Firefox 3 - The Beast Among Web Browsers

,----[ Quote ]
| Not only Firefox became in a relatively short amount of time the most popular 
| web browser on Linux, but it also turned out to be the most powerful 
| competitor to Internet Explorer on Windows, proving itself faster, more 
| stable, more flexible and secure. Some would say Firefox is one of the most 
| important proofs that open-source can and is actually better than closed, 
| proprietary software. Firefox is heavily advertised by the Mozilla 
| corporation, many Linux fans put a link to the official Firefox website on 
| their blog or personal homepages, initiatives like SpreadFirefox.com or the 
| Firefox Download Day, they all contribute to making Firefox so popular.

Mozilla's Frank Hecker on Politics 2.0, Open Source, and Participatory
Democracy

,----[ Quote ]
| I had a chance to interview Frank Hecker at this year's Personal Demoracy 
| Forum in New York City in July. Both Frank Hecker and Brian Behlendorf 
| represented the Mozilla Foundation at this conference focused on the 
| intersection between politics and technology. In this 25 minute interview 
| you'll hear Frank Hecker talking about Mozilla's mission and structure, as 
| well as his own personal views on how open source could provide a model for 
| involving citizens in participatory democracy.

'We're Huge in Finland!' Firefox Hits New High as IE7 Lags

,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla Firefox continued its slow but steady march against the worldwide 
| dominance of Microsoft Internet Explorer in 2007. Though the open-source web 
| browser continues to sit firmly in second place behind IE, where it's been 
| for years, usage of Firefox is still on the rise. The browser is even 
| threatening to tip the scales in some European countries -- most likely 
| thanks to the rapid internationalization efforts made possible by the 
| open-source development model.
