Just tried the Expose-like one, pretty good.

Yea Im tempted to upgrade to 1.5 for that one but I dont think Fedora is in any kind of hurry...

I'd like a bookmark sync extension that works reliably.

I have a Suse 1.5.0.1 RPM (not sure exactly where I d/l it though)

I'm not sure--could you run Suse RPM's in Fedora?

[N3WBI3]

I could easily find a firefox one, I just like to stick with the stuff on the distro whenever I can..

[rzeznikj at stout]

That's generally been my strategy. However with things like FF (and the extensions I use), it's more or less a necessity to upgrade (usually with Yast).

I had to install 1.5.0.1 twice on my upgraded Suse--the extensions wouldn't install, and the Noia theme I use looked wrong.

Put Yum on my system, curious on how it works.

I may be able to rustle you up an RPM of FF1.5 if you'd like for me to look for it. One of the guys I work with created a package of it IIRC.
