Firefox Has A New Look
Firefox 29 was released yesterday and it’s sporting a spiffy new look. If you already use Firefox for Android, you’ll notice that it resembles the mobile version more closely now.
Firefox Add-ons
As many of you already know, my browser of preference is Mozilla Firefox. Although Internet Explorer 9 has come a long way and is a fantastic browser, the customization available to Firefox through it’s thousands of Add-ons always has me returning to it as my primary browser.
What do Add-ons do?
They add additional features to your browser and allow you to customize your browsing experience.
Firefox has plenty of add-ons, grouped into 14 Categories, available at the Mozilla Add-ons website.
Firefox 10
Mozilla has just released Firefox 10. If you’re using an older version, now is the perfect time to upgrade. Firefox 10 is much faster than it’s predecessors, more secure, uses less memory and is more stable as well.
To upgrade just go to Help, About Firefox and click the Check for Update button. Firefox will download the update and you will be prompted to install the latest version.
If you don’t currently use Firefox and want to see what all the fanfare is about, you can read more (and download it) at the Mozilla Firefox website.
Firefox 3.5 Released
The newest version of Firefox has arrived. Firefox 3.5 boasts improved anti-phishing, anti-malware, bookmark organization, session restore and is actually faster than previous versions. It also includes a new Private Browsing mode similar to Internet Explorer 8's InPrivate.

Firefox 3 Rocks
After much fanfare, Firefox 3 was released June 16th and was downloaded more than 8 million times during the first 24 hours alone. I was one of those who installed it within hours of it's release and I'm having a great experience so far. The most notable improvement for me is the increased speed and performance.
