Firefox hits 270 million users, without Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The open source Firefox web browser from Mozilla now has some 270 million
| users. That's the figure that Mozilla staffer Aza Dotzler is now claiming,
| and it's not an easy number to calculate.
|
| How do you count users for an open source application that does not require
| registrations? Downloads aren't accurate, since downloads include the same
| users that could have updated and/or downloaded revisions.

Beyond Firefox: 10 Other Great Linux Browsers
,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox has been a reliable browser for me for many years and it still
| continues to be so to a certain extent. However, over the last few releases
| Firefox has become bloated and slow in performance that same way IE used to
| be before we switched to Firefox. The only thing that is stopping me from
| switching to another browser, is the large number of extensions available for
| Firefox. Specifically firebug. Since I spend most of my time on a Linux
| system, over the last few days I have been looking for an alternative Linux
| browser. Here are 10 of the best Linux browsers out there that can be a
| decent alternative to Firefox:

Thinking about Refreshing the Firefox Icon
,----[ Quote ]
| As we get closer to releasing Shiretoko (Firefox 3.5) we are considering that
| this might be a good time to update and evolve the Firefox application icon.
| We will likely be leveraging some conceptual work created by Jon Hicks during
| the development of Firefox 3, but otherwise we are just now getting started.

20 useless Firefox add-ons (slideshow)
,----[ Quote ]
| There are more than 7,000 Firefox extensions in Mozilla's official catalog,
| and a good portion of them can drastically improve how you browse the Web.
| Then there are the stinkers. These add-ons that actually make the browser
| slower, or harder to use. We've compiled a list of 20 that you should steer
| clear from, if only for their lack of basic utility.
