Along with a fresh design, Mozilla Labs has also release Weave Prototype 0.2. What is Weave, you say? It is Mozilla’s answer to the problem of keeping all your bookmarks, history, passwords and more in sync across multiple computers.
So what is new in this 0.2 version of Weave?
- Intelligent scheduler for synchronization to improve performance.
- Expanded set of supported browser settings and metadata, including: Bookmarks, Browsing History, Cookies, Saved Passwords, Saved Form Data, and Tabs.
- Support for retrying failed network operations.
- New server format performs better when there are frequent changes (e.g., for history sync).
- Significant reworking of the startup experience, including a new Setup Wizard that performs account creation in chrome and allows for customization of settings.
- Improved error detection and handling.
- Notification dialog added to the status bar for displaying error, status and asynchronous events with or without required actions, e.g. authentication errors, notification of shares, etc.
Might be worth mentioning that they are still saying this version is for testing purposes only, so if Firefox later on kicks you in the head, points its browsing finger and laughs while your down, you were warned.
Ready to test it out? Then download Weave 0.2 here!
Here recently, I just switched from Google Browser Sync to Foxmarks. Once Weave gets all the kinks out though, I’ll probably be switching again because I really like the idea of having everything accessible no matter which PC I might be at. Check out the Weave 0.2 Release Notes for more information.

When it comes to tweaking some of the internals of Firefox, your average user won’t care that much - but for the graphic or photography nuts this next ‘bit of news should be exciting. It seems that the color profile support for Firefox 3 will be better. Although, the updated and upgraded is not enabled by default (due to resource issues) if you need it - it will be there.
This image above should give you a good idea of what you can look forward to once it is enabled. See how Firefox 3’s color representation and Photoshop are just about the same? I won’t lie, I am not as up on this color profile information as much as other may be so let me direct you to a great article that tackles this subject even deeper.
One thing that has always irritated me about looking at pictures on the web is that browsers don’t seem to display photographs properly. And by “photographs” I really mean “colors”. I spend a lot of time tweaking pictures in Photoshop, but when I upload them to my Flickr account and look at them in Firefox 2 the colors aren’t the same — they’re more washed out, dull, and lifeless. It’s a subtle thing, but annoying nonetheless.
You can check more out about Firefox 3’s color profile support and what to look forward to on Firefox 3: Color profile support (oh the pretty, pretty colors) (a great article by the way) via dria.org.

There is a lot of buzz going around about the Mozilla folks saying that Firefox 1.5 will only be maintained with security and stability updates until April 24, 2007.
I say this is good news!
Sure, the people holding out on Firefox 2 are going to be given a kick in the pants to upgrade, but having to support several older versions of a program can’t be easy for such a developing and always changing product like a browser. There are great things going on via the Web these days, and your browser is your portal to it. Don’t you want to use the latest and greatest?

A few people have asked me about adding text link ads via the Web site here, so I have done so. All you need to do is click this link and go through the order process. The price right now is $35 per link for an entire month. Not too shabby for one of the most popular Firefox blogs out there today.
+ Purchase Text Link Ads on FirefoxFacts.com!
I have room for four of them, so be sure to act quickly! The links will appear under the search box on every single page here on FirefoxFacts.com. Help support this Web site and get to purchasing.

Have one of those old “classic” operating systems lying around?
Despite installer issues, Firefox actually does work well when running under Windows 95, which is good news for people still running an operating system that Microsoft no longer supports.
