See: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10722 For readers who use Firefox and are new to IE8, I wanted your readers to be aware that Firefox has a version of Accelerators too, it is called “KALLOUT - Accelerators for Firefox” It’s available as a free add-on through Firefox. See: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10722 The big advantage of Kallout is called BestGuess -- it chooses the Accelerator for you from a large menu of services rather than requiring you to manually select an accelerator. Sounds like a little change but the user experience is just much more satisfying in my experience. The good news is that the accelerators from MS will actually work directly with KallOut-Accelerators for Firefox so users can stick with Firefox if they want and still get the benefits of the community-developed accelerators.
