About a year ago Google offered new referral program for Adsense - Firefox with Google Toolbar. If you referred people to download and install a fresh copy of Firefox with Google Toolbar, you would get 1$. There were also scripts like “Internet Explorer killer” that was showing banners to clients with Internet Explorer encouraging them to use Firefox. I`ve earned some bucks with this referral program, but lately I`ve noticed, that earnings have decreased pretty much.
Firefox 2.0 is out! Although not mentioned on www.mozilla.com (webpages still state 1.5 and RC versions), you can get a fresh copy using the link below.
A few extensions I use are not compatible with the new Firefox, but most work okay. The ones that do not work for now:
Animated favicon is supported only by Firefox, for now. (Are you still using Internet Explorer??
)
Animated favicons are stored in .gif image. You can see an example of animated icon at information security awareness blog , it shows in the address bar and on the tab. You can create it yourself using some gif animation software or exporting from Adobe Flash (I do it). When you have your gif icon ready, upload both “favicon.ico” and “favicon.gif” to your web root folder, then add this code to your webpage somewhere between <head> and </head> tags:
Firefox 2 beta 1 is out! You can download Portable Firefox 2 beta or normal versions. The portable version allows you to use it without affecting your current Firefox installation. It allows you to keep all your profile data in one folder, not spread all over your windows drive (program files, documents and settings, etc). You can keep it on usb flash disk and get all your extensions/bookmarks with you wherever you go! (You can also get Portable Firefox 1.5.0.4).
The new features of Firefox include:
I`m a enthusiastic Firefox user since it`s early days and I was really pleased with its “tabbing” capabilities. When Opera 8 was released, I decided to give it a try. Opera was fun - fast, intuitive, attracting, full of features. The feature I liked the most was saved sessions - when you closed the browser, it saved your open tabs, so you can get back to them next time you launch your browser. But Opera had some minor problems - it didn`t render all Flash pages correctly. As I am a Flash desiger/programmer, this was hard time for me, so i got back to Firefox. But I couldnt live without saving my tabs anymore, so I searched for Firefox extensions that would do the job and I found it - SessionSaver! It really does the job! It allows you to save different sessions, export sessions with settings so you can import it on another Firefox installation. It also allows you to get back to accidentally closed tabs (like Ctrl+Z in Opera).
