With the massive number of people who use Firefox and the rather limited resources that you can expect from an open-source company, Mozilla has decided to turn over their Twitter customer support tasks to the people. Mozilla’s new Army of Awesome encourages Firefox lovers to help their fellow FFers by answering Twitter mentions of Firefox, which are updated in real-time on the Army of Awesome site, through their own Twitter accounts. Army of Awesome members can either create custom answers... Continue reading

Firefox is a little heartbreaker. Just won’t let me shy away for too long without pulling me back in. I love my Chrome for doing certain things, but Firefox is the girl I keep coming back to time and time again. As for Internet Explorer? I’m just glad I went through that phase young and got her out of the way. For now, Firefox is my main lady friend. I see Chrome on the side every once in a while,... Continue reading

It’s funny cuz it’s true. I’m a Chrome user myself. Pretty much exclusively for the past six months or so. And while it’s very speedy, it does have some buggy issues. Particularly the Mac beta. But I’ll throw them a bone here and give ‘em the old Gearfuse stamp of approval. Link

Like a bat out of hell, Microsoft this morning released Internet Explorer 8. As the follow up to the ultra-successful IE7, version 8 has a lot to live up to considering how commonplace Mozilla’s Firefox is becoming. New features include searching with images, web slices, new accelerated rendering engines and…well, yeah. That’s the gist of it. Walt Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal says it’s much better than previous versions and is a worthy competitor to Firefox. Sounds good. If... Continue reading

Tomorrow, Google will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome in more than 100 countries. Chrome is it’s new browser and while it may seem like it’s aimed at Internet Explorer or Firefox, Google is really targeting Windows. Google wants Chrome to be nothing short of a full on desktop operating system that could give Windows a run for its money. But, what about Midori? Google is releasing the beta for Windows to kick start a broader discussion and... Continue reading

I’ve got a problem and it’s with my former employer Michael Arrington. It’s not a personal problem at all, it’s just that he’s not making sense when it comes to his little Firefox Tablet he’s trying to build. Oh, and be warned – the page is bogged down by a gazillion comments, which brings me to my main point: Michael Arrington owns a blog network, not a hardware distribution company. I have no doubt in my mind that the man... Continue reading

Step aside, Second Life. There’s a new time-wasting virtual social network just released by Google. It’s called Lively and it’s your ticket to the cyber world, complete with emotes and customized avatars. Screw that pay to play bullshit on Second Life. Hell, no one wants to hear your lame cyber concert anyways. Play on a real stage or go home! Lively’s client is free to download and runs with IE or Firefox. Images and videos are viewable in Lively, as... Continue reading

You may recall from our Father’s Day guide that I recommended Firefox 3 for a download. After all, it’s free, safe and full of computational power. Now that it’s June 17th, it’s time to help set a Guinness World Record for most software downloads in a 24-hour period. Head on over to SpreadFirefox.com and pledge to to download FF3 when it’s released. Speaking of which, it’s June 17th and I have yet to see the official release of Firefox 3... Continue reading

How big of a fanboy do you have to be to put your dog through the hassle of shaving a mohawk strip down the center of its back and then painting it Firefox orange. Can’t the ASPCA do something about this? Come on, animal cops, this is clearly animal cruelty. Now, if only the doggy’s little bed was a little globe pillow, they’d be all set. How could you forget the blueness? And they call themselves nerds. — Andrew Dobrow... Continue reading
