Growl Notifications

This software review centers on the integration of Growl with Mozilla's code base. Thanks to the official Growl project, users can now receive notifications for Firefox downloads, including starts, finishes, failures, and cancellations. The notification includes a link to the download manager, which is quite nifty.

Similarly, Growl displays notifications for new mail in Thunderbird, providing both sender and subject details. Clicking on this notification brings Thunderbird into focus. Additionally, if you have Chatzilla installed, several notifications may also be displayed. Clicking on these notifications will focus Chatzilla. However, if you find these notifications disruptive, you can turn them off by modifying the notifications Growl displays in the Growl prefpane.

Finally, after installing and restarting your browser, a Growl notification should appear to indicate successful registration of the application. The only requirement is that you have Firefox installed. Overall, the integration of Growl with Mozilla's code base offers users seamless and convenient notifications that enhance their browsing experience.
