20 Nov 07 Firefox 3.0 (Beta 1)
Today Mozilla released their latest browser Firefox 3.0 beta 1. After running it for a while, the browser is MUCH faster. No bugs yet, other then the memory leak which has plagued users of FF since the browser first launched. The entire experience is improved. They’ve redesigned it to be cleaner, easier to access, and made things like bookmarks and saving passwords easier. Page zooming is really cool, and they finally have the ability to resume downloads perfected.
To the geeky crowd, the reason for the speed bump in rendering pages is that Firefox now is built from Gecko 1.9, a brand new version of engine for rendering HTML. Gecko 1.9 is primarily coded from Cairo, an open source vector graphics software library that can leverage hardware accelerated rendering.
It isn’t recommended that you download this if you are just a casual user, but from what I’ve seen it is stable enough to use as your main browser…and they are sure to release a few more updates in the coming weeks before it’s final public release.
P.S. It is most likely that your extensions won’t work yet with the new beta. It takes time for the creators of these extensions to update the software….a large reason why there is a beta period. And yes, this beta is available for OS X, or any other platform that Firefox runs on.
29 Jan 07 Free T-Mobile without Vista
Sure, going out and paying $249 to upgrade to Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate tomorrow gets you 3 free months of T-Mobile Hotspot service, but what if you could do it for free?
I don’t want to say too much, but if you ever thought about changing the “general.useragent.extra.firefox” in a browser other then IE to something that may or may not resemble this “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)” and visit this page to sign up: http://hotspot.t-mobile.com/vista/, it may or may not work for ya.
Not that I would ever recommend you try such a thing 
24 Oct 06 Firefox 2.0: Official Launch
Firefox 2.0 is officially released. Might be a good idea to re-download if you used the link mentioned yesterday.
This is the official launch of a truly great product, the search feature alone is worth the upgrade.
23 Oct 06 Get Firefox 2.0 now
Even though the official release of Firefox 2.0 is scheduled for tomorrow, you can download the full (non-release candidate) edition now.
Firefox included a number of feature upgrades, and sports a sleek new look and feel. I can say that for sure it is MUCH faster on my mac than previous versions of Firefox as well. I might just have to switch from Camino.
19 Oct 06 Attn: Internet Explorer users
I received a comment on another blog about my site not being accessible through IE7, now for some reason it wasn’t able to be installed on my system here, but IE6 is working for me and so is my site on IE6.
Can anyone visit the site with IE6 and/or IE7 and tell me if you get an errors, so that I can try to trouble shoot them. Thank you in advance.
I honestly didn’t know that the site was having errors on IE. Personally I prefer Firefox, but I’m not going to deny anyone to visit the site simply because they are using IE.
