Yahoo Recommends Firefox 3 Over IE7

Mitch — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:16:30 +0000

Filed under the “whoops! sorry about that!” department of PR over at Yahoo (then again, they haven’t changed it yet either). It appears when you go to Yahoo.com via Internet Explorer 7, you are given a message to upgrade to Firefox 3. How nice of them…

Thanks Yahoo, I am sure Mozilla and the Firefox team appreciates the support!

Your Addons Ready for Firefox 3?

Mitch — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 10:00:19 +0000

How many of the extensions you use are ready for Firefox 3? Sure it has not been released just yet but now is the time to get the work done early to make sure that when Firefox 3 is released your favorite addons will work. I know of several great extension authors who have already made the leap and others are in the progress of doing so.

Are you worried that your extensions you use won’t work when Firefox 3 goes into it’s final release? Will it stop you from going to Firefox 3 if all your favorite addons are not working?

End of Days for Firefox 1.5

Mitch — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 11:36:01 +0000

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?

New Tab Button

Mitch — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 10:10:25 +0000

Have you upgraded to Firefox 2 yet? Some people have contacted me asking how they get the “new tab” button back after they make the leap to the newer version. I have not found a hack to do it, but I have found an extension. The New Tab Button on Tab Bar extension gives you back that little button you know and love from Firefox 1.5.
