Note: If this page is displaying a bit funky hold the SHIFT key and click the ‘Reload’ button to force Firefox reload the page correctly. The Firefox Extension Guru’s Blog has a new theme! On December 7th, WordPress introduced a new three-column theme called 2813 (Twenty-eight Thirteen) . Normally, I’ve not been a fan of these three-column themes, but my side-bar content has become quite lengthy in the past few weeks.

Final version still a year away, developers say. Mozilla today hit an early milestone on the road to the next version of its open-source browser, but the final product is still a year away, developers say. The Mozilla team released its first alpha release of Firefox 3.0 today, giving Firefox and Web application developers an early look at the next-generation browser. This release is not intended for regular users, not even those who like to play around with early versions of a product, Mozilla said. News Source: PC World
I had first learned of the news about the Kim family being missing in Oregon from a posting on Mozilla Links shortly after the family went missing on November 29th.

On Tuesday, December 5th there was renewed hope as his wife and two daughters were found alive and well, however James was still missing. Sadly on Wednesday, December 6th, searchers found the body of James Kim in a rugged wilderness area…
I have had a few folks ask, “So Guru, what’s new with Firefox 3?” To be honest not a lot, there are a couple minor changes such as Advanced Microsummaries, Acid 2 Compliant and is being built on Gecko 1.9. However, I really couldn’t think of anything else. There is good reason for this, according to Mozilla Links: Firefox 3 Alpha 1 is also in Release Candidate status and expected in the next 2-3 weeks. It won’t feature any of the improvements expected for Firefox 3 like Places, the integrated bookmarks and history management interface, the Cairo graphics engine, not…

Our buddy Ryan at CyberNet News has way too much time on his hands which why we suspected something was up when he wasn’t posting much on the blog or the discussion forum on Tuesday. Well we learned today what he was up to, a little experiment he called Firefox 200. Ryan went through the Mozilla Extension (Firefox Add-Ons) page and installed the top 200 extensions. His article has several screenshots including the extensions list, toolbars and the Firefox ‘Tools’ menu. Surprisingly his Firefox stood up fairly well to his ‘extensions hurricane’. Warning: If you want to “try this at…
