Best Firefox 4 Theme

There have been a few themes that have been developed using the mockups Mozilla made for Firefox 4.0. What's funny is that while Firefox 4.0 is over a year away you can already get the same beautiful design without having to wait.

Microsoft: Firefox/Chrome are Insecure, Difficult to Use, and Unreliable

I'm sure you guys will get a kick out of this one. Microsoft has posted a "Get the Facts" page that has a chart comparing some general areas of IE8 versus Firefox and Chrome. Naturally IE8 comes out on top... way on top!

CyberSearch Tops 25,000 Downloads

It's definitely hard to believe, but after 6-months of being released the CyberSearch extension has been downloaded over 25,000 times from Mozilla's add-ons site. The stats page for our add-on appears to be a bit screwed up since it's only reporting that we have 3 active users, but the average number of you actively using CyberSearch is around 4,000... which is probably a bit more accurate.

Where is the Browser Market Headed?

There has been more talk about web browsers in the last few weeks than any time I can remember in the past. Google Chrome came out of the Beta phase, Opera unveiled the first Alpha release of version 10, Internet Explorer 8 is suspected to have a 3rd Beta coming in the next month, and Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 was just unveiled.

Half of Firefox Extensions Not Compatible with 3.1

Mozilla is on the verge of releasing Firefox 3.1 Beta 2, and it's quite possible that in the next month or two the final version will be pushed out the door. A major new release like this means that some of your favorite extensions might not be working, and Mozilla doesn't want that to happen.

CyberSearch Supports Firefox 3.1 Beta

Mozilla released Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 the other day, and users playing with version 3.1 for the first time will be able to enjoy some of the enhancements it brings to the table. Things like advanced address bar filtering, better tab switching, and drastically improved JavaScript performance are the main highlights for this release.

Firefox 2 Users Prompted to Upgrade to Firefox 3

Last week we told you how Mozilla would soon be pushing Firefox 3 onto the Firefox 2 users who have yet to upgrade. Well, that day is today. If you're still running Firefox 2 you should see the update prompt in the next day or so when your browser checks to see if a new version is available.

Firefox 3.1 to Get More JavaScript Speed Optimizations

Mozilla is looking to drastically improve the JavaScript performance in Firefox 3.1 when it is released later this year. When Firefox 3 was released back in June it included a significant boost in the JavaScript performance arena, but will they be able to do it again?

Extend Firefox 3 Winners

Mozilla has announced the winners of the Extend Firefox 3 add-on contest. This is where extension developers submitted their add-ons to try and win prizes like a MacBook Air, and the winners definitely deserved it. I did submit our CyberSearch extension to see if it'd win, but it looks like it didn't make the cut. :(

Firefox 2 Users to Get Firefox 3 Update Notification Soon

Those of you who are still using Firefox 2 should be getting the update notification in the next week saying that Firefox 3 is available for download. Mozilla would obviously like all of their users to upgrade to the latest version of the browser, but the real question is whether they will.

Quickly Tag & Bookmark Sites in Firefox 3

One thing that I absolutely love about the new Firefox 3 is its ability to bookmark a site in one-click using the star button in the address bar. It doesn't organize my bookmarks, but it makes for a great way to temporary bookmark a site.

Helpful Tip: Recover Lost Bookmarks in Firefox 3

Last year we provided a thorough guide on how you can recover lost bookmarks in Firefox, but as an anonymous reader pointed out some of the tips provided no longer work in Firefox 3. This is because Mozilla revamped the bookmarking system so that it performs better, and is also capable of more advanced functionality such as tagging.

CyberSearch 1.0.2: Pull Up Google Results Page Faster

Another day, another CyberSearch release. ;) Over the weekend I had some time to work on a new CyberSearch feature that I've periodically received requests for. Like most features I had to think this one through to ensure that it wouldn't interfere with the built-in Firefox keyword system.

CyberNotes Special: Introducing CyberSearch 1.0

It's been exactly one month since I uploaded the first version of CyberSearch to Mozilla's site, and since then we've had 4,000 downloads of the extension. What's really kept us going are all of you who have expressed how valuable the extension has become, and we're now averaging 4.60/5.00 stars from the 34 reviews we've received thus far.

Firefox 3.1 Alpha 1 Download

It seems like just yesterday Firefox 3.0 was released, and here we sit with the first Alpha release of Firefox 3.1 in our lap. This new release is supposed to reach final form towards the end of the year, but until that time comes there will be plenty of pre-release versions (like this one) that you can tinker with.
