I love how the Mozilla peeps can come up with and idea for a contest, and it does really just seem cooler because they are doing it. The latest from Spread Firefox is a Firefox 3 T-Shirt Contest. You can show your creativity and help promote Firefox 3 all at the same time.
The winner of the contest will get:
Worldwide recognition for designing the official Firefox 3 T-Shirt featured in the Mozilla Store.
A free Firefox 3 T-Shirt to show [...]

The beauty of Greasemonkey is it can practically make anything better – even YouTube. Now it can’t make the idiots smacking themselves in the face with flaming bags of poo smarter, but it can give you a better way of viewing, downloading and sharing their misfortunes with your own crew of friends. Here is the Firefox Facts round up of some of the newest and the best [...]

Along with Firefox 3 , it looks like Mozilla will be giving a refresh to the Add-ons web site as well. Out of a one to ten score, I would give it myself a 8.5.
I like it – but the middle seems unorganized some. Not sure if I am in love with it 100%. The far right column I think needs some color too.
For the single review pages, I do like they added the comment and review [...]
Many designers, when they are in need of some dummy text to fill in a layout won’t do what I do. Personally, I like just to write random sentences such as, “The duck likes to party with the midget at Wrestlemania.” over and over.
The dummy text they use has a name though – it is called Lorem Ipsum. While it does resemble classical Latin, it (much like my sentence before) has no real meaning.
Dummy Lipsum, a Firefox extension, does [...]
Sort your bookmarks by task and not by subject. Over time I have learned to depend less and less on my bookmarks for getting me around the Web. Instead of searching through my bookmarks for the link I was wanting to browse again – I’ll just type it into the Google search box in Firefox if it was that hard to remember.
Most of the time, I can just type it into the address bar faster or get there [...]
Today I saw my first Firefox 3 extension that bring back “classic” features of Firefox 2. It was only a matter of time before some of these started to pop up and I have a feeling that many more may be on their way.
The oldbar addon replaces Firefox 3’s new address bar with the one that you are used to now in Firefox 2. Here is the new Firefox 3 address bar (or otherwise known as the location [...]
There is no doubt that a lot of people are excited about Firefox 3. With those who loved Firefox 2 things just keep getting better. For those who thought Firefox 1.5 was the best – the hope to see a return to the browser they love.
Here is your mostly Firefox 3 Beta 3 link roundup for this week:
Syncing iPhone Bookmarks with Firefox
MidnightFox Theme Gets All New Buttons??
Risk-Free Firefox 3
Firefox Live Bookmarks in the Sidebar
A deep look to [...]
Interclue for Firefox kind of excites me because I think they are trying to do a good job with a browsing idea that really hasn’t been my cup of tea yet, the “thumbnail preview”. One positive is that they say it stays out of your way when you do not need it – which is my argument against other extensions like this. As you can see in the preview, they offer more than just your standard screenshot of [...]

[Improved in Beta 3!] Speed: Major architectural changes (such as the move to Cairo and a rewrite to how [...]
Just ran across this interview with Mozilla’s CEO, John Lilly on the GigaOM Show over at Revision3.com. Well worth checking into and watching to hear a little more from one of the head honchos.
