Mozilla Fixes Firefox Flaw, But Needs New Security Practices

0 comments
As we reported on WebWorkerDaily yesterday, Mozilla has issued critical security advisories that affect several of its products, including versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey. Late yesterday, Mozilla released a new version 3.0.1 of Firefox that patches security flaws, and you can download it now. You can also get the new version, if you have Firefox 3 running, by clicking on the Check for Updates option on the browser's Help menu. What's still due from Mozilla, in terms of fixes, and what's missing from the security practices the company followed here?

Google Browser Sync Revived and Released as an Open Source Plugin

0 comments
Google Browser Sync was a reasonably popular Firefox 2.0 add-on from Google Labs. Like Mozilla's Weave (which is still having some early teething pains), Browser Sync was designed for people using Firefox on more than one machine, keeping bookmarks, history, and saved passwords the same on those machines. But you'll notice the past tense: for whatever reason, Google decided not to update Browser Sync for Firefox 3.0, and discontinued the project last month.

Pencil: An Interesting Drawing Add-On for Firefox 3

0 comments
The other day, we covered Firefox extensions for those tinkering with the new version 3 of the browser. Now, Webworkerdaily has a highly interesting addition to our list: Pencil--a Firefox extension that requires the new version 3.? By coupling the Gecko drawing engine with the ability to display, save, and load an external canvas, together with a palette of shapes, Pencil installs an entire drawing application into your Firefox browser, notes WWD. As is true of Dia, Pencil works, in some ways, similarly to Microsoft's Visio visualization application. Check out WWD's experience with it.
