The Mozilla Foundation has released Firefox 2.0.0.8, introducing support for Mac OS X 10.5 'Leopard' in the release.
The company recommends all users install the update, which also implements security and stability improvements across all its supported operating systems -- Mac, Linux and Windows.
Firefox 2.x users will receive an automated update notification. The update can also be applied manually by selecting 'Check for Updates' from the Help menu.
The organization notes some issues remain when running Firefox on Mac OS X 10.5, principally affecting media players such as Flash and Java.

Password Security and Firefox
was recently asked the following question: How secure is Firefox's Password Manager? I wasn't entirely sure, so I went checking. Here's what I've found. All things considered, Firefox's Password Manager (PM) looks fairly secure. Given that the passwords are encrypted, they will be hard to recover. There is though, as the comments of this article point out, at least one security weakness in Firefox's Password Manager, but it should be fixed by the 2.0.0.2 release, which will be released sometimes later this month (or so they say). So I guess its not the end of the world.
About brute force password recovery tools (like FireMaster), well, I'm not sure what to think. As long as your Master Password is a good one, then I suppose it will probably have difficulty cracking it (am I right about this, anyone?). Maybe I'll try it out and see how long it takes for it to crack my own password. Anyway, if you want to be paranoid about it - it looks like the best solution I've seen is Passwordmaker, which generates random passwords for you, and the interesting thing is that it doesn't store any passwords on your computer at all, but rather - as I understand it - it generates them on-the-fly when you access your various sites.
The most hard-core way to go is TrueCrypt (though its not specifically Firefox related) and I've seriously been thinking about using it to encrypt my entire hard-drive. But at the very least, I use it to encrypt all the electronic texts of mine that have any sensitive info on them (like SS numbers, tax info, bank-account numbers

My Favorite Firefox Extensions
you use Firefox and haven't yet checked out the many add-ons that you can install into it, then I'd highly recommend trying (at least some of) the following. They really improve my browsing experience:
- Adblock Plus with Adblock Filterset.G Updater - Now you don't have to constantly be bombarded with ads when browsing around. Highly recommended! (Question: I feel bad for those sites that use ads in a responsible non-intrusive way. I guess I wish there was a version that would white-list those sites, because hey - we all need to earn money. Any suggestions?)
- Always Remember Password - If you use Yahoo email, then you know that they have disabled the ability for Firefox to save the password in the password manager causing you to have to type it every time. Well, now you don't.
- CacheViewer - Exactly what the title suggests. Its a bit rough around the edges, but at least it gives the ability to view your cache.
- del.icio.us Bookmarks - I've yet to be entirely satisfied with a way to organize bookmarks. This extension helps quite a bit. I'm also looking forward to what the new Firefox "places" improvements will add.
- DownloadHelper - download videos from the most popular sites like YouTube.
- DownThemAll! - Find a page where you want to download lots of things from a bunch of links. This will help.
- Firebug - This is a very impressive extension for anyone involved in web development.
- FireFTP - An FTP client in your web brower.
- Flashblock - Block annoying flash animations.
- Forecastfox - A nifty extension for knowing the weather.
- FoxyTunes - Use Firefox to control what your listening to.
- Gmail Space - Upload files to your gmail account.
- Greasemonkey - An extension for further extensions. Great if you think a site needs more functionality than it presently offers.
- IE Tab - Yes, its still the case that certain websites only support IE (unfortunately). Now you don't have to open IE in a separate window to view the page.
- Image Zoom - If an image is either to big or to small to see the way you want to see it, use this extension to zoom in or out.
- JumpKnowledge Webpage Annotator - Encounter something online that you feel you just got to comment on? Use this extension to annotate the web!
- Launchy
- LeechBlock - Visit certain sites too often when you're supposed to be working. This extension helps you to limit yourself.
- Save Session - Need to close your browser for some reason, but want it to remember which pages you were viewing when you open it back up next time. Here is the extension for you.
- ScribeFire - If you like to blog, then this is the best Firefox addon I've found for doing so. Very impressive!
- TimeTracker - A simple but excellent extension for gaging how much time you send online.
- Zoho QuickRead - An office suite in your web-browser. I'm definitely going to keep my eye on this one
Firefox crashing on Youtube in Ubuntu Hardy
If you've been surfing Youtube a lot using the default configuration of Ubuntu Hardy, chances are you've experienced an unusual amount of crashing. An absurd amount, in fact. It has been driving me crazy! I've finally been able to cobble together a solution from suggestions here and there on various forums (with special thanks to the works of Conn in these forums):
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
That should do it! Restart your browser and see if you still get all those crashes
- Download the new Flash 10 beta player from here to your home directory and unzip it.
- Remove 'flashplugin-nonfree' and 'libflashsupport' using Synaptic
- Using the command line: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins/ (if it is not already there)
- cp ~/install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
- Using Synaptic, make sure you have the latest of the following installed: 'alsa-base', 'pulseaudio', and 'libasound2-plugins'
- Then create and edit ~/.asoundrc and add:
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
That should do it! Restart your browser and see if you still get all those crashes
Reasons for Firefox hanging
If you just install some extension and Firefox hangs upon loading, it could be due to some of the following reasons:
C:\Documents and Settings\{your user id}\Application Data\Mozilla
if you're using Windows. Perhaps there's something more specific in that directory to kill, but I haven't investigated. Note that reinstalling Firefox doesn't help
- A file inside the extension package is misnamed. I once gave a XUL file an .RDF extension and Firefox just hung. No error message. It sat at around 14MB of memory and showed no CPU usage.
- Something is wrong with the extension's install.rdf file or the content\contents.rdf file. Maybe the URI of the extension is not parsed properly (see another topic on that).
C:\Documents and Settings\{your user id}\Application Data\Mozilla
if you're using Windows. Perhaps there's something more specific in that directory to kill, but I haven't investigated. Note that reinstalling Firefox doesn't help
Opera Theme for Firefox
Unfortunately, the Opera Theme for Firefox is no longer being developed (as far as I can tell - I've searched for it everywhere!). The version linked to below only works with Firefox 2, which I doubt you're using.
Feel free to take a look at my blog, or try your luck with the theme:

