Netscape 7: Apparently, It Was Only Pining For the Fjords (March 30, 2004)

The Inquirer is reporting that AOL has reversed itself and will release a new version of Netscape 7.x, based on the latest Mozilla.org code base. Which would be good since Netscape 7 hasn’t seen an update since mid-2003 or so. Has AOL confirmed this anywhere?

Transparent Browser Upgrades (June 2, 2003)

My colleague Oscar Merida has some thoughts on convincing people to upgrade to Mozilla Firebird from IE: I’ve been installing Mozilla and related projects on friend’s and family’s PCs for a while now to help them upgrade. I don’t think you even really need to mention that its not IE, just say – want me […]

Spolsky Makes the Switch (June 1, 2003)

Well, I never thought I’d see this, that’s for sure — Joel Spolsky, head of Fog Creek Software and a former Microsoft development manager, has decided to switch to Mozilla Firebird as his default browser. Wow! Spolsky has caught plenty of heat over the years for his Microsoft advocacy, so it warms my heart to […]

Mozilla 1.4 RC1 Released (May 30, 2003)

Those of you who haven’t made the switch to Mozilla Firebird yet should know that Mozilla Suite 1.4 Release Candidate 1 was unleashed on the world today. Lots of improvements — especially if you’re using a version older than 1.3 (junk mail filtering 0wnZ spam!).

Firebird Observations (May 19, 2003)

Couple of random observations following my previous post about the launch of Mozilla Firebird 0.6… First, Asa Dotzler, one of the Browser Gods from mozilla.org, was kind enough to include me in his roundup of what people are saying about Firebird. Thanks, Asa! Second, I had an interesting conversation with a friend this weekend about […]

Mozilla Firebird 0.6 Released (May 17, 2003)

Mozilla.org has just released the newest version of their browser-only offering, Mozilla Firebird 0.6. If you haven’t tried Firebird yet (or, God forbid, if you’re still on IE), go now and download it! It’s got all the goodness of Mozilla, without all the bloat — Firebird leaves out the mail reader, IRC client, etc. that […]

Mozilla Extensions I Can’t Live Without (April 9, 2003)

You owe it to yourself to check these out if you haven’t already: PrefBar — easily toggle preferences on and off right from the main browser window CookieBar — see all your cookies in a sidebar tab, and kill the ones you don’t want (I’m looking at you DoubleClick!) RadialContext — you have NO IDEA […]
