Mozilla Firefox is a web browser, gopher client and FTP client project descended from the Mozilla Application Suite, managed by the Mozilla Corporation. Firefox had 16.80% of the recorded market share... More
In the beginning, there was Netscape and its Navigator — perhaps not exactly the beginning, but close enough. Then came Microsoft and Internet Explorer, launching the first browser war, and eventually, the death of Netscape and a massive anti-trust trial for Microsoft. IE has retained the market dominance it gained by Netscape's downfall to the present day.
There are challenges to the market leader, however — serious challengers, particularly Mozilla's Firefox, which has steadily gained against IE over the past five years. Like the mythical son who avenges his father, Firefox — a descendant of the Netscape codebase — appears to have finally won at least a symbolic victory, as Firefox 3.5 has overtaken Internet Explorer 7 as the world's most popular browser.
Nobody wants to find out his or her house is full of bugs, and that goes for software developers and their digital homes as well. The way each responds says a lot about how they feel about others, whether that means hiding the bugs under the rug, behind proprietary code, or actually taking the time to squash them. Unfortunately, dedicated squashing means admitting there are bugs to squash, something that is way too easy to take out of context.
Google has enormous reach already, and is reaching further into people's online experience. It's little wonder, then, that people would like to be reassured that Google plans to respect their privacy. Google CEO Eric Schmidt's recent comments on privacy are doing the opposite.
On a CNBC special, Schmidt says "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." He goes on to advise that -- as users should know -- search engines retain information that users should be wary of. Not surprisingly, the response has not gone over well with the open source community that tends to value privacy very highly.
i was trying to use a bot in mobster on myspace cant seen to get them working
Firefox 3.5 has been great but more than half my Firefox plug-ins are broken! Add-Ons like Alexa sparky and Google desktop search haven't been working since I installed v 3.5 about a week ago. At first I thought it was simply a matter of time before Alexa, Google and others updated them and today when I went to the Firefox add-on site - I found out that they already have versions that are compatible with 3.5!!
I've gone in and uninstalled the old versions and added the new versions but HAS to be an easier/automated way to do this! Is it something I'm missing??
I have installed chrome last week.. It was working fine at that time. There was a torjan/virus infection on my winlogon.exe recently and I realized this when I have to start my computer two times, in order to succesffully login to the system.. Anyway AVG antivirus has found and cleaned the virus. I made a full system search with it and also used Spyware Doctor for a possible spyware infection too.. Now as far as I see there is nothing in the system.. However chrome started to not work on any site giving the error belows. iexplorer and firefox seems to be working on some basic sites and for some others giving "Content Encoding Error".(Eventhough I have reinstalled them)
Chrom is giving (net::ERR_FAILED): for all sites... I don't want to reinstall whole system just for this strange situation. any suggestions?
I noticed that sometimes a cached object doesn't show up in the Net tab that it was loaded and other times it shows up as a HTTP 304 response. Does anyone know what causes the difference between the two?
