  • Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source Web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation. Firefox is the second most widely used browser.
  • To display web pages, Firefox uses the Gecko
  • which implements most current web standards in addition to several features that are intended to anticipate likely additions to the standards.

  • OK beta news, please fix the wording of this information. Mozilla Firefox (v9) for Windows 9.0 Alpha 1. A better way is to say Mozilla Firefox version 9 alpha-1 for windows. There are people that have nothing better to do than to say dah! I don't have windows 9. Read it and see that they have a point about the wording of this. It's stupid and you have been told before about this wording situation.The same goes for the other Firefox beta's that you are listing. The wording is the same as this one, like someone got hit with a stupid stick while typing it out.
  • They have to be joking.... How dumb do they take us for?

    Mozilla Firefox explain that Mozilla and Firefox has been a very big browser and pp are saying how stupid do they think the pp are because everyone knows this fact.

Mozilla (Carefully) Slams Apple | ConceivablyTech - 0 views

  • Mozilla (Carefully) Slams Apple
  • Mozilla is having issues especially with Apple
  • heading into a direct confrontation with the mighty Jobs.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Mozilla is carefully circumventing the phrase of “waging war” against the creation of closed or “siloed” environments on the web.
  • competing, but not so by going directly against a rival, but by being “different”
  • That name would be Apple, which Mozilla’s chairman and chief lizard wrangler Mitchell Baker directly addressed in a series of sequential blog posts that outline Mozilla’s future direction. The attacks aren’t as crude and as we typically see between Mozilla and Microsoft. They are much more carefully worded, perhaps in an effort to remain polite and not to raise any unnecessary attention
  • “There’s no reason why “apps” can’t incorporate the characteristics that are important about the web. They don’t today because Apple didn’t build them that way. There’s no reason Apple should; Apple has a different view of the world. But we can. In fact, Mozilla is one of the very few organizations that can do this.”
  • Mozilla has yet to show what it plans to do and leaves us with its vision for now. Mozilla believes that its opportunity is a user’s desire to run anything he wants on any device he owns. Mozilla believes that a user wants to be in charge of his web experience, not Apple, Google or a device. Mozilla believes that a user would want to be in control of her/his identity and the information that is made available. Of course, Mozilla’s model is also based on Firefox and a web browser, which Apple could care less about at this time.

shared by Mojo joanne on 17 Aug 11 - No Cached
  • Mozilla shrinks Firefox's memory appetite by 20%-30%
  • Mozilla's Firefox 7, slated to ship in late September, will be significantly faster because of work done plugging the browser's memory leaks, a company developer says
  • Mozilla developer Nicholas Nethercote credited the "MemShrink" project for closing memory bugs in the browser and producing a faster Firefox
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • often 20% to 30% less, and sometimes as much as 50% less
  • "Firefox 7 uses less memory than Firefox 6 (and 5 and 4)
  • This means that Firefox 7 is faster (sometimes drastically so) and less likely to crash, particularly if you have many websites open at once and/or keep Firefox running for a long time between restarts
  • Firefox has long been criticized for using large amounts of RAM
  • for not releasing memory when tabs are closed
  • practices that can degrade the browser's performance
  • extreme cases
  • crash or lock up
  • Mozilla has tried to stop the leaks before
  • If Mozilla maintains its rapid-release schedule, which results in a new edition every six weeks, the final version of Firefox 7 will ship Sept. 27

  • For many years, it was the best Web browser around.
  • Mozilla got serious about improving it
  • The other Web browser developers have caught up and surpassed Firefox.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • last few versions of Firefox haven’t been that good
  • I’ve found one Web site, my bank as it happens, that works fine with Firefox, but it doesn’t recognize Firefox 6 as being a valid Web browser.
  • This version of Firefox also does much better than previous versions at managing memory
  • I know that Firefox 7 will have better memory management. I also know that Firefox 7 is due out on September 27th
  • Firefox 6, the newest version, is better than Firefox 5, but it’s not that great either.
  • Just because Mozilla developers are paid to keep up with constant change doesn’t mean that individual developers or small independent software vendors (ISV)s can keep up.
  • I ran not only Firefox, but Chrome 13 and Internet Explorer (IE) 9 to see how Firefox 6 compared to its chief rivals
  • Firefox, once more, didn’t do well on Web standards.
  • Firefox really fell behind with 4,588 points. On this benchmark, IE surged ahead with a score of 8,343 to Chrome 13’s 8,010.
  • The other browsers are better
  • I wish I coud still recommend Firefox, but I can’t.

