Mozilla: 2 billion Firefox add-ons downloaded

,----[ Quote ]
| Although Firefox is falling behind the 
| alternatives in some key areas like 
| performance, the open source browser still 
| delivers peerless flexibility with a rich 
| add-on system and unrivaled support for 
| extensibility. Mozilla's curated extension 
| archive has over 60,000 add-ons that have 
| been contributed by third-party 
| developers.

KidZui Internet For Kids Firefox Extension Works Like a Charm in Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| KidZui turns Firefox into fun, kid-safe 
| browser and online playground for kids in 
| the age group 3-12, with over a million 
| kids games, YouTube videos, and websites. 
| Or in other words, KidZui Firefox 
| extension turns Firefox into a place where 
| your kids would love to be. With Internet 
| becoming such a useful tool for people of 
| all ages, it is unfair to block Internet 
| access to your toddlers and KidZui is 
| exactly what you want to ensure safety of 
| your kids from the hidden dangers of the 
| Internet.

Sync 1.4 and the status bar

,----[ Quote ]
| As we move closer to inclusion in Firefox 
| 4, and the add-on continues to become more 
| performant and stable, we feel it is the 
| right time to move the UI into the 
| background. An important factor in this 
| decision is that we will be tuning Sync to 
| update smaller chunks, more frequently, 
| when youâre actually using a particular 
| device. Currently we default to hourly 
| syncs between multiple computers, which is 
| something that will change very soon. At a 
| greatly-increased frequency, the visual 
| distraction (and the performance overhead 
| of continuous UI updates) was not going to 
| be acceptable, so we needed to make 
| changes. That said, no first attempt is 
| perfect, and we still have work to do on 
| the concerns noted above.
