After yesterday's article about Mozilla rolling out Firefox 3 update notifications it's clear that there are still some of you who don't intend on making the leap to Firefox 3 just yet. Maybe you're still waiting for extensions to get updated, have problems running Firefox 3 on your computer, or just don't want the new features it offers.
On Monday Mozilla Labs introduced a new concept series where people can submit their ideas, mockups, and demonstration videos of how they'd like to see things work in a web browser. They're doing this so that they can ""
Since the release of Firefox 3 is right around the corner it comes as no surprise that Mozilla is trying to rally the troops community. Back in 2006 they celebrated World Firefox Day by getting people to invite their friends to try Firefox, and right about the time Firefox 2 launched Mozilla gave the much deserved acknowledgements.
I always find it interesting to read and watch interviews with leaders of various companies, particularly when they give their take on their own products. Just last week a "Support Firefox Day" session was held over the IRC chat service, and in it they had four of the best known Mozilla employees answer questions that you may find interesting.
Development on the Firefox 3 browser is finally starting to wrap up. It's been a year and a half since Firefox 2 was released to the public, and by the end of May Firefox 3 will have entered the Release Candidate stages. This is all preparation for what looks to be a June 2008 launch of the long awaited Firefox 3 browser.
Last week we took a look at where the various browsers stood up against each other in terms of market share. I was shocked (to say the least) when Internet Explorer triumphantly came out on top with a 1.22% market share increase. That really hit hard for Firefox who's market share was sent spiraling down to 16.96%, which was nearly a percent lower than the previous month.
I think it's safe to say that a lot of Firefox users associate the browser with security. It may normally keep you out of harms way, but that's not the case if you downloaded the Vietnamese language pack after February 18, 2008.
Imagine sitting at a large round table over at AT&T trying to come up with ways to better your brand and service. Everyone is expressing their minds, and one individual says "" There's a slight chuckle in the room, and then everyone begins looking at each other with a slightly puzzled look on their faces. Finally, someone says ""
Firefox has obviously gained a lot of popularity because of what an extensible browser it has become. Our article last week about getting Safari-styled inline searching is a prime example of that. You can customize nearly any aspect of it thanks to thousands of extensions and scripts that have been created by developers, and one of our goals is to point you towards the best ones.
For about a month now browser developers have been eyeing the new Acid3 test to see how they can push to meet the standards it tests for. Shortly after the test was released we took a look at how the browsers stacked up to each other, but none of them passed the test. Then just last week both Opera and Safari released test builds that demonstrate their compliance.
Mozilla has just launched their new Firefox Add-ons site that shows off a sparkling and freshly revamped interface. Back in February we took a glimpse at what a preview of the new add-ons site had to offer, and overall I would say that it is a really nice improvement over the prior version.
Last week we wrote about how Apple was trying to push the Safari "update" on any computer with the Apple Software Update installed, regardless of whether Safari had ever been installed before on the machine.
Back in September 2007 Mozilla decided to break their email client, called Thunderbird, away from the browser and create a separate subsidiary for it. Up until now the new subsidiary has been called MailCo, but today it officially received the name of Mozilla Messaging.
We've known for a little while that Mozilla had plans to design a mobile browser, and now we are getting some insight as to where they are headed with it. As it turns out they are actually designing two different mobile versions, one for touch screen devices (iPhone-style) and another for smaller screens (like cellphones).
Mozilla's current CEO, Mitchell Baker, announced on her blog that she will be stepping down. Moving up the ladder is John Lilly, the former Chief Operating Office (COO), who will be fulfilling the duties previously assigned to Baker. From what it sounds like, however, Baker will remain as an active leader in the organization:
There's a new app on the block, and it looks as though it may have a very promising future. The open source Spicebird project has its first Alpha release coming up soon, and to tease us they've posted a video of what to expect. We've outlined all of the features demonstrated in the video below, and provided screenshots from each important aspect of the program.