  • It seems like just weeks ago we were updating to Firefox 5... Yup, that was just weeks ago
  • Now with Firefox 6, we're provided with a straightforward collection of security updates and tweaks.
  • "more substantial improvements" will come with Firefox 7, including a new JavaScript engine that "uses much less memory."
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Because Firefox 6 is not a major overhaul, the reviews are sparse, but people are still expressing their opinions.
  • Firefox 6 for desktops and laptops contains a number of important stability fixes, as well as some feature improvements, most of which are aimed at developers. There's a new Web Developer menu in Firefox 6, which collates tools for building and debugging Web sites into one location
  • Scratchpad tool, which browsers like Opera and Chrome have had for some time. It allows developers to test JavaScript before implementing it. The web console feature also has a new auto-complete option and can have its location customized
  • 10 major security fixes, including "a WebGL crash, a JavaScript crash, a crash in the Ogg reader, memory safety issues and unsigned scripts. These all affected Firefox 4 and 5.
  • Congrats to Mozilla on shipping Firefox 6
  • Firefox 6 highlights for me: server sent events, web sockets (albeit vendor prefixed) and dataList support."
  • yay, Firefox 6 supports the latest Websocket spec, and finally added eventsource support - long overdue! downloading.

  • Firefox users who have went along with the update process from Firefox 4 to now Firefox 6 stable were in for a big disappointment as the new versions were not really offering any new features or visible speed improvements

  • Reset Firefox (Release Target: Firefox 9)Many Firefox users reinstall the web browser when they experience issues like crashes that they cannot fix.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The Reset Firefox feature would automatically create a new Firefox user profile and migrate the user’s data, including bookmarks, history and passwords.
  • Mozilla tackled half the problem in Firefox 8 by blocking automatic third party add-on installations in the web browser. Users now have the option to accept or deny installation of the add-on. The feature is integrated in Firefox 8.

firefox bump traffic debut ZDNet after

shared by Mojo joanne on 29 Aug 11 - No Cached
  • Firefox 6 already sees bump in traffic soon after debut
  • Firefox 6 just launched last week, and new research already sees the latest version of Mozilla’s browser accounting for a significant fraction of traffic.
  • After Chitika took a look at all U.S. and Canadian traffic between August 16 and 22, the survey found that Firefox 6 has already garnered at least eight percent of the total traffic from browsers and approximately 45 percent of all Firefox-stemming traffic.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • However, don’t get too excited for Firefox 6 just yet. Chitika found that the growth rate for Firefox 6 is starting to taper off, likely due to the fact that all of the early adopters have already downloaded and started using Firefox 6.
  • Chitika also found that Firefox 6 usage peaks during the morning and at the end of the day, but very early morning hours tend to belong to Internet Explorer. Yet, this phenomenon is only relevant to Firefox 6 and not previous editions of the software. It’s not clear what Mozilla could try to do to make up for this gap — except maybe start some kind of advertising campaign targeted at night owls and graveyard shift employees.

  • Firefox 6 'Released' Two Days Early
  • The official release for Firefox 6 is scheduled for this Tuesday, but Mozilla has already thrown up the installation files on its FTP for industrious and impatient users to download and install
  • A lot of the changes coming in Firefox 6 are under-the-hood fixes designed to increase the speed and compatibility of the browser. For example, Firefox 6 will now speed up its startup time for those with a ton of tabs and groups: Users will be able to decide whether they want to load up all of their tab groups at the browser's launch, or load these tabs up within the browser's Panorama grouping tool.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • The final "big change" that non-developer Firefox users will notice is Mozilla's new treatment of domain names within the browser's address bar. Domain names are now tinted with a small highlight, just to make it easier for users to tell what site they're on after a quick glance at the address bar
  • Other improvements to Firefox 6 include a performance boost for Linux users, as well as increased support for developers in the form of a Scratchpad tool for testing JavaScript within the browser and an improved version of the browser's Web Console
  • Firefox 6 'Released' Two Days Early
  • official release for Firefox 6 is scheduled for this Tuesday
  • A lot of the changes coming in Firefox 6
  • A new permissions tool (accessed by typing "about:permissions" in the browser's address bar) will give users a chance to set site-specific permission levels for saved passwords, cookies, location-sharing, pop-ups, and images, to name a few options.
