FireFox 9 beta 4 now available for PowerPC

Thanks again to the TenFourFox development team for continuing to port current versions of Moizilla’s FireFox browser. Mozilla dropped PowerPC support for FireFox over a year ago.

Your web browser is huge because it connects you to so much content, having a current and secure browser that is optimized for your system and updated regularly is crucial and TenFourFox fills that role for PowerPC users. I’m up to my knees in PowerPC and I don’t feel the need to upgrade to Intel just quite yet.

If you want to read about some of the trials and tribulations that the team encountered with this release you can see it at the TenFourFox Development Blog.

Firefox Beta 4 for OS X! Really really fast!

By Luke On Jul 9, 2010 Apple | Software/Freeware 0 No Comments Tags: , ,

Firefoxbeta4At first I was amazed and awed by Mozilla’s Firefox web browser. When it was first introduced back in 2004 it was very fast and pretty powerful. But after five years of using Firefox, it became old. It was getting bogged down and it frankly wasn’t as fast as Safari or Chrome in my experience.

Firefox 4 brings a lot of great new stuff to the table. It’s incredibly quick, due to new accelerated hardware support and the UI has been polished and simplified. It also comes with support for HTML5/WebM video. Allowing you to enjoy  open HD quality video natively inside of Firefox. Improved crash protection also protects you from misbehaving plugins that usually crash the whole app, now only the plugin is affected, leaving you other work intact.

Other new features include:

  • WebGL – web standard that provides a 3D graphics API implemented in a web browser without the use of plug-ins
  • WebSockets - a technology providing for bi-directional, full-duplex communications channels (Makes page loading faster)
  • Web Console –  web-based application that allows remote users to execute UNIX/Windows shell commands on a server, upload/download files to/from server, edit text files directly on a server, etc

You can find all the new features over at Firefox’s Beta 4 page.

FF themes that make us happy we’re not stuck with default

By Luke On May 13, 2010 Hacks/Mods 0 No Comments Tags: ,

25704Mozilla’s Firefox has a theme that is easy on the eyes and just as functional, however, everyone’s taste is a little different and default isn’t always beautiful. So today we come to you with out three favorite Firefox themes.

Up first, Tylerc’s Chromifox. Chromifox, as you may have guested from the name, is a coat of Chrome for Firefox. It is a very clean and professional theme that is super intuitive and very nice to look at. If you haven’t given Chrome a try yet, this theme may perk your intrest. (also, give tylerc’s other theme Camifox a try if you dig Camino‘s theme.)38220

Secondly, we have gigeher’s Purity. It’s simple and straight forward design make for a great clutter-free interface. It’s white design with light accents of blue make it a very stylish choice. This theme is still in beta but it is fully functional.

Rounding up the list is Spewboy’s Strata40. Inspired by Firefox 4, this theme is very reminiscent of the default Firefox theme but improvements have been made and it definitely trumps what is shipping with as the default now.
