Mycroft - 1000 search plugins, Search plugins for Mozilla and Firefox.
Since the last status update one month ago, we've added over 200
new search plugins, reaching now our 1000th. Since Firefox is out, 
visits at our website have tripled. While we are happy about Mycroft's 
success, but we cannot handle the additional workload. So we would 
be really happy if you could join the team.

HON - 1.2, which tells you if the Website you are browsing is accredited 
by the Health On the Net (HON) Foundation, released HONcode Status 1.2 
on February 25th. It now uses a new format for the list of HONcode 
accredited Websites (URLs are now encoded in MD5 instead of clear text).
Please update!

RSS feeds, includes another fix for the duplicate message problem and 
also now ignores whitespace around URLs in subscriptions.txt

IE View - v0.7, which enables you to view pages / links in Internet Explorer, 
has added the most-requested enhancement: a preference setting to specify
the browser path.  IE View cannot always find Internet Explorer on its
own (non-standard installations, some international builds, etc.), 
and some people prefer to launch a different browser instead (Opera, etc.).

has undergone an overhaul including rewritten code, repackaged for smaller download, and
