Mozilla has released its latest version of the Firefox 4 Beta, with the updated browser packing a truckload of bug fixes and some mighty impressive mullti-touch functionality.
Microsoft continues to revive the fortunes of its once-ailing Internet Explorer (IE), with new figures from NetMarketShare reporting that the browser has increased its share of the browser market in by 0.42 per cent in July to bag a total share of 60.74 per cent.
If you’re an iPhone owner and Firefox is your desktop browser of choice, there’s good news in store, as Apple has accepted a new application called ‘Firefox Home‘ to the App Store.
Once the mighty, all-conquering colossus of internet browsers, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer continues to lose its market share, with new data on browser use trends revealing that it’s now used by less than 6 out of 10 surfers.
Thanks to Steve Jobs’ iron-like grip on what is allowed in Apple’s AppStore, it’s unlikely we’ll ever see a version of the massively popular Firefox browser running on an iPhone – which makes it a pain for Firefox users to sync their bookmarks.
It’s taken a while to get drrssed, but the latest 3.6 version of Firefox has finally rocked into town.
Promising nippier performance, natty one-click themes, safer add-ons and plug-ins, improved font handling and other life enhancing properties the browser is now ready for your downloading pleasure.
Mozilla Thunderbird, the free email client produced by the makers of the Firefox browser, has recently undergone some important revisions, and is now available as Thunderbird 3.0 RC1.
RC stands for Release Candidate, meaning that this version of Thunderbird 3 is designed for testing, and might still have a few bugs, so don’t install it in production environments.
I’ve been using Thunderbird 3 in its various Beta iterations for a while, and have now updated to RC1, and I believe that this latest version of the popular email client is a considerable improvement over its predecessors.
Launched on November 9, 2004, the web browser Firefox is now five years old.
Starting life as an experimental arm of the Mozilla project, whose hefty suite of apps included a web browser, mail client, news reader, irc client and web page editor (Mozilla Composer), Firefox looked to offer a slimmed-down alternative to the wobbly lard of Internet Explorer.
