Mozilla detects insecure plugins for IE, Chrome, Safari

,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla has introduced a service that 
| checks plugins for the Internet Explorer, 
| Chrome, Opera, and Safari browsers to make 
| sure they don't contain known bugs or 
| security vulnerabilities.
| 
| The page builds off a feature rolled out 
| last year that checked only for out-of-date 
| plugins for Firefox. At the moment, the 
| service offers limited coverage for 
| Internet Explorer extensions, but Mozilla 
| says it plans to offer full coverage 
| eventually.

Mozilla Wish List.

,----[ Quote ]
| As long as I can remember I had been using 
| the Netscape web browser which evolved to 
| Mozilla and now Firefox. I still use 
| Firefox and have grown so comfortable with 
| it that I donât really desire to move onto 
| anything else. Needless to say, Mozillaâs 
| products are not perfect and there is 
| always room for additional features and 
| what I believe to be necessities in order 
| to function in todayâs world of computing.

Firefox 4: fast, powerful, and empowering

,----[ Quote ]
| Today, I presented an early product plan 
| for Firefox 4 to the Mozilla community 
| (live, over the web!) to share our vision 
| for the next version of Firefox, and what 
| projects are underway to realize it. Then I 
| invited everyone to get involved by joining 
| our engineering or product development 
| efforts.

| 
| If you have Firefox or a modern web browser 
| that supports fully open HTML video, you 
| can watch the presentation.

Mozilla and the Shuttleworth Foundation seek fellowship applicants

,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla Drumbeat and the Shuttleworth 
| Foundation have announced a joint 
| fellowship focused on âeducation for the 
| open webâ. According to a post on the 
| Commonspace blog by Mark Surman, executive 
| director of the Mozilla Foundation and 
| former open philanthropy fellow at the 
| Shuttleworth Foundation, the aim of the 
| fellowship "is to find someone with solid, 
| scalable and fresh ideas on how open 
| learning and the open web intertwine."

Firefox 4 release plan: The need for speed

,----[ Quote ]
| "Performance is a huge, huge, huge thing
| for us," said Mike Beltzner, vice president
| of engineering for Firefox, in a Webcast on
| Tuesday about plans for the browser. "We
| created the performance story, and we've
| got to keep at it."

Mozilla firms up Firefox 4 plans

,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla has given a breakdown of its plans
| for Firefox 4, including a pledge to make
| it "super-duper fast".
|
| Perhaps the most striking change to Firefox
| 4 is the user interface, which takes a
| great deal of inspiration from Google
| Chrome. Though Mozilla was keen to note
| that the mockups shown in the presentation
| were subject to change, it's clear Firefox
| 4 will benefit from the design choices made
| by Google's pared-back browser.
