Firefox 3.5 Release May Accelerate IE's Downfall
,----[ Quote ]
| Looking at the early 2009 numbers compared to the mid-2009 numbers, it
| appears the shift has been accelerating on its own -- and that's despite both
| the lack of any major Mozilla releases and the presence of a high-profile
| Microsoft release. Given that, and considering the huge surge seen with the
| previous Firefox release, it seems entirely plausible that Firefox 3.5 could
| move the market shift into overdrive.

Feedinvader: News Ticker and Feed Reader for Firefox
,----[ Quote ]
| Feedinvader is an interesting Firefox plugin that combines an online feed
| reader with a news ticker right underneath your bookmarks bar. The feed
| reader in the back-end is currently mostly for managing the feeds in the
| ticker, but with a bit of additional work, it could also become a great
| reader in its own right.
|
| The core of the plugin is the ticker, though, which also features a nice
| pop-up with a story's excerpt when you hover the mouse over a story. While a
| lot of similar tickers can be distracting because the developers insist on
| making new stories scroll horizontally, Feedinvader just fades stories in and
| out, making the ticker far less intrusive.

Mozilla's new security policy
,----[ Quote ]
| In an article on its security blog, the Mozilla Foundation has presented a
| new security policy – known as content security policy (CSP) – intended to
| guard against the epidemic of cross-site scripting attacks (XSS) and other
| vulnerabilities. This allows web administrators, by sending special headers,
| to tell the browser which domains it should accept as sources for trusted
| code. Standard XSS attacks sometimes utilise vulnerabilities in web
| applications in order to execute JavaScript in the browser with the rights of
| trusted domains.

An early look at Firefox 3.5
,----[ Quote ]
| On the other hand, after running Firefox for days and with multiple windows
| and tabs, I found that on both Windows and Linux, Firefox is finally not
| hogging memory. Even with the debugging code that must be in a beta, I found
| that Firefox is no longer leaking memory. That's good for both the browser's
| stability and its security.
