I know it's been a while, and I'm sure most of you forgot about me anyway, but your friendly captain helpdesk is here to brighten your day with a couple firefox tricks to please the masses...

If you want to know what plugins you have installed, simply type about:plugins in the address bar. If there are some plugins that you are missing and yet desire check out http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/central.html#central-plugins.

Phil Agre has this great post, How to Help Somone Use a Computer. (Though it's from 1996, so it's more of an article than a post, but we'll just call it a post.) Anyway, here's some of the gems you'll find there:

* Don't take the keyboard. Let them do all the typing, even if it's slower that way, and even if you have to point them to every key they need to type. That's the only way they're going to learn from the interaction.
* Find out what they're really trying to do. Is there another way to go about it?
* Take a long-term view. Who do users in this community get help from? If you focus on building that person's skills, the skills will diffuse to everyone else.
