5 Awesome Mozilla Labs Projects for Firefox 3.5

,----[ Quote ]
| Throughout the five years, Mozilla has dramatically improved the Internet 
| browsing experience by producing stable, open-source applications that bring 
| simplicity to our virtual lives. The latest version of Firefox is a prime 
| example of how Mozilla integrates practical features into its products, like 
| the inclusion of private browsing, tear away tabs and location awareness, 
| while still maintaining a strong user base and delivering a stable browser.

Mozilla: Making it Easier, Doing it Right

,----[ Quote ]
| Intriguing stuff, and it's great to see Mozilla working on these areas. As 
| Raskin noted, almost uniquely his team is under no pressure to deliver 
| something soon, unlike most startups; instead he and they can concentrate on 
| getting it right, even if takes longer.   
| 
| Against a background where the recent experience of the Twitter team has 
| shown that the browser-based, cloud computing model has not just weaknesses, 
| but a domino-like interlinked set of weaknesses that can lead to catastrophic 
| security failures, it's comforting to hear that someone is trying to do 
| things properly.

Firefox 3.5 vs. Chromium on Ubuntu 9.04

,----[ Quote ]
| With the recent release of Firefox 3.5 the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine is 
| really available for the ‘normal’ user (ie. not the alpha/beta users). It 
| gives you a major speed increase in JavaScript intensive webapps. But how 
| does it compare to Google’s Chromium?

Firefox 3.5 makes browsing a delight ... and much faster

,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox 3.5 is a major improvement over its predecessor (Firefox 3). If 
| you're not currently a Firefox user, you'll want to give it a try. If you 
| are, upgrading is a no brainer. 3.5 offers faster Web browsing, better tab 
| handling, a host of interface tweaks - and is noticeably faster than Firefox 
| 3.

Tech Review: New FireFox burns the competition

,----[ Quote ]
| Six years ago, Internet Explorer was the bully on the playground. Explorer 
| showed up in 1995, punched poor Netscape Navigator in the stomach, shoved it 
| in its locker and by 2002 – 2003 Explorer had a 95 percent usage share for 
| web browsers. The janitor let Netscape out of the locker but it was never the 
| same again. Today Navigator has less than 1 percent usage share, down from 
| more than 90 percent and AOL has discontinued development of the browser.

Firefox 3.6 To Have Self-Profiling Extension

,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox 3.6, otherwise known as Firefox.next, is about to be released pretty
| soon.   And one of its most interesting feature would be a self-profiling web
| tool that will allow user to see their browsing habits profile.  The new
| Firefox feature which is tentatively known as about:me, will give relevant
| user information such as most visited sites, time of the day and days users
| navigate the web most, as well as how users access the site.
