Chrome Is Rapidly Approaching Firefox In Extension Numbers
,----[ Quote ]
| It was only December when Google officially
| launched extensions for its Chrome browser.
| Almost immediately, there were 500
| extensions in the gallery as many
| developers had been working on them for a
| while. Today, Google is saying that number
| is now past 3,000. And thatâs significant
| because itâs already pretty close to the
| browser known for its extensions (which it
| calls âadd-onsâ), Firefox.

| (142 comments at the last count). Thanks to
| everyone who took the time to share their
| thoughts.

The road back to par: Radical reconstructive surgery planned for Firefox 4.0
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla not only saw this trend coming, but
| frankly drove this trend in this direction
| some years ago, with the move to add just-
| in-time (JIT) compilation to its Firefox
| JavaScript interpreter. The JavaScript
| engine Mozilla introduced in version 3.5,
| dubbed TraceMonkey, borrows a concept from
| these language frameworks by tracing the
| direction of JS instructions ahead of time,
| catabolizing those instructions into loops,
| and generating a kind of intermediate code
| that can be very simply recompiled into
| machine code (assembly) at run time.

Schools for Scandal - the UK's
,----[ Quote ]
| Obviously, it's scandalous that schools not
| only don't have the option to install
| Firefox in the first place - since it's
| much safer than Internet Explorer - but
| that they must *pay* to install it
| afterwards. As the article rightly notes,
| this means they also pay in another way,
| through lock-in to old software because
| they can't afford to do so.

Mozilla issues new Firefox test release
,----[ Quote ]
| The software is based on version 1.9.3 of
| the Gecko browser engine that underlies
| Firefox. The current Firefox 3.6, and an
| update called Lorentz, are based on 1.9.2.
|
| The headline feature of the new preview
| release is the same for Lorentz, though:
| out-of-process plug-ins, which means that
| Adobe Systems Flash Player and the like
| run in a separate memory compartment to
| protect the browser overall when they
| crash. Mozilla hopes people will see how
| well it works on an OOPP testing page.

Researchers Develop 3D Graphics Capability for Firefox
,----[ Quote ]
| A group of researchers plans to release a
| version of the Firefox browser that
| includes the built-in ability to view 3D
| graphics, a capability that could open the
| door for more interactive Web pages from
| developers.
|
| Some gaming companies have created plug-
| ins that allow 3D graphics to be viewed,
| but the latest method does not require
| one, which potentially would allow the
| capability to be used by more people, said
| Philipp Slusallek, a professor at Saarland
| University, at the Cebit trade show on
| Wednesday.
