Last week we told you how Mozilla would soon be pushing Firefox 3 onto the Firefox 2 users who have yet to upgrade. Well, that day is today. If you're still running Firefox 2 you should see the update prompt in the next day or so when your browser checks to see if a new version is available.

Another day, another CyberSearch release. ;) Over the weekend I had some time to work on a new CyberSearch feature that I've periodically received requests for. Like most features I had to think this one through to ensure that it wouldn't interfere with the built-in Firefox keyword system.

So what have I added? In CyberSearch 1.0 you might recall that I added an entry onto the bottom
