Joomla! 1.0.12 appears to have a pathway bug. If you use a component other than com_frontpage for the “Home page” of Joomla – meaning the first link in mainmenu and the page that appears when you load the root of the Joomla! site – then when you click on an article you get a “Double pathway”, for example the pathway will state “Home > Home > Title of article”. The Home, or whatever you named this link, part will be duplicated. It isn’t a big problem but it does look unprofessional on your site! I looked for ages for a fix to this problem, and eventually found it but the site I can not find the site I originally downloaded this fix from. It is courtesy of Reinhard Hiebl – www.hieblmedia.de (whos site is in German, one reason why I’m saving it here). I thought I would throw it online….

For Firefox and Opera only: Use the Google Secure Pro Greasemonkey script to force these Google programs to use SSL in your browser. It changes any accesses via http to https which is supported by Google, this secures your connection between your browser and Google’s servers. If you do any type of work using Google’s services where private data is exchanged, I would highly recommend this greasemonkey script to secure your communications!
If you try to use Z-index with Internet Explorer (I hear this is a problem on both 6 and 7), you may have problems getting it to “listen” when Firefox seems to handle z-index just fine. The problem is a bug in IE which does not render z-index properly all of the time. If you just use z-index: XXX and do not have a position tag, then it does not work. By adding “position: relative” or “position: absolute” tag to your CSS div tag, it magically works! Thanks for wasting several hours of mine IE. See here and here for others with this problem!
