If you’re tired of having to visit your favorite social network, whenever you want to message friends or share content, why not have the network come to you for a change?
That’s exactly what Mozilla has planned with their Mozilla Labs experiment, “The Coop“. The Coop is a Firefox browser extension that places the social network exactly where you’d use it the most - your browser.
We want to create a fun and easy way t

Hi all,
 
This is no April Fool’s joke ;)  ;  the Live Search team has just released a dozen new enhancements for its Live Search Maps service available at maps.live.com!
 
Firefox users now have their own plug-in to use 3-D! Customers complained; we listened. Zooming around the virtual landscape is not just for Internet Explorer Users any more; users of Firefox 1.5 or later can click on the 3D button at http://maps.live.com

The power struggle between Yahoo and Google for your desktop just took an evil turn, with evidence that suggests Yahoo is covertly trying to switch Google search users without their explicit permission.
Over email, Jarrod Hunt of Text Link Brokers explained how a recent upgrade to Yahoo Messenger includes an innocuous “auto-update” option

This is another post in the “IE 7 Sucks” series. This time, I’ve been poking around at data that suggests IE 7 really is crap, and it’s not just readers of Marketing Pilgrim, that think so.
Taking a look at Opinmind, we learn that only 24% of bloggers have a positive sentiment towards Internet Explorer, compared to 69% positive with Firefox.
Switching to Technorati, we discover 632 bloggers have stated “internet explorer sucks“, compared to 274 who think the same of Firefox.
Using Google Trends, it’s clear that more people are looking to download Firefox, compared to IE

TechCrunch has details of a developing story involving the Gmail accounts of 60 users who found all emails deleted due to a suspected breach in FireFox.
Now here’s the catch-22 for Google. Supposedly, once an email is deleted in Gmail, it is gone forever. That keeps the privacy conspiracy theorists happy

It looks like Firefox plans to capitalize in its recent surge in popularity by airing fan-based television commercials, according to Read/WriteWeb.
The ads will initially appear only to viewers in the San Francisco and Boston area, but will likely expand to other areas over time. Each ad will focus on the theme that Firefox is “the safest, fastest and most enjoyable way to experience the Web,” and will be sponsored by users and fans of the browser - (each contributing upwards of $10 of their own cash to help pay for the ads).
So, who does Firefox hope to target with the TV ads?
…they’re going after prime time cable channels like Comedy Central, ESPN, TNT, History Channel, USA, and MTV

I’ve noticed a dramatic increase, over the past few weeks, in the number of people visiting my rant about just how bad IE 7 is. It’s consistently been one of my most visited posts, but as Microsoft rolls out the upgrade to more and more IE users, I’m seeing a direct correlation in the number of complaints.
Here’s a snapshot of the increase in people visiting my IE 7 complaint post.

Has Microsoft rolled-out an inferior, bug-ridden product too hastily, in an effort to try

To use these custom userstyles, download and install the Stylish Firefox extension, and paste them into a newly created blank style. Alternatively, you can paste them into your userChrome.css file located in your Firefox profile folder. [Continue Reading >>]

It’s known that Google has a good relationship with Firefox - hire Firefox developer to continue their work, pay people to promote Firefox(AdSense), blah blah… One thing I didn’t know that there’s list of versions of Firefox in Mozilla’s FTP under Partner->Google.
I am not sure what are the differences between the original-recipe Firefox and the Google-taste Firefox, and I am not going to install it now, but I will test somewhere else today
