Every day moves us closer to a full release of Firefox. The “1.0 Preview Release”:http://www.getfirefox.com went live this morning. I’ve downloaded and installed it, and I have to say it was the smoothest Firefox upgrade I’ve ever been through.
The only quibble I have is that a few of my favorite extensions aren’t compatible yet, but [...]

“The Mozilla Foundation”:http://www.mozilla.org debuted a new website this week. I say it’s a long overdue improvement. I never much liked the previous website. Hm, I need to set up a links section on my sidebar again…

According to “Wired”:http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.09/view.html?pg=3, Stephen Toulouse, security program manager for Microsoft, uses Firefox.
Toulouse was interviewed about recent security flaws in IE. He mentioned Firefox in passing, and I think he only brought it up in a lame attempt to show that all browsers are subject to the same security issues as IE — all he said [...]

I haven’t made mention of any of the Firefox releases lately, because they’ve all been pretty trivial, but I suppose it’s worth mentioning that “Firefox 0.9.3″:http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox and “Thunderbird 0.7.3″:http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird have been released.
Get ’em while they’re hot, folks.

I uninstalled Internet Explorer from my work computer this morning, and let me tell you, I feel a lot better. My computer somehow seems smarter.
The only reason I was keeping IE around was so I could listen to my favorite streaming radio station, “K-LOVE Christian Music”:http://www.klove.com. Fortunately for me, they addressed some problems with Windows [...]

I hesitate to write this review. I’m quite afraid that someone reading what I’m about to say might not want to try Firefox. Please don’t get the wrong impression. I absolutely love Firefox, and I whole-heartedly recommend it to _everyone_. The story below is simply what happened to me during an upgrade, and is not [...]

On Monday, Mozilla announced the release of version 0.8 of their standalone browser, formerly named Mozilla Firebird. Version 0.8 carries a new moniker: Mozilla Firefox. The name took a few minutes to grow on me (after I got over the initial question, Why a name change?). “Firefox” is apparently another name for the Chinese red [...]

MozillaZine announced today that a branch has been cut for version 0.8 of Mozilla Firebird. They use a lot of tree terminology to describe the source code for Mozilla, so let me break it down as best I understand it.

Mozilla Firebird offers an extension that emulates the Google Toolbar. It doesn’t have some of the newer features such as the popup-blocker (Firebird has it’s own popup-blocker that works great), but it does have the familiar options (e.g. the search bar, next/previous result buttons, highlight options, individual search term “find” buttons, etc.).
Every since I discovered [...]
