Get Ready for Firefox 3.5, Beta 4 Available Now

March 15, 2023 by Arnold Zafra

Just a few days after I’ve updated my Firefox installation, here comes a new announcement on the release of Firefox 3.5 Beta 4. If you’ve been closely following Mozilla’s development of Firefox, you’d know that it won’t  be long until the official Firefox 3.5 browser will be available.  Still, if you couldn’t wait for the full version release, you might want to download the beta 4 version right now.

The entry of Mozilla into the mobile phone market is something that everyone is looking forward to, presumably especially those who use Mozilla Firefox as their main browser. The browser wars is an ongoing battle, and with this move, Mozilla is making sure it is not  limited to the tool used to access web sites.

As was expected, major announcements and unveilings were done at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona over the weekend, with the first smartphones running on Firefox OS being some of the highlights. The rumor mill has been busy, and we’ve known for a while about ZTE and Alcatel working on something based on Firefox OS, but it is only now that we have something solid – two things actually: the ZTE Open and the Alcatel One Touch Fire.

WebRTC: Video Chats in Browser, No Plugin Required!

Video Chat in Browser
WebRTC
What is your main means of communication? The chances of video chat being up in the list is rather high, especially if you are based in a location far from your family and friends. With the technological advances that we enjoy today, video chat has become a major mode of communication.

There are many different providers which offer video chat services, many of them free. While that is convenient, there is the issue of having to download and install those programs. What if you can do a video chat on your browser without having to install a plugin or any other program?

This is exactly what the creators of WebRTC had in mind when they conceptualized the web standard. [Read more…] about WebRTC: Video Chats in Browser, No Plugin Required!

Mozilla Add-on Collusion Allows You to Spy on Who’s Watching

Mozilla Add-on Collusion

We all know that the Internet is anything but private. Sure, there is still the high degree of anonymity, hence the cyber bullies and people who say things that they wouldn’t dare say to a person’s face. However, there is also the known fact that more and more, entities are watching what we do online. They have various reasons, but Google’s updated privacy policy is blatantly all about gathering data from users in order to better target their advertisements. (Nah, it’s not all about the money. Why would anyone think that?) [Read more…] about Mozilla Add-on Collusion Allows You to Spy on Who’s Watching

5 kinds of programs you should install on a new Windows PC

August 1, 2011 by Rico Mossegeld

So you’ve unpacked your new desktop or laptop, or just finished a reformat. What programs should you install on your brand new Windows installation? Here are 10 suggested application categories, listed in the order they should be installed.

Keep in mind that the following suggestions are meant for a new Windows installation. As a long-time user of Microsoft’s operating system, I’m aware that even Windows 7 has many disadvantages compared to Linux and Mac OS X. Yet in terms of versatility and availability of programs, Microsoft’s OS remains supreme. [Read more…] about 5 kinds of programs you should install on a new Windows PC

No Firefox for the iPhone

September 29, 2010 by noemi

Firefox lovers who are also iPhone users  might have been yearning for the day that a “real” version of the popular browser would be available for the Apple device.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen any time soon – if it will even happen, actually.

Yesterday, Mozilla once again announced that it is NOT going to come up with a full fledged version of Firefox for the iPhone.  Instead, it is simply going to continue working on Firefox Home, which is already in existence for the iOS.  Firefox Home is technically not a browser but is a bookmarking and tab synchronization technology.  In a blog post yesterday, ragavan puts an end to speculation that there just might be Firefox for the iPhone:

No Firefox Browser for the iPhone

We are working to bring as much of your Firefox experience as possible to Firefox Home. People have asked about adding more browser-like features to Firefox Home, but there are technical and logistical restrictions that make it difficult, if not impossible, to build the full Firefox browser for the iPhone. We are focused on building Firefox Home as a rich, cloud-based application and making it a valuable product that people will continue to love and use.

iPhone users will also get more features from Firefox Home including password synchronization (I can just imagine how many people will find this useful!) and more connectivity to social networking sites (of course, that is a must these days).  If you want to download Firefox Home (lucky iPhone user you), you can find it in the iTunes App Store.
