Peng and I aren’t the only ones who aren’t thrilled with Firefox 3

It’s a known issue that Peng and I would rather use Firefox 2 than Firefox 3 and we figured there were more of us that hadn’t posted our displeasure online. There’s now another person who has posted a less than glowing recommendation for Firefox 3.

Firefox 3 RC1 is coming!

The first Release Candidate is now going through the early stages of preparation in advance for it’s release later this month, and when I do I’ll be recommending a lot of you give it a try to see how it works for you.

Is Firefox infected with malware?

There are stories flying all over the web today about Mozilla Firefox being infected with a worm thanks to a Vietnamese language pack. It turns out that while there’s a little truth in the stories the headlines blow things out of proportion. Luckily Mozilla’s Asa Dotzler has set the record straight.

A.M.O. to be updated Thursday. Abomibations.Mozilla.org no longer?

A post on the Mozilla WebDev blog this morning reports an update coming to Addons.Mozilla.org this Thursday. It looks like they’re fixing several of the bugs that made me detest the site so much when version 3.4 was rolled out.

A user’s opinion of Firefox 3 Beta 5

Peng’s made it quite clear how he feels about Firefox 3, but he’s a geek and a bit of a techie so I wanted to post my feelings about it, simply from the standpoint of a user who got it when she upgraded to Ubuntu Hardy.

Mozilla makes another decision against usability

Firefox 3 seems to be about changing usability, and not always for the better. First we had text zoom made secondary and zoom levels being rememberd according to the site, not the tab, and now a button that has always been present in the Download Manager is removed, and the bug asking for it to be returned has ben marked WONTFIX.

Mozilla rolls out Firefox 2.0.0.14

There’s a new security and stability upgrade for Firefox 2. The biggest change is that a JavaScript scurity issue has been fixed, but you should definitely take the update if you’re running Firefox 2.

Firefox 3 Beta 5 is HERE!

My sources in Mozilla QA tell me that Firefox 3 Beta 5 should be out this afternoon. There’s no download link available yet (duh) but I did want to take a minute to write what could end up being my final post on Firefox 3’s development.

Updated 2:30 PM EDT 2 April: Firefox 5 Beta 5 is now out! And the firstrun page does in fact continue the robotic theme of previous betas.

Happy 10th Anniversary, Mozilla!

Ten years ago today, Mozilla was officially launched. While they’re marking the 10th anniversary all year long, there are two things that I’d like to make sure you check out today.

Are we ignoring the new AMO?

Mozilla unveiled a new version of their add-ons site the other day, and yet neither Peng nor I have written anything about it. Is it an inadvertent slip due to the demands of Real Life or so we have something against the update?
