If you've been on the fence about upgrading to Firefox 3.0, Mozilla is planning to give you a little nudge. Sometime within the next week, people using Firefox 2.0.0.16 will see a request to upgrade and though you'll have the option to decline, it's likely Firefox will ask again anyway.

How Will Mozilla's Fennec Mobile Browser Look and Feel?

6 comments
As we wrote about the other day, Mozilla has reached a sixth developer milestone for its Fennec browser--intended for mobile handsets and platforms. Fennec (the word means small fox ) is a very critical browser in Mozilla's overall strategy, and we've written about why before. It's slated to be available for the upcoming wave of Linux- and Android-based mobile handsets due out later this year, where it could be a key open source application for them. As part of its concept series of videos and screencasts, there is a screencast illustrating how some of the user interface for Fennec may work in the final version. Here's what it looks like.

In its about:Mozilla newsletter, the company has announced that a new version of the Camino browser is available (it's developed by the Camino Project, but is based on Mozilla's Gecko layout engine). Many Mac users love Camino for its lickety-split performance. Mozilla has also confirmed that a sixth milestone version of its upcoming mobile browser, dubbed Fennec, is out. And, as ZDNet reports, the beta of the next version of Firefox--version 3.1--has been delayed from August 19th until September 9th. Here are the details.

Another Linux Distro for Asus' Eee PC Laptops: eeebuntu

0 comments
Our sister blog jkOnTheRun has a good story about eeebuntu, a new Ubuntu Linux distribution that is specifically customized for Asus' popular Eee PC laptops. You can go with the snazzy Compiz Fusion enabled GNOME version or go plain-vanilla with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix packages. You can get the distro here, and you can quickly return to the Eee PC's normal Xandros Linux if you want. Quite a bit of open source software comes with eeebuntu, including Working WiFi, OpenOffice, Pidgin, Skype, Firefox 3.0.1, and the VLC media player. Those little Eee PCs are a steal at around $350, by the way. I have one. Check out jkOnTheRun's thoughts, with video.

Sleipnir Browser Straddles Firefox & IE Rendering

5 comments
After reading an interesting writeup on it on Download Squad, I've been working with an alternative browser that you may very well have never heard of: Sleipnir. It's a very popular browser in Japan, from a company called Fenrir. The reason it got my attention is it's an extremely customizable browser, and it allows you to choose whether you want to use Firefox's Gecko rendering engine or Internet Explorer's. If you, as I do, primarily work in Firefox but keep Internet Explorer on hand when you run into trouble such as rendering problems, this browser presents an interesting solution.