Gran Paradiso Alpha 3
Mozilla.org has released Gran Paradiso Alpha 3, an early developer milestone for the next major version of Firefox that is being built on top of the next generation of Mozilla's layout engine, Gecko 1.9. Gran Paradiso Alpha 3 is being made available for testing purposes only.
Gecko 1.9 Alpha 3 introduces several new features which can be tested by using Gran Paradiso Alpha 3:
- Animated PNG (APNG) images are now supported.
- The DOM clientLeft and clientTop attributes are now supported.
- Introduced support for , which puts resources into the browser's offline cache. This allows a web application to ensure that its resources are available in the cache when the browser goes into offline mode.
- Improved precision of layout and scaling across a wide range of screen and printer resolutions.
- Implemented cycle collection in XPCOM, which detects cases where two released objects hold one another, but neither is held by anyone else. In this scenario, both objects can safely be purged. Previously, the holds each has on the other would have prevented them from being purged.
- Added support for the HttpOnly cookie attribute, which marks a cookie as readable only by the server and not by client-side scripts.
- Added a new preference, "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page", which notifies the user when the page specifies HTTP-EQUIV=refresh.
Mozilla.org provides Gran Paradiso for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X in a variety of languages.

Firefox to Lend a Hand to Internet Explorer
Just to prove how friendly Firefox and Internet Explorer development teams really are, see what they have done:
As Microsoft's Internet Explorer lags behind the implementation of the latest HTML standards - in this case the canvas element from HTML5 - one of Mozilla's engineers has decided to add that support to IE by creating an Active X for that purpose.
The web can only move forward if browsers really follow these HTML standards. Otherwise, few people would develop a "next-gen" web 3.0 site if they knew people using IE would be unable to see it as it's intended.
This way, even if Microsoft has no plans on supporting HTML standards (something that has caused major headaches for web developpers for as long as I can remember) Mozilla has done the job for them.
What have we come to... Mozilla helping Internet Explorer... geeezz

Firefox Secrets. How to access hidden options
Virtually any operating system or software has its "dark spots" that allow access to the most important (and vulnerable!) Settings, which can manipulate not only a so-called "tuning" programme, but with inadequate action to withdraw its failure. Typically, these hidden parameters used by developers to debug their products, and not to plunge the curious users sacraments of their programmes, access to these settings carefully concealed.
This small volume article we will share secrets "thin" your Firefox, describe how falling into the "holy of holies" in the menu settings of the browser undocumented as to accelerate the loading of the programme and more. Here we go!
First, list some commands (please enter in your web browser), which will give enough background information, unavailable from the regular menu Firefox.
# about: - displays a certificate of release, the kernel and the number of assembly browser, as well as copyright information.
# about:cache, provides information on the cache (including disk) with a complete list of all files;
# about:buildconfig - brings up a list of options and arguments, used to compile your version of Firefox;
# about:plugins - tell the identification of additional modules in the browser;
# about:credits - poveduet of those actively involved in the development, debugging and testing Firefox;
# about:config is the most interesting team, representing some semblance of the registry regedit set of Windows. You can gain access to many hidden outside your browser.
Accelerating the launch of Firefox (for Windows XP)
To expedite the load browser seize properties Windows XP pre-caching frequently launched programs (prefetches). The cache data such programmes in the special directory-Prefetch. That requires clicking the right mouse button on the browser icon, go to Settings window properties label. Next, which established the path to the program must be at the end of this file /Prefetch:1. That is the path to Firefox, if you had installed on the C:, the following works : "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1
Accelerating the opening of Firefox at decommissioning / deployment of the browser
Window by default, while minimizing their windows to the system tray, Firefox frees memory operating system, and with recourse to the screen, producing a second injection of data in memory. This, of course, would not distinguish themselves on powerful computers, but for weaker can be very noticeable. If your computer is not powerful, but it is "on board" enough RAM, you can make Firefox not unload themselves of the memory system. This run is known to us Editor preferences (about : config), creating a new binary parameter named config.trim_on_minimize and set it to "false". After the browser all changes back to their seats.
Limiting the amount of memory occupied by Firefox
Now share a secret, even the opposite of what the previous paragraph. For the care and control of appetite browser enough to do the following steps. Go to about:config, create new integer parameter browser.cache.memory.capacity and as a value point we need to limit the amount of memory in kilobytes, for example, 10000. Then restart your browser to apply changes.
Live disk cache Firefox elsewhere
In the Standard Preferences of browser you can not change the location of the directory for storing temporary Internet files. The redeployment of the data will have to do the following. Go to about:config, create a string parameter browser.cache.disk.parent_directory values which outlined a new path to the directory for storing temporary internet-kontent

