Tekfix, an Australian computer hardware and electronics retailer, has an interesting discount [press release]:
To get the 5% off, Firefox users have to enter coupon code firefoxed in the appropriate field during checkout.
Nice initiative.
However, I wonder why they haven't chosen to let their shop do a browser check, instead of just telling people to enter [...]

During my last round in Google Reader I noticed this post from David Boswell.
As you can see, the Mozilla [Wikipedia] has its 10 year birthday on March 31st. That means that it 10 years (yeah, well d'oh!) ago, that Netcape [Wikipedia] released the source code into the wild.
Just a tip for your calendar ;-)

I've been using the latest trunk (nightly) version of the Firefox 3 browser for some time now. But it wasn't until recently that I discovered, that it had disabled two of my extensions:

CoLT
TinyUrl Creator

The reason was that the extensions didn't provide secure updates, probably to avoid fraud. I checked addons.mozilla.org and noticed, that the entire [...]

I've mentioned the Firefox extension 'ChromaTabs' earlier.
Well, now I've tested in, and even though I'm sure it's a really good feature for some, I just couldn't get used to it. It was too hard to see which tab was the active one, and in the end the various colors faded into a palette, where I [...]

As you may or may not know, I use the social browser Flock and loving it — except it doesn't support WordPress' tagging system :-( — but today I noticed something strange.
In my Facebook people sidebar in Flock all of my friends' statuses what suddenly saying "is is" instead of just "is". For instance: "Søren [...]

And I owe it all to the new beta (release candidate 3) of the social browser Flock.
I've been testing the beta for some time now, but it wasn't until now that I discovered the actual power of the People sidebar. Whenever people update their profile on Facebook, the sidebar updates itself. I can also choose [...]

After running alpha builds of the 1.1 I just got my invitation to the private beta of the upcoming 1.0 version of the social web browser Flock.
Duncan Riley at TechCrunch feels the same way about Flock 1.0 as I do: Flock 1.0 Beta Released: Surprisingly Very Good
I'm not going to go further into the functionality [...]

Via the Danish version of Computerworld I've found out that Mozilla is opening development offices in Copenhagen, Denmark. Exciting!
What's more exciting is, that they'll begin working on a mobile version of Firefox, when Firefox 3 is released.

The Flock team has introduced the 1.0 version of the social web browser at TechCrunch 40.
One of the new features in the new version, that I've had the change to test in a nightly build of Flock, is the People sidebar. What is basically does is, that it, for instance, shows your Facebook friends in [...]
