To all those Firefox fans out there also having an Android phone there is good news. Mozilla just announced the release of the Firefox 4 Beta 1 for Android. The app is called Fennec [I guess I recall talking about it ages back] and is available for download at the Mozilla Site, which should ensure that it is official [I get a lot of emails and questions about an app being official or not]. You can download Firefox 4 Beta 1 here and take your Firefox anywhere.

How do you keep users glued to your service or tool? Give them features that they find impossible to resist and are highly in demand. Firefox has kept a tab on such user needs, evolving continually, the release of the Firefox 4 has something similar to offer; Tab Candy.
That would also be called the Firefox Panorama, and has been in tests for quite some but previous tries had been wobbly. The current version is more stable and lets you place all those messy tabs in a more organized manner. The idea is to give you a neater summary of what pages you are browsing, letting you zoom in with the Panorama button or simply view a more compactly organized tabs. I recall something similar on some other OS.. Expose on the Macs?

The Browser wars have only just begun, I mean I won’t call them as old and ancient as the Microsoft Internet Explorer. The browser that has seen its highs and lows throughout its history has turned fifteen, making it the eldest in the Browser community. I am not sure how many of you still use the Internet Explorer, I for one haven’t used it for the last one year [regularly].
I guess the major issue with IE has been the security flaws and the long stretch of the IE6 that, if I am not wrong would have never got an update if sites and people hadn’t shown their disgust over it. However there has been a comeback of sort, with the latest releases of the Internet Explorer steadily gaining market share in the couple of months [via Net Applications], where as the likes of Firefox, Google Chrome have all lost shares.

I for one need to do spend a lot of time on Google searching for various research reports, images, etc. And like most users, it isn’t surprising I too come across numerous malicious links. These include fake videos, images, spam sites and what not. The problem is antivirus and detection services don’t provide an ultimate solution, however we are looking forward to better secure ourselves. Zscaler, a leader in cloud security answered our question on how to protect ourselves against SEO spam with a Firefox add-on and is called Search Engine Security.
The plugin would protect users from most of the malware out there including fake AV and fake video pages. You can download Search Engine Security here.

There is nothing better than easing the process of how you use your device or a service, platform in particular and it gets even more interesting if its about the favorite social network: Facebook. There is so much one would want to do right from the menus on the browser instead of switching the tabs, etc. The Facebook toolbar for Firefox is one of the ways you can do the same with.
Simply download the add-on for the browser and you have the most frequently used Facebook options at your disposal. It confines all the Facebook Functionality as a toolbar and drop down menu and lets you be in control of the social network without having any window opened. The toolbar lets you do numerous things with just clicks of the mouse no matter if you are on YouTube watching a video, or reading your favorite article somewhere and feel like sharing it with your friends on Facebook. Just click on the toolbar and select the option you would like to make use of. Following are some of the things you can do with the toolbar:

Good news for the F’s on the Web. No No, don’t take me wrong here, I wasn’t cursing, but referring to Facebook and Firefox. While Facebook has crossed the 350 Million users, Firefox has taken the lead in the German Browser market. The open source browser crawled past the Internet Explorer which has 44.4% share, just a bit behind Firefox that stands at 45.6%. That analysis includes all versions of the Internet Explorer and Firefox and I bet this is just the beginning of it, country after another, Firefox and others will continue to rise in share country after country. This is important, I mean who uses the Internet Explorer?
