What's the difference - the color ?

I still have the old yellow and blue one. :frown:

Me too. Mattmns must have a special version...the one that doesn't let him edit. :biggrin:
 
Yeah the old one was an ugly yellow, and now the new one is a smooth blue :smile:

Maybe try clearing your cache.

edit... And the edit issue has been resolved. I was not patient enough to let the edit take a few seconds to kick in :smile:
 
I've never seen that "old one"
 
Wait, mine's blue too. :eek: I was looking at my bookmark icon.

:frown: Mine is still yellow. (And yes, I cleared the cache...I'm not convinced that ever does anything useful.) But RSS feeds are just a click away, for what it's worth (I thought it was something that came with the PF upgrade, but just learned that it's actually a new feature that came with my Safari upgrade...if a site has an RSS feed, Safari displays an icon in the address bar that I can click to view the feed). It's not too exciting though since it isn't much more than a list of new posts that I could view by clicking on New Posts. :rolleyes: Now, if someone wants to make me a PF widget so I can view the new posts RSS feed from my desktop while my browser is closed, I'd love having yet another widget to add to my new toy collection. (I'm just loving widgets! :biggrin:)
 
I like it too!
 
which firefox plugin is that that allows you to play music and control it from the browser?

btw, my PF icon is still the yellow one.:mad:

That screen shot doesn't look anything like what I have, but I think the one at work is similar. There are no icons at all on mine—just white text in a blue stripe.