Auto-Updates
app.update.autoUpdateEnabled. (Boolean) Setting this option to true enables Firefox to check at regular
intervals for updated versions of Firefox. Of late the main Firefox releases have been due to security
issues and as such it would be recommended to leave this set to true. If you don’t require this
functionality for some reason, set this to false. Note – This is the same as the Software Update, Firefox
option in the Advanced tab.
app.update.url. (String) The entry here specifies where to check for updated extensions. You shouldn’t
need to alter this.
app.update.interval. (Integer) The value entered here specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, that
Firefox waits before checking for updates. The default being 86400000, aka 1 day. Of late the main
Firefox releases have been due to security issues and as such it would be wise to leave this at the default
to ensure you get notified of such updates ASAP.
extensions.update.autoUpdateEnabled. (Boolean) Setting this to true enables checking for updated version
of the extensions/themes. Set this to false to disable such checks, this isn’t recommended. Note – This is the
same as the Software Update, #my Extensions and Themes option in the Advanced tab.
extensions.update.url. (String) The entry here specifies where to check for updated extensions. You
shouldn’t need to alter this.
extensions.update.interval. (Integer) The value entered here specifies the amount of time, in
milliseconds, that Firefox waits before checking for updates. The default is 604800000 (7 days). This is a
sufficient value as extension updates aren’t likely to be of critical importance, though feel free to
increase/decrease this if necessary.

Flashblock
Flashblock. Flashblock is an extension for the Mozilla and Firefox browsers that takes a
pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash content on a webpage and
blocks ALL Flash content from loading. It then leaves a placeholder on the page that
allows you to click to view the Flash content.
· Netcraft Toolbar. The Toolbar community is effectively a giant neighbourhood watch
scheme, empowering the most alert and most expert members to defend everyone within
the community against phishing frauds. Once the first recipients of a phishing mail have
reported the target URL, it is blocked for community members as they subsequently
access the URL. Widely disseminated attacks (people constructing phishing attacks send
literally millions of electronic mails in the expectation that some will reach customers of
the bank) simply mean that the phishing attack will be reported and blocked sooner.
· Adblock. Adblock is a content filtering plug-in for the Mozilla and Firebird browsers. It is
both more robust and more precise than the built-in image blocker. Adblock allows the
user to specify filters, which remove unwanted content based on the source-address.
· SessionSaver. SessionSaver restores your browser -exactly- as you left it, every startup,
every time. Not even a crash will phase it. Windows, tabs, cookies + scrolling -- they're all
saved.
· Mouse Gestures. Mouse Gestures are a fast way to execute commands without using the
keyboard, menus or toolbars. Instead, the user holds down a mouse button (usually the
right one), moves the mouse in a certain way to form a gesture, and then releases the
mouse button. In web browsers like Mozilla Firefox or the Mozilla Suite, gestures are
used to go back or forward a page, switch between tabs, open multiple links at once,
control text or image size, and numerous other functions.
· ForecastFox. Forecastfox is an extension that brings international weather from
AccuWeather to your Firefox web browser. You can use your US zip code or you can
easily find your town or city by using the built in search tool. It is unobtrusive and
lightweight, yet can be customized to display nearly as much data as the leading desktop
weather programs.
· Web Developer. The Web Developer extension for Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla adds a menu
and a toolbar to the browser with various web developer tools.
· FoxyTunes. FoxyTunes allows you to control your favorite media player without leaving the
browser. The controls are positioned on the status bar or one of the toolbars, so no extra
space is wasted. FoxyTunes has several nice features. You can control the playback,
adjust the volume, see what's playing, and more.
· About This Site. About this site is a Firefox extension by Gina Trapani which gives you 1-
click access to various services that provide information about the web page you are
viewing.
· Tab Mix. Tab Mix is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox browser which enhances its tab
browsing capabilities. Tab Mix's main objectives are to be small, fast, easy to use, logical,
and without bugs while containing the most natural features related to tab browsing.
· Greasemonkey. Greasemonkey lets you add bits of DHTML ("user scripts") to any web
page to change its behavior. In much the same way that user CSS lets you take control
of a web page's style, user scripts let you easily control any aspect of a web page's

Microsoft has reigned the browser market for a long time, ever since it took the original Netscape
browser out of the picture; there has been no competitor able to keep up with Internet Explorer.

barely keeping up with security holes found in its browser.
Just as Linux is to Windows, Mozilla’s open-source Firefox is to Internet Explorer. The fact is, although
IE is still the top used browser, Firefox is by far the best out there (Opera is fantastic, too, just not
completely free).
