Poll: Firefox is browser of choice
,----[ Quote ]
| Google has entered the crowded browser market with the public beta test of
| it's browser, Chrome.
|
| But, is it the favorite among users? This week's Business Pulse survey asked:
| Which Web browser would you rather use?
|
| The winner was Mozilla's Firefox browser, which beat out Microsoft's Internet
| Explorer. The voting broke down as follows:
|
| * Firefox (Mozilla) - 50 percent
| * Internet Explorer (Microsoft) - 37 percent
| * Chrome (Google) - 5 percent
| * Safari (Apple) - 4 percent
| * Other - 4 percent
| * Opera (Opera Software) - 0 percent
|
| Comments left by respondents included:
|
| "Opera is actually a great browser. I don't understand why anyone would use
| IE. It's garbage!"

So Many Colors
,----[ Quote ]
| This summer, I’ve been working on getting Mozilla’s color management backend
| ready for the prime time. We’re finally turning it on in tonight’s nightly
| builds, so I thought I’d give a bit of background on the history of color
| management in Mozilla and on color management in general. You should all go
| download the latest nightly when it comes out and give it a try.

New tab switching added for Firefox 3.1
,----[ Quote ]
| Press Ctrl + Tab (or Shift + Ctrl + Tab) and you are presented with tab
| thumbnails and titles with the most recently visited ones first so you can
| more easily determine which tab you want to go, have the one you most
| probably want to go closer, and as a result get to it faster. Hold Ctrl
| pressed and keep pressing Tab to see the thumbnails smoothly scroll to the
| left while the status bar displays the tab web address.

Firefox is King
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla Firefox is now the king of all browsers. --At least based on the web
| traffic data gathered from junauza.com and from a popular tech blog by known
| Windows Vista fanboy user Jeff Atwood. Firefox tops all other web browsers
| and most importantly kicked its archrival Internet Explorer out of the
| highest position.

Firefox 3.1 (Shiretoko) planned features draft
,----[ Quote ]
| A very early draft of planned features reveals that as expected, this release
| will be mainly about landing stuff that didn’t make it on time for the
| Firefox 3, along with the usual performance, stability and security bug
| fixes.
|
| Visual tab switching and tab searching/filtering were both tried for Firefox
| 3, abandoned for other more critical features, and are being considered for
| 3.1. Ctrl+Tab, a extension developed by Dao Gottwald implements both of them
| displaying a thumbnail of the opened tabs when pressing Ctrl + Tab to switch
| tabs.

Developers: Firefox 3.1 Update Should Be "Easy"
,----[ Quote ]
| The release of Firefox 3.0 has been a resounding success, but for some the
| upgrade path has been less than painless. The latest version of the open
| source browser differed enough from previous versions that many add-ons had
| to be substantially rewritten before they would work with the new release.
| And just when the dust appeared to be clearing, Firefox 3.1 is on the
| horizon.
