A of noise has been made about the excitement around private browsing. Personally, this isn’t the feature I have been waiting for years to see, but it is nice to see Firefox keeping up with the competition and adding this feature in. With this new mode (coming to Firefox 3.1) your browsing, cookies, temporary files, [...]
So what type of questions would you have for the mind behind NoScript? I recently got to chat with Giorgio Maone, the creator of possibly the most popular security related extension for Firefox.
Why would the random Firefox user off the street be using NoScript?
Firefox is an extremely safe browser, because it can take advantage [...]
Here is an interesting update that seems to be drawing a little heat from the Web at large. Depending on your Internet settings (from Control Panel > Internet Options) you might have issues with some downloads being blocked.
Here is what Mozilla has to say about the issue.
Starting in Firefox 3, downloads of executable files [...]
The latest version of Firefox is out and patches a few holes here and there in our favorite browser. Here is the official word from Mozilla:
We strongly recommend that all Firefox users upgrade to this latest release. If you already have Firefox 3.0, you will receive an automated update notification within 24 to 48 hours. [...]

Taking a deeper look at the new site identification button inside of Firefox 3, dria.org does a good job at taking it apart and showing you what it is all about. Honestly, it takes the padlock in browsers past and puts a whole new useful spin on it. No longer is it just a [...]
Like many of the rest of you out there, I love hacking around with web sites and adding functionality to Firefox by plugging in a few Greasemonkey scripts. Do you know what to watch out for when Greasemonkey scripts go bad? You have probably seen the warning up on UserScripts.org but I wanted to touch [...]
The fact that Firefox’s show passwords option is so easy to reach is often a godsend for me because more often than not I forget which login I used with which web site.
If your PC is used by more than one person though there is a security issue you may need to worry about [...]
Still haven’t seen many, but hope to see more. What am I concerned with? Classic Firefox 2 themes that we have all known and loved on Firefox 3. It is not secret that news about themes have dropped some here and elsewhere due to the change from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 [...]
