A Smörgåsbord of Firefox related news items from the past couple weeks. Fake PayPal screen dupes IE, Safari, Chrome – Microsoft Blog/Seattle PI Sadly it is stores like these that give PayPal a bad reputation as being associated with fraud and theft. But it is not PayPal’s fault. Most of the fault comes down to the uneducated web user who don’t take a quick moment to review the address bar for https as well as making sure they are really at PayPal.com and to look for the secure ‘padlock” (also in IE7 and Firefox the address bar will have a…
Over the past few weeks there has been a decline in the number of post on the blog. I’ve been trying to post at least the Mozilla Project Weekly Status posts each week and if there is new info, the Firefox Release Recaps.

It appears it may have started earlier in the week before the 3.5pre release and is related to tinyMICE, as a couple of…
I updated to Shiretoko (Firefox 3.5 developmental) version3.5 pre last night. This marks the en dof the Beta builds for Firefox 3.5 and means there should be an upcoming Release Candidate soon. Everything for the most part went as expected with this update including about 1/3 of my add-ons becoming disabled. The add-ons all appear to be working fine now once they were force installed via the Nightly Tester Tools. However, when I went to compose a blog post in Firefox 3.5, I could not get the ‘Visual’ editor to work correctly. No, it did not crash my browser like…
