Fennec on Android
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the last few months, we've made some
| great progress on bringing Firefox to
| Android. Michael Wu, Brad Lassey, Alex
| Pakhotin and I have been focusing on
| getting a build ready that's usable by a
| broader set of people, and we're now ready
| to get that build out there.

The Next Big Fight: Facebook vs. Firefox?
,----[ Quote ]
| Facebook wants to be the entry-point to the
| Web, but it's important to remember that
| Facebook itself is on the Web, and accessed
| through a Web browser. This means that in
| some sense the browser exists at a lower
| level than Facebook, and therefore has the
| opportunity to pre-empt some of its
| functions â notably, in terms of handling
| the key issue of identity.

Mozilla Officially Unveils A Pre-Alpha Test Version Of Firefox For Android
,----[ Quote ]
| Late last month, a number of sites noted
| that a very early build of Fennec, the
| mobile version of Firefox, was available to
| download for Android phones. However, that
| build wasnât official as it was put
| together by an individual and optimized for
| the Droid device. Today, Mozilla has itself
| put out a pre-Alpha build of Fennec that
| should work at the very least on Droid and
| the Nexus One.

My ISP is by-passing Firefox's Location bar search
,----[ Quote ]
| I just got back from 10 days abroad and
| noticed my Firefox at home was acting
| oddly. My preferred way to go to many
| websites is simply to type their name into
| the location bar, and then let Google's
| "I'm feeling lucky" feature take me to the
| actual site. I realize this might not be
| the most conventional way to do it (sure, I
| could have bookmarks etc.), but it's they
| way I like to do it.. I also use KDE's Alt-
| F2 launcher to start programs.

Five Essential Firefox Add-ons for Internet Ninjas
,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to browsers, I have no
| loyalty. I am constantly hopping back and
| forth between Mozilla Firefox and Google
| Chrome. Why? Theyâre both great browsers
| that have real advantages over competitors
| like Microsoft Internet Explorer and the
| Apple Safari browser. Google Chrome is a
| really clean and uncluttered browser that
| is stable and performs well. For its part,
| Firefox has a slew of great add-ons
| available to make your browsing experience
| a little better. Chrome is beginning to
| amass a pretty good collection of its own
| browser extensions, but, for now at least,
| Firefox still has them beat.

A look at the future of Firefox add-ons
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently we came across some information
| that Firefox would be getting restart-less
| add-ons sooner than we expected, and it
| prompted us to take a look at the future of
| Firefox add-ons.
|
| [...]
|
| Jetpack started off as a Mozilla labs
| experiment for the future of Firefox
| extensions. It was meant to be a simple new
| way to get started writing extensions for
| Firefox using web standard technologies
| such as HTML, Javascript and CSS. The
| Jetpack system was supposed to eventually
| become an alternate -- perhaps a
| replacement -- for the current way of
| writing extensions for Firefox.
|
| Jetpacks were restart-less extensions for
| default which used the Jetpack APIs to do
| all the work. This meant that Firefox could
| make as many changes as they wanted between
| two versions of Firefox, and as long as
| they ensured that the Jetpack API doQuotees
| not change no add-on functionality will
| break.
|
| After 8 iterations, the Jetpack project
| came to an end, as the original project had
| lost clarity in its goal. However from its
| ashes the Jetpack SDK has arisen, which
| takes into account some of the lessons
| learnt while creating Jetpack.
