The latest version of Firefox has some welcome, but not revolutionary, changes.

The just-released final version of Firefox 3.6 is a moderate improvement over previous versions -- it's faster and introduces a nifty new feature or two. But at heart, it's the same browser that has steadily gained market share against Internet Explorer for years.

This newest iteration shows all signs of continuing that trend, because it's opened up an even wider speed gap against Internet Explorer, better adheres to Web standards and adds a nice trick or two. Those who favor raw speed alone will still prefer Chrome, but Firefox is clearly superior to Chome when it comes to full-featured Web browsing.

I tested the latest version of Firefox on four machines: one running Vista, one running Windows XP, one running Windows 7 and one running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I performed head-to-head testing of Firefox 3.6 against version 3.5, Chrome 4, Internet Explorer 8 and Opera 10 on a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop with 1GB of RAM and an Intel Core Duo T2400 1.83Ghz processor, running Windows XP SP3.
It's all about speed

Opera Software has acquired AdMarvel, a mobile-advertising startup that Opera expects will monetize its mobile browser and services. AdMarvel works with global and regional ad networks, including Google's AdMob and Apple, Inc.'s Quattro Wireless. Jupiter Research expects the mobile-ad market will reach $5.7 billion by 2014.

On Wednesday, Opera Software revealed its latest interest: Mobile advertising. The Norwegian browser maker has acquired AdMarvel with an eye toward monetization of Opera-branded mobile products and services offered by mobile operators and content partners.

Ok, i know the title of this post is kinda funny but that's what this news is all about, one of the greatest internet browsers of this time Mozilla Firefox and with other products also. This have been spread in the form of Add-on’s.

These aren't just add-on’s the real problem is that they are infected with Malwares and they have downloaded by many of the people worldwide.

According to the researchers “Two Firefox add-on’s available for months on Mozilla’s website infected users with malware that stole passwords and opened a backdoor on Windows machines, the open-source browser maker has confirmed.”…

Google's Chrome browser was the only browser to gain global market share last month as Mozilla's Firefox chalked up a third straight month of declines. Microsoft's required browser-choice ballot in Europe could help Firefox and continue the market slide for Internet Explorer. Chrome has been chipping away at IE's market lead.

Google's Chrome was the only web browser application to gain global market share last month, with all other major browser platforms showing month-to-month declines, according to Net Applications. Mozilla's Firefox browser -- which had been racking up steady gains at Microsoft Relevant Products/Services's expense through November 2009 -- saw its global market share fall for the third straight month, the web metrics firm reported.

Tabs and Search

Thunderbird 3 changes the way you do email with tabbed email, and a new set of search tools helps you find your emails faster.

Tabs

If you like Firefox’s tabbed browsing, you’re going to love tabbed email. Tabbed email lets you load emails in separate tabs so you can quickly jump between them. Perhaps you’re responding to an email and need to refer back to an earlier email. Tabbed email lets you keep multiple emails open for easy reference.

Double-clicking or hitting enter on a mail message will now open that message in a new tab window. Right-clicking on messages or folders will open them in a tab in the background.

When quitting Thunderbird, visible tabs will be saved and will be restored when you open Thunderbird the next time. There is also a new Tab menu on the Tab toolbar to help you switch between Tabs.

Accelerators

How many steps does it take with your current browser to map an address, translate a word, or perform other routine tasks online? Until now it was likely a series of cutting and pasting information from one webpage to another. Now there's a better way. The new Accelerators in Internet Explorer 8 help you quickly perform your everyday browsing tasks without navigating to other websites to get things done. Simply highlight text from any webpage, and then click on the blue Accelerator icon that appears above your selection to obtain driving directions, translate and define words, email content to others, search with ease, and more. For example, with the "Map with Bing" Accelerator in Internet Explorer 8, you can get an in-place view of a map displayed directly on the page.

You can discover other useful Accelerators by selecting the More Accelerators option on the right-click menu, or visit our Accelerators gallery. You can easily delete, disable, or enable Accelerators by clicking on Manage Add-ons from the Tools button on the upper right-hand corner of your browser window.
