OK, to Firefox again or not. Safer now or not. Lets see.


Don't read this blog, have it read to you by using the opera browser. The safest browser you can use.


Yesterday was the FireFox big "Download Day" and they did real good. But is the browser that I once loved back to something to be loved again.

"The new version of the Firefox Web browser was downloaded more than 8 million times in the first 24 hours it was available, the software's developers said Wednesday." per AP.

Firefox comes from Mozilla, an open-source community in which thousands of people, mostly volunteers, collectively develop free products. Firefox is the No. 2 Web browser behind Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer.

Firefox 3 includes enhancements to help users organize their frequently visited Web sites and block access to sites known to distribute viruses and other malicious software.

Users of Yahoo Inc.'s mail service can also use Firefox 3 to send e-mail by clicking a "mailto" link they might come across clicking on a name or a "contact us" link on a Web page. Previously such links could only open a standalone, desktop e-mail program.

Firefox 3 also offers other design and speed improvements.

I'll do my usual thing and wait and listen and investigate for awhile yet. But if you feel like going for it now, http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
