Tag: FIREFOX4.0

This week has produced some fantastic Firefox news. That's a good thing, but because we covered it all on Download Squad in a timely fashion, it leaves me with a bit of a problem: there's no new news to share with you. I've been left with producing a round-up for this week's Firefox column. I've never done a round-up before, but I'm sure it'll be good. I think I'm meant to take each nibble of ...

These Firefox Friday titles are really getting out of hand. Perhaps I should shorten them... or simply use more buzzwords... and square brackets (Firefox Friday Five [FEATURE]: news round-up, 2 billion incentivized [ADD-ON] downloads...) Still, at least you know, at a glance, exactly what you're getting. There'll be none of that sensational 'look at me!' crap here on Download Squad. Moving ...

I just glanced at the world weather forecast and it seems, somehow, that it is sunny EVERYWHERE. Unless you're reading this in India or China, in which case the sun has already set -- but that's beyond the point!

After last week's positively snooze-worthy releases from Mozilla, this week has been much more exciting. Not only do we have tons of news from Mozilla Labs, but we also have new versions of Firefox to play around with AND some cool new add-ons!

There wasn't much Firefox news this week I'm afraid, but I've done my best to scrape together five fairly-interesting tidbits. Let's start with a neat tip: 1. Overriding the add-on compatibility/version check Most of you ...

A new plugin and companion theme is promising to make your Firefox a little futuristic. Thanks to a Firefox lover from Australia, you can make your browser look like the proposed designs for version 3.7 and 4.0. While both are nowhere near ready for release, there have been some interesting mock-ups and proposals for what it will look like. To take a look today, install his Strata40 theme ...

Just when we thought Mozilla was getting Firefox 3.6 back on track to meet its December 2009 deadline, it looks like the release schedule has been extended again. Firefox 3.6, the next version of the browser, is now aimed for "early 2010." Firefox 4.0 has also been pushed back from its original target of 2010, and is now due in "late 2010/early 2011." However, a beta of Firefox 4 is scheduled ...
