I upgraded to Firefox 3 today and after the switch I found out that I had lost my left and right navigation buttons. After floundering for a bit, I was able to restore them quite easily but at the expense of my current toolbar layout and settings.

The secret is in the .emacs file located in your home directory. I’ve worked with both Verilog and Specman Elite files before, and found the correct code to add in the .emacs file to enable the beautiful keyword syntax highlighting/coloring that makes the code much more readable.

Whether you program in C++ or code in HTML, you’ve probably encountered a quick reference (”quickref” for short) at some point in your career.
