My favorite Firefox extensions part 1 - Sage

August 3rd, 2006 · No Comments

First you will need to download Firefox. A much safer browser than Internet Explorer. Firefox in some ways is not as powerful as IE, that’s what makes it safer. But in other ways it’s more useful. Firefox allows you to install extensions to customize and add functionality. There are a couple of web sites I need IE, for example Microsoft Update, but otherwise I use Firefox.
Sage is a RSS reader. RSS stand for “really simple syndication”. It’s a way to read the latest updates on a web page or blog. If you see an icon like these rss icon another rss icon the page has a RSS feed and can be added to your feeds (links) in the Sage reader.

Once you have installed Sage go to a page that has as a RSS feed and on the right side of the address bar in Firefox you will see this icon rss icon , click on it and choose to save the feed (link) in the Sage Feeds folder.

Now go to the tools menu and choose Sage , or hit alt-s, and you should see the feed you just added. With in the Sage window you can right click and add folders to organize your feeds.
