New Firefox 4 âMinefieldâ beta sports WebM video and tweaked UI

,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox 4 is on track for a planned November 
| release, with Mozilla this week unveilling 
| its latest âdeveloper previewâ of the 
| browser. (Download at your own risk here - 
| the "1.9.3 alpha" version number on that 
| page refers to the Gecko rendering engine in 
| Firefox 4.)

Does Firefox Have Cooties?

,----[ Quote ]
| What's the deal? Is Firefox just not good 
| enough any more? Not hardly. Firefox is 
| still hanging around 31 percent of market 
| share (from Wikimedia), compared to Chrome's 
| almost seven percent.

Firefox 4: An early walk-through of IndexedDB

,----[ Quote ]
| Web developers already have localStorage,
| which is used for client side storage of
| simple key-value pairs. This alone doesnât
| address the needs of many web applications
| for structured storage and indexed data.
| Mozilla is working on a structured storage
| API with indexing support called
| IndexedDB, and we will have some test
| builds in the next few weeks. This can be
| compared to the WebDatabase API
| implemented by several browsers that uses
| a subset of the allowable language of
| SQLite. Mozilla has chosen to not
| implement WebDatabase for various reasons
| discussed in this post.
