FireBible 1.1 Released


The most significant update in this release is the ability to download and manage your content from within FireBible. You can also set custom fonts per module or per language. No longer do you need to use a browser to download a module and unzip it manually, simply go to Tools > FireBible and click Manage Books to bring up the new manager, select a Bible (or any other module) you wish to read and click Install to download and install it, the downloaded module will be available for viewing in FireBible immediately.

This release also adds support for Strong’s words and word morphology. Simply enable them from the View > FireBible menu and load a module which contains this metadata, like the KJV to see the links inline with the text. Note: Please make sure you have the  Strong’s / Morphology modules installed and then select the modules you wish to use on the Display tab of the FireBible preference page.

This version of FireBible was submitted as an entry to the Extend Firefox 3.5 contest and I had to create a few screencasts describing how it worked – you can check those out here: FireBible Screencasts I hope you like them, they took way too much time!

As always, if you have FireBible installed, please check for updates to install version 1.1, or head on to FireBible to get it!

    This is an absolutely phenomenal Firefox Extension. I’m running it won Ubuntu Linux 9.10 and I’m really impressed. To date, I thought FireFTP was the best extension out there, but then I came across this little gem, and now with version 1.1! The addon modules all from within the interface is EXCELLENT!

      I’m a big FireFTP fan myself and your comment just made my day! If you haven’t already tried the Ubiquity support, do checkout the Ubiquity video. I’m really happy to hear you like the new book manager, I should have put it in some time ago, thank you!

    It would be really nice if FireBible could be made to work with the Firefox addon called Session Manager.

    The FireBible toolbar state is not remembered when you save a session, so when you reload a session, it doesn’t know what to load for the FireBible tabs or windows.

    I am a church planter working with tribal villages in the Amazon Jungles of Peru. I believe this software will help me develop teaching for the pastors our ministry supports. God bless
