Over the new years weekend, Mozilla released RC1 of the mobile version of their popular browser Firefox. Firefox for Maemo is part of Mozilla’s ongoing attempt to bring the Mozilla Gecko platform to mobile devices that has been in the works for years. This brings more browser choices to the mobile platforms of today and [...]
Today, Mac users can now enjoy the Firefox 4.0 look on Firefox 3.6. With the release of Firefox 3.6 close, this theme will be a nice addition to it’s release. To top it off, this theme support the Strata Home Tab extension to complete the look.
Over at the design-noir Blog, it seems someone noticed that the new Opera 10.5 pre-alpha appears a little familiar. With Firefox 4.0 a ways away, but still in the minds of people such as the author of Strata40 and StrataBuddy, it seems that the new look is already a hit. Now Opera wants to try [...]

I’ve been running the betas of Firefox 3.6 my MacBook Pro and my Windows 7 PC, and both seem to have been doing pretty well with it. Looks really good so far, but it seems Mozilla says there is still work to be done.
Overall, Firefox 3.6 doesn’t really show off any new features at [...]
After using Strata40 and Strata Buddy on my Windows computers, I really wanted to have a somewhat similar theme for Mac OS X on my MacBook Pro. Well, I looked and did not find one, so instead of waiting, I decided to start a Strata 3.7 / 4.0 theme for the Mac version of Firefox. [...]
With all the buzz about the mockups for Mozilla’s upcoming versions of Firefox, people just can’t wait to make their copy look that cool. Well, recently a theme called Strata40 by SpewBoy attempts to capture that new look. It provides the same clean look that Firefox 3.7 and 4.o hope to ship with.
This new [...]

Today Mozilla released a minor update to Firefox 3.5. This new version fixes several security issues and provide few stability, usability, and performance enhancements.

I’m using FireFox Preloader because it loads FF at startup.
When there is an update, I close FireFox Preloader, update FF and once that is done I restart FireFox Preloader.
It works like a charm!

Hi, Firefox Preloader is a great piece of software, there’s only that problem with updating. On older PCs Firefox Preloader can save life. It’s so true that I even turned off automatic update on some, better do it with hand, but Preloader must be there.
I tested Minimize To Tray but it does a different task. You can minimize Firefox windows to tray and bring them back up, but it’s not what I want to do. Firefox Preloader is better because people can close Firefox, do other things, then start Firefox again, and it starts fast. It’s the most ace card against IE. Thanks for reading.

the only problem the firefox preloader has is with the 2.0 added in session restore. if you disable the session restore then it works perfectly fine.

Hi Matt,
Recently discovered Winfox and Firefox Preloader. While its outdated (and initially I was confused by the incompatibility with software updates) it still works and I love the snappy load of FF. MTT doesn’t give me that.
Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your work.
