Firefox 3.5 RC Review

,----[ Quote ]
| With Google's Chrome 2.0 speeded up after dropping its beta and Opera 10 beta 
| claiming a better browsing speed, all eyes are on Mozilla's new Firefox 
| version hyped to touch Amazing feats of speed. Last Friday Mozilla issued the 
| new browser's first release candidate. It seems to be the most stable and 
| polished make after the year-long development process. Firefox 3.5 Release 
| Candidate (RC) was the first milestone following the beta 4 released in late

IE is like malaria, says Mozilla VP

,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla's VIP of engineering has again likened Internet Explorer to malaria, 
| insisting that although a lot of people have it, most of them wouldn't 
| actively choose it.  
| 
| In a lengthy discussion about the forthcoming Firefox 3.5, Mike Shaver 
| explains that he finds a resurgent browser division at Microsoft a 
| compliment, and insists that all he wants is a fair fight – where browser 
| choice is about suitability and choice and not defaults.

First results of Electrolysis, multi-process Firefox

,----[ Quote ]
| A few weeks ago, Mozilla announced Electrolysis, a new project that aims to 
| make Firefox a multi-process application, with separate processes for the 
| user interface (chrome), each tab, and plugins, in order to provide higher 
| stability as a a problem with a plugin or a certain web page wouldn’t bring 
| down the whole session; higher performace, as today’s multi-core processors 
| can handle multiple tasks at a time; and stronger security, as each could run 
| on different security contexts.

Firefox 3.5: What's in a Number?

,----[ Quote ]
| I had an interesting chat this morning with Mike Shaver, VP, Engineering at
| Mozilla, about the imminent Firefox 3.5. Its launch takes place against a
| background where Firefox continues to make gains in the browser market,
| passing the 50% share in some European countries, and where it has created an
| unparalleled ecosystem of addons that places it at the forefront of the
| browser world in terms of capability and customisability.
