and have my bookmarks everywhere I am.
But with the cool new version 3 of my favorite browser Firefox the toolbar stopped working. Firefox crashed after installing (and disabling compatibility test in Firefox ;-)).
Now a new version is available and the Toolbar is back to my Firefox :-)
But on Ubuntu there is still a problem with the bookmarks. To fix it, just type the following into your terminal:

sudo apt-get install libxul-dev libstdc++5 gcc-4.2 libstdc++6

Than reinstall the toolbar, if you allready tried without success. Now your bookmarks should work even on Ubuntu :-)

Notes Conversation View

One of the many innovations, brought to me by Gmail, is the conversation view, what means, that mails with the same subject will be shown as a conversation and thus you will get all your mails for a conversation just by scrolling your window down.
With Lotus Notes 8 IBM brought this idea into Notes. It requires at least a Lotus Domino 8 Server and an update of your mail database to the Notes 8 template. Than you can activate it by selecting conversation from the show menu at the top right corner of your mail view.
After opening a mail, you can select conversation from the display menu on top of your mail. This brings a list of all mails, which belong to the same conversation, to the top of your mail and you can open them by double clicking it. This is not as comfortable and cool like in Gmail, but you'll get a quick way to open other mails from the conversation.
But one thing I don't understand is this conversation list. It has a fixed size. If you've got just one mail in your conversation, you'll have a big free area on top of your screen. That's not very efficient.
On my MacBook with this small wide screen it takes a lot space, like you can see:

Firebug and Firefox 3 Beta 5

After installing Firefox 3 beta 5 I had a lot of trouble with the Google Toolbar. After disabling the check for Extensions, Firefox didn't start anymore.
Now I fixed the problem by removing Google Toolbar, but an Add-on I really need is Firebug. For web development, there is no better tool for debugging your page.
Unfortunately the current version of Firebug doesn't support Firefox 3. But instead of the Google Toolbar it works after disabling compatibility check.
Or better it works pretty fine on my Mac and on a Windows XP machine, but it fails on my Ubuntu Hardy Heron machine, where Firefox 3 is the default browser.

Firebug on Firefox 3 RC1 (Mac OS X)

But thanks to Ubuntu team there is a great solution. You can install Firebug as a package from the Ubuntu repositories. This version of Firebug works great in Firefox 3 beta 5 in Ubuntu.
