IBM names Firefox its default browser

,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox  has become the default browser 
| for nearly 400,000 IBM employees, a big 
| coup for the open-source project during a 
| time of increasing browser competition.
| 
| "All IBM employees will be asked to use it 
| as their default browser," Bob Sutor, vice 
| president of open source and Linux at 
| IBM's Software Group, said in a blog post 
| Thursday. "Firefox is enterprise-ready, 
| and we're ready to adopt it for our 
| enterprise."

Saying it out loud: IBM is moving to Firefox as its default browser

,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox has been around for years, of 
| course. Today we already have thousands of 
| employees using it on Linux, Mac, and 
| Windows laptops and desktops, but weâre 
| going to be adding thousands more users to 
| the rolls.

Mozilla submits browserless Firefox to Jobsian app police

,----[ Quote ]
| The open source outfit has no intention of 
| submitting Firefox itself. It doesn't want 
| to take the browser where it's not wanted. 
| But it has built an iPhone version of 
| Firefox Sync, the browser bookmark-syncing 
| service formerly known as Weave, and with 
| a blog post on Wednesday, it announced 
| that it has formally sought the approval 
| of the Jobsian app police.

Firefox Private Browsing Mode, Torbutton, and Fingerprinting

,----[ Quote ]
| Last week, Peter Eckersley and I met with
| the Mozilla team in Mountain view to
| discuss web fingerprinting, privacy and
| Torbutton. I gave an updated version of my
| Torbutton Design talk, and Peter discussed
| Panopticlick. Mozilla was primarily
| interested in hearing about these projects
| in the context of their Private Browsing
| Mode, which they unveiled in Firefox 3.5.

,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla has released Firefox 3.6.6, an
| incremental update which tweaks the way the
| browser handles misbehaving plug-ins,
| giving Flash and other plug-ins 45 seconds
| to respond, or else get shut down

Mozilla opens up more on Firefox 4: Content Security, WebGL coming

,----[ Quote ]
| The keyword for the introduction of Mozilla
| Firefox 3.5 was speed. That helped start a
| whole new race in which Firefox led early,
| but fell soon behind Apple Safari, Google
| Chrome, and later even Opera. Now with even
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 looking to
| erase the speed gap, and then some, a newly
| published Mozilla developers' page
| characterizes Firefox 4 -- whose first public
| betas may be only a few weeks away -- as
| feature-laden.
