Mozilla really seemed to step up the game in 2006 when it came to Firefox. With the new release of Firefox 2 they even went as far as to air commercials on television that were created by Firefox fans! It has been an amazing journey following Firefox throughout 2006 and I went through all of our Firefox stories (totaling more than 240) to pick out our favorites.

I was inspired to do this post from the Firefox Extension Guru who just wrote an article reviewing what has happened with Firefox in the past year. There are a number of significant details that he included that I don’t think I even knew about. I don’t want to spoil the article but I do want to point out that towards the end there is some information on future releases that includes Firefox 2, 3, and 4! If you like his post as much as I do make sure you Digg it!
So as the year comes to an end I would like to congratulate Mozilla on the hard work and dedication that has surely paid off. Firefox’s market share continues to rise and I can’t wait to see what 2007 brings!
Yes, folks lets “Digg”" this and see my Blog stats go through the roof again.
Still getting increased traffic on the [ffextensionguru.wordpress.com] post thanks to your forum. Thanks for the promo!
Firefox & its ever tweaking ability first turned me on to Cybernet News.
Firefox is overwhelmingly my browser of choice & Cybernet is the first tech site I check out daily. Thanks for all he tips, tweaks & how-to’s!
A lot of people would love that article at Digg so I do hope that you make it.
Thanks Ed. A majority of our readers are Firefox users so that is where we try to focus. I’m glad you find out tips to be helpful though.
Speaking of Fx 4, did you hear about Adobe donating Tamarin to Mozilla? This is essentially the code for Actionscript in flash, which is an implementation of the standard Mozilla’s Javascript is based on. (Note, IE uses ‘JScript’ not Javascript.) [wiki.mozilla.org]
