Firefox Hits The 50 Million Download Mark - New Landmark ;)

You are probably thinking from the get go that this is something that I should be discussing in the
software forums, but honestly, it is something that I just discovered and its something new that I
just learned, so it fits right in here as well. At least, technically it does! Anyways, I loaded up
my Mozilla Firefox browser a few days back and an upgrade notice popped up. Normally, I don't
think I have enough time to deal with the download and installation part so I just close it down
without upgrading, but not today! Instead, I upgraded the browser and it took me...

With the much awaited official release of Firefox 3.0 Alpha our favourite browser has finally
managed to pass the Acid Test . Codenamed Grand Paradiso, starting from this version Firefox
implements the Gecko 1.9 rendering engine and boasts heavily refactored reflow algorithms that
improve Firefox layout functionality and resolve some long-standing CSS bugs. Ryan Paul at
arstechnica has provided us with an great insight into these improvements... QUOTE The reflow

Mozilla vice president of products Christopher Beard, Firefox 2.0, which should be available on
Tuesday if all goes according to schedule, includes key new usability features missing in IE7.
Mozilla also enhanced the popular tabbed browsing feature in 2.0 that Firefox introduce...

EDIT: My apologies, the title should be "firefox" not "firefo". The X key on my keyboard is tricky
and sometimes it takes a while for X to show up. My Firefox just upgraded to Beta 2 and since Beta
1, it has been greatly improved! A new theme has been made to replace the older default theme and it
comes with a new security feature where it checks sites you visit against possible known phishing
sites and will warn you. One bug I noticed is that it likes to decrease page font size (Ctrl+-) on
it's own sometimes. Also, another cool feature is that when you close ...

Ok .. well i am shure most of you here have a daily break with web-designing. And one problem I can
think of while doing this is that , When we hit the refresh button and want to see the changes made,
the browser : 1) Either takes time .. 2) Doesnt update the content Possible reason for this is
obviously Mr. Cache ! .. Saying this .. I bet most of you Delete the cache and try to access the
website again. But Sometimes it STILL doesnt update .. So here'z the alternative "Only FireFox"
lol .. I wouldent bother much with IE, but if anyone finds something like this p...

This is kind of "old-news" but I've found the next Firefox, codename Bon Echo. This new version
has some cool new features such as inline spell check so you can easily spell check posts here or
anywhere (it even works in Google's Gmail!) It's very cool... I just don't like the
name. My web design teacher was making fun of it calling it "bone cho"... Even the Alpha 2 of
Firefox 3.0 is better: Deer Park. To get the Bon Echo release (WARNING: DEVELOPERS AND TESTERS
ONLY !!!! It's ALPHA stage so it is unstable and Mozilla has it posted that you're...

Now MS has their own version of Add-Ons out for IE6 -IE7 Beta 2 in a desperate attempt to catch up

Add-Ons for Internet Explorer which showcases both free and commercial varieties.

for the open-source Firefox browser. The Add-Ons for Internet Explorer page hosts both free a...

Movie fans can finally purchase legal downloads. Movielink, a company that used to specialize in
downloaded rental movies, will now let you purchase movies and download them to your computer. But,
most people aren't going to bother until Movielink and the other involved parties (Sony studios
being just one of them) perfect the system. 1. The downloads cost pretty much the same as if you
walk into Best Buy and purchase a copy of the movie on DVD. No, really. Expect to pay between $10-30
depending on the age and popularity of the film you're buying online. 2....

It seems that the UK tranding standards caught a company selling the free and open software Mozilla
Firefox on CD. (somthing that is completely legal provided any changes are made open source) Then
preceeded to confescate all the CD's and inform the Mozilla foundation. After the ebarrasment
of Mozilla ( a 3 person company ) having to give trading standards a lesson on the Law, trading
standards official commented that its very hard to enforce anti-piracy, when Mozilla is giving
firefox away for free... Read the article, its quite humerous http://business.time...
