From using Bungee Builder both obsessively and incessantly, I have found a couple best practices for your browser.
- Get rid of all your browser chrome. It just takes up valuable real estate that you want for Bungee Builder.
- If you’re using a MacBook or MacBook Pro (as I am), never navigate to the builder from another page, or your delete key will act like a back button.
So here’s the handy trick I use so that I follow both of these guidelines: set up a Javascript bookmark as your launcher.
You do this by creating a bookmark that points to the following URL:
- javascript:window.open('http://builder.bungeeconnect.com', 'Bungee%20Connect','resizable=yes')
Here’s a quick screenshot from Firefox on my Linux desktop. (This should work close to the same in any of the big three browsers, but post a comment if you find it does not.)

If you’re using Firefox 3 you can take this a step further and use Prism to run the app in a separate memory space, thereby insulating your Builder session from any other Firefox crashes. Check out the extension for more info:

Another format I like is Firefox’s multitab bookmarks – use a pipe between each url for additional tabs to open as a group:
http://builder.bungeeconnect.com|http://docs.bungeeconnect.com|http://forums.bungeeconnect.com
BTW, there’s something goofy with the javascript text in your post – quotes going the wrong way.

@James:
Thanks for the alert on the issue with the quotes. I think it was CSS replacing the apostrophes with open and close single quotes. I had to swap them with HTML character codes.
