FoxReplace - a Text Replacement Addon for Firefox Browser

FoxReplace is a Firefox addon that is able to replace text in a web page, in both editing and reading mode, with or without regular expression (regex), both manually and automatically. We use it as a complement to Find and Replace which we reviewed last month because among both, only FoxReplace can do text replacing on Blogspot post editor. We need FoxReplace more because as you might have noticed already, this site --The Ubuntu Buzz-- is based on Blogspot. We hope this tutorial will help all other professional authors. Now let's start exercising like always!
