Been using Firefox 2.0b2 as my default browser now for the past couple days. So far, very good and I am discovering several little things. Those of you who use Firefox with Delphi Forums and WhiteMare’s WYSIWYG Editor, will be happy to hear that the Copy, Cut and Paste commands are on the context (right-click) menu. The Inline Spellcheck works (sort of) within Delphi Forums and the Editor. There are a couple places where it is not ‘activated’, these are in the subject field when starting a new thread or poll and when editing a message. To ‘activate’ the Inline…

I have been an avid user of Yahoo! for both e-mail as a web portal for many years now. However, Yahoo! tends to get ‘bogged down’ at times and there a lot of banners ads that even Firefox’s AdBlock Plus can not block. These banners are usually FLASH and even manage to get past the Flash Blocker as well. My Way is fast, free to use, free of banners, free of pop-ups and has tons more options for content then Yahoo! You can even create a My Way Page (just like the My Yahoo! Page), but with a much greater…

First, this isn’t really new news, the Thunderbird 2.0, Alpha 1 release has been out since July 27th. However, I been so busy testing, playing and but sadly NOT crashing FF 2.0, I’ve put Thunderbird on hold. Since I made Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 my default browser tonight (more on this soon), I decided to go ahead and get Thunderbird 2.0, Alpha 1 setup on my system. So, what’s new with Alpha 1? I wondered that myself so I took a look over at the Rumbling Edge’s Notable Bug Fixes and notice there are a few items.The most notable though…

Found this article tonight on the mozilla links blog. Mozilla Japan is presently holding a contest to name their new mascot (pictured below). While the mascot does fit well into the Mozilla as well as Japan’s Anime themes, I just think they are going to have a hard time having anyone take this seriously. While you’re at the site, check out the user comments and you’ll understand where I am coming from… Be sure to check out my follow-up post Update: Mozilla Japan’s New Mascot Permalink

While mozillaZine has not made an announcement yet, CyberNet Tech News has, Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 is out! A couple interesting changes in Beta 2, the new default theme or visual refresh is in place now. Also noticed a couple minor changes with the tab bar. After opening a certain number of tabs you will get arrows on either end to scroll through your open tabs. However, I much prefer the drop-down tab list (see below) over the arrows. Also, the session restore has been setup now to automatically restore where you left off in the event of a crash…

Per the Mozilla Developers Calendar, Firefox 2.0, Beta 2 was suppose to be released today after being delayed the last 3 weeks. So far there is no news from Mozilla. However, a quick Google News Search for ‘Firefox 2.0 Beta 2’ came up with an article from InfromationWeek: Barring more bugs, Firefox Beta 2 will release Thursday, Mozilla Corp. developers reported after a weekly status meeting held Tuesday. “[We are] on target to release Thursday, Aug. 31st assuming no stop-ship items [are] discovered,” the meeting’s online minutes read. For Mike Schroepfer’s sake (see the State of the Firefox) let’s hope…

If you have a high speed connection and some time to kill, check out the Mozilla Museum, a collection of pictures of Mozilla painted by Vincent van Mozh. There are tons of great Mozilla themed graphic, especially at this page (Warning: high speed connection recommended!) Here a few samples below:
