| the YouTube user experience that much better. Here are over 20 that will let
| you save your favorite videos before they disappear, stop them from
| autoplaying when you come to a page, and more.

FashionYourFirefox: Mozilla's (Partial) Effort to Push Extensions
,----[ Quote ]
| In an effort to coax more users to take advantage of the many extensions for
| its Firefox browser, Mozilla has just launched FashionYourFirefox.com. The
| site is divided up into categories, which cater to individual interests
| and "online lifestyles," according to Mozilla's announcement. The site looks
| like a good idea for extension novices, but I don't see some of my favorite
| extensions, and some of the categories have a pretty sparse number of
| extensions.

Firefox 3.1 Adds Tab Tearing
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla Links reports that the latest development release of Firefox 3.1
| includes a new feature called tab tearing. As you can see from the video
| above, tab tearing allows you to pull any tab out of your Firefox window into
| a completely new window or pull any tab into another window. This
| functionality will look familiar to any Google Chrome users, but when Firefox
| 3.1 drops, Firefox users will be enjoying the same handy feature.

Kiss Firefox EULA goodbye
,----[ Quote ]
| When Mozilla requested Ubuntu to show Firefox’s End User License Agreement on
| Firefox first start, the Ubuntu and other free software advocacy communities
| cried foul, because for some reason, stating the obvious (that Mozilla is not
| liable for whatever happens to your computer and that the software is free)
| is not in tune with the open source spirit.

The View From Firefox's Bleeding Edge
,----[ Quote ]
| Why do all this? For one, it gives me an idea of what the quality of the
| nightly builds are like for a given project, when such builds are available.
| Firefox's nightlies are remarkably solid -- not one of them has burped on me
| in the course of even remarkably heavy use, although I don't use the
| nightlies for things like accessing my bank account.

Browser Review: Mozilla Firefox 3
,----[ Quote ]
| By some estimates, more than 1.4 billion people use the Internet for work,
| entertainment, or commerce. All of those web surfers must use a browser to
| visit websites or shop at online stores, and if browsing speed, security, and
| functionality matter, those users should be cruising the information super
| highway with the Mozilla Firefox 3 web browser.
|
| [...]
|
| Recommendation: Firefox is the Best Browser Available Today
|
| Firefox is fast, safe, and offers better functionality than the competition
| thanks to an impressive collection of add-ons and some cool built-ins. The
| browser is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, and it is
| free to everyone. Certainly there are tradeoffs, but compared to
| compatibility problems and graphics support issues in IE6 and IE7, Chrome’s
| spying, and Opera’s propensity to crash, Firefox is the best.

Mozilla: Firefox is faster than Chrome
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla answered claims that Google's Chrome browser outperforms Firefox with
| benchmark results of its own that showed the upcoming Firefox 3.1 is faster
| at executing JavaScript.
|
| According to tests run by Brendan Eich, Mozilla's chief technology officer
| and the creator of JavaScript, Firefox's new TraceMonkey interpreter is up to
| 28 percent faster than V8, the name Google gave to the interpreter used by
| Chrome.

Firefox 3.1 Alpha 2 reviewed
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla has released the second alpha of Shiretoko, the development codename
| of Firefox 3.1. Alpha 2 brings a handful of improvements and new features
| that help advance the web to a more open, standards based stage, while
| tweaking the user experience.
|
| [...]
|
| TraceMonkey, the JavaScript optimization module that brings outstanding
| performance improvements to most web applications is disabled by default in
| this release because of some nasty bugs, but this should change soon.
|
| Also coming in future releases, most likely Beta 1, is geolocation support
| which was added some days ago, and will enable web developers to provide
| content customized to a user specific location.
