	More Info on firefox - - firfox - - firefix
		Mozilla Firefox retains the cross-platform nature of the original Mozilla browser by using the XUL user interface markup language.
		Firefox 1.5 also includes a backlog of bug fixes that were fixed between the 0.9 and the 1.0 release which were previously unavailable due to branching from the trunk around the 0.9 release.
		Firefox uses the same format to store users' profiles (which contain their personal browser settings) even on different operating systems, so a profile may be used on multiple platforms, so long as all of the platforms can access the profile (e.g., the profile is stored on a FAT32 partition accessible from both Windows and GNU/Linux).

	Features of Mozilla Firefox - The Web's Best Browser! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This is one of the criticisms of Firefox themes and extensions although the Firefox development team plan for functionability to allow extensions and themes to be installed without restarting in version 1.5.
		Firefox's toolbars and interface are customizable; users can move and manipulate the various buttons, fields, and menus on the toolbars, and also add new toolbars or delete existing ones.
		Firefox and Internet Explorer both employ graphical user interfaces (GUIs), and in both cases there is the risk that a user may be fooled by misunderstanding the interface or the displayed information in a way that puts them at risk (this is a general risk of GUI-based web browsers).

		Our download of Firefox took only a few seconds; the code is a svelte 6.2M in size.
		Firefox is an open-source program, which further distinguishes it from Internet Explorer and has both positive and potentially negative implications.
		Firefox is currently much safer to use than Internet Explorer, but it’s worth noting that Firefox’s greater security is mostly a function of Internet Explorer being a higher-profile target for hackers and the creators of worms, viruses and other malicious code.

		That doesn't mean Firefox will be regularly torn down and rebuilt from scratch, but it might mean stripping out code or shifting older features to optional installs rather than leaving it in the general code base.
		Not to say that Firefox is buggy, said Snyder as she defended the browser's security track record.
		Microsoft is regularly criticized for its long patch development and test processes; even when an exploit is actively circulating in the wild, Microsoft can take weeks to produce a patch.

	oreilly.com -- Online Catalog: Creating Applications with Mozilla
		One of Mozilla's biggest advantages for a developer is that Mozilla-based applications are cross-platform, meaning programs work the same on Windows as they do on Linux or the Mac OS.
		Mozilla 1.0 was released on June 5th, 2002, after more than four years of development as an open source project.
		The book's contents were written with Mozilla 1.0.x in mind, so it is important to be aware of this when trying to use more recent versions such as Mozilla 1.4 or one of the Phoenix/Firebird releases.

	Mozilla Firefox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Firefox is an open-source application, whose source-code is tri-licensed under the Mozilla Public License (MPL), GNU General Public License (GPL), and the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
		Mozilla Firefox as an end-user product however is licensed under the Mozilla EULA and contains several elements with copyright and trademark restrictions (amongst others the Firefox brand name and logo images) that do not fall under the tri-license.
		The FSF considers the official Firefox binaries released by Mozilla to not be free software because they include the proprietary crash reporter Talkback, have trademark restrictions on the Firefox name and artwork, and force the user to accept a clickwrap agreement (the latter only applies to the Windows version).

	2006 June » Download Firefox (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		One of the biggest disadvantages of using Mozilla Firefox is that any and every user of Mozilla Firefox can easily become used to the web browsing software application.
		However, one advantage that is often ignored is the fact that Mozilla Firefox is very suitable for a person who is beginning to learn to use the web browsing software application.
		One of the primary reason why Mozilla Firefox is suitable for the amateur or novice user is the fact that the layout of the web browsing window is such that it makes the user very comfortable.

	Firefox Myths
		Firefox has been my preferred browser for a very long time now - since the original milestone alphas in fact - but you can't beat plain common sense and decent evidence.
		Firefox IMO is an average web browser with a good extension system but it is not the fastest, most secure or most compliant.
		Firefox Fanboys are so scared people may actually read this page and make up their own minds that they have gone to great lengths to censor any discussion of this page.

		But the key is that Mozilla issues patches faster [than IE's once-per-month updates] and with their new updating system they can be delivered to the userbase quickly.
		If you are thinking about using Firefox in a business environment, searching Google for "Firefox" and "vulnerabilities" will probably find articles cautioning against it.
		Check the dates on the articles and the version of Firefox as it had critical vulnerabilities before version 1.04.

	Frank Hecker, Mozilla : Mozilla CA certificate policy approved
		Since that time a lot has happened; in particular the Mozilla Foundation reorganized to move its product development and distribution activities into the new Mozilla Corporation, and I took on a part-time position with the "new" Mozilla Foundation as Director of Policy.
		Note also that I intend to publish the policy to the official Mozilla Foundation web site, but haven't yet done so; I may postpone this until we complete the reorganization of the Mozilla web site.
		Thanks go to all the people on the n.p.m.crypto newsgroup and elsewhere who helped in the creation of this policy by providing their comments and criticisms.

		The efforts of the Mozilla developers community really needed a presentational refinement to be ready for the prime, and now they have it.
		The Firefox logo is good (interesting that the inspiration, seen here, looks so much like the Napster logo).
		I use Mozilla and Mozilla Firebird very long time and I think that the new name Firefox is better than Firebird.

		End user applications should not be open source for the world to manipulate, especially something so critical as a web browser.
		The Firefox limitations and security issues noted in the article are not all commonly known.
		Perhaps intentional lies are passed through the web community to convince people that FireFox was actually a superior product.

	Will Firefox Thrive as Mozilla Wilts?
		Chief among them: Mozilla is much easier to configure, and a single integrated suite of applications is simpler to deploy and manage in a business setting than multiple stand-alone apps.
		But it turns out that this argument is moot: The Mozilla Suite as we know it today won't be competing with Firefox for much longer because the Mozilla Foundation has decided to end development of the suite with the current 1.7 version.
		Also, the Mozilla code is open source, and there are already plans to continue its development outside the Mozilla Foundation, possibly using the Mozilla code name SeaMonkey as the moniker for the suite.

	FirefoxExtensionAddOn < Plugins < TWiki
		An extension for the Firefox web browser which makes editing of TWiki pages easier by providing a toolbar and new menu items in the context menu (right mouse key).
		In theory, it should also work with any Firefox starting with 0.9 on any platform by design.
		After installing the extension, the toolbar (shown above) should appear when your browser is restarted, and the version number shown on the Tools>Extensions pop-up should change.
