My Most-Useful Firefox Add-ons
,----[ Quote ]
| There are almost as many Firefox extensions as there are Firefox users but
| some of those extensions seem a little esoteric to me: It is like someone has
| looked through the list of existing add-ons and thought "What's missing, what
| can I do that no one else has done?".
|
| While I admire the creativity behind that thinking - it is part of what makes
| the Free/Open Source Software world so vibrant - it does not really add a
| great deal in terms of improving the functionality of Firefox.

Review: Firefox 3.1 Beta Leaves IE in Ashes
,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox 3.1 is the fastest version yet. One of our favorite sites to use for
| testing is papervision3d.org because it is so graphics heavy. Firefox 3.1
| took 25 seconds to fully load. Compare this to our last Firefox 3 review on
| the same machine, Firefox 3 took 45 seconds to load the site's 3D image.
|
| The browser is unquestionably fast. It also comes with some new features,
| many of them under-the-hood and dealing with advanced CSS capabilities, but
| there are some new interface features as well. For instance, Cntrl-tab has
| been added as a shortcut to quickly switch between tabs. Also, tabs can be
| dragged and dropped between Mozilla windows, a feature that works well and
| smoothly.
|
| [...]
|
| The performance in this version is superb. It will be interesting to keep an
| eye out to see if any security exploits are discovered.

Hands on: Fennec alpha 1 puts Firefox on your handheld
,----[ Quote ]
| I tested the Fennec alpha on my Nokia N810 running Diablo, the latest stable
| version of the Maemo platform. Mozilla is currently using the Nokia Internet
| Tablet devices as the reference platform for public testing of Fennec. Users
| who do not own one of the Nokia devices can also download a version that runs
| in a window on regular desktop computers, much like an XULRunner application.

Mozilla Firefox 3.1 on Its Way to Setting Web Video Standard
,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox has a huge user base and acceptance from web developers, which
| theoretically makes Mozilla less vulnerable to submarine patent lawsuits, as
| companies would risk in terms of image if such actions were taken, as
| Mitchell Baker commented at the Products and Technology Roadmap Mozilla
| Summit session. Mike Shaver, Mozilla’s Interim VP of Engineering,
| added, "Somebody had to do it. It’s good it was us."
