Mozilla: Firefox 3.6 won't be late
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla may have released the first beta of
| Firefox 3.6 nearly two months late, but the
| organization believes the final version
| still will arrive on schedule before the end
| of the year.
|
| The Mozilla wiki page on version 3.6, code-
| named Namoroka, listed early September for
| the scheduled release of the first beta, but
| it actually arrived October 30. Despite
| that, Mike Shaver, vice president of
| engineering, said Mozilla wants to release
| the browser before the holidays and is
| sticking by the overall schedule for the
| open-source Web browser.

The 10 dumbest Firefox add-ons ever
,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox is one of the towering achievements
| of the open-source movement, accounting for
| almost a quarter of all Web site visits just
| five years after its launch. One of the
| reasons for its enormous popularity is that
| it can be easily customised with a range of
| add-ons -- from download accelerators to
| funky themes, they make your browsing
| experience faster, slicker or just better
| looking. The official Mozilla Firefox add-
| ons site now lists over 10,000 extensions
| for download.

What does your browser say about you? (2009 edition)

| got like 400 comments, got me on Digg,
| Reddit and crashed my server at least
| twice. Every once in a while I still get
| comments on it but these days they are
