Mozilla Stops Firefox 2 Support

The Mozilla Foundation has announced that it will cease support for the Firefox 2 browser next month, in spite of problems with Firefox 3.

Wave goodbye to support for that Firefox 2 browser. As of the middle of December the Mozilla Foundation will end support for it to let its developers focus on the more recent Firefox 3. On its site, Mozilla wrote: "Firefox 2.0.0.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until mid-December, 2008. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 3." Firefox 2 received its most recent update just last week, at the same time Firefox 3.0.4 was released, which addresses several security flaws. There will only be one more Firefox 2 update. For all the hoopla surrounding its record-breaking release earlier this year, Firefox 3 has it critics, who claim the browser crashes too often and uses too much memory. When support for Firefox 2 ends, so will support for its underlying Gecko 1.8 layout engine, which also underpins the Thunderbird e-mail client, as well as several Gecko-based browsers. According to ZDNet, Mozilla will continue support for Thunderbird, but the browsers will likely have to rely on third party developers.

Mozilla Tests Private Browsing Feature

Mozilla is testing a private browsing feature for Firefox that would make it seem as if the browser session never occurred.

Mozilla has been planning a private browsing feature for its Firefox browser for a long time, but only now is that beginning to become reality, according to CNET. Although users can already use an extension to achieve the effect, it’s expected that it will be among the advances making its way into Firefox 3.1. The application is currently being tested in Minefield, where Mozilla tests applications. When the feature is enabled, all the history, cookies and passwords – everything – vanishes when the window is closed, as if the session had never happened. Users can even start a browsing session in the privacy mode. It can be started at any time during a session, although that will mean the current public session will have to close before re-opening in privacy mode.

Mozilla experiments with open security

It seems like in just about every department, Mozilla does things right. As a case in point, I was gratified to read CNET's interview with Mozilla's security maven, Window Snyder. Window's first name notwithstanding, she makes it clear that Mozilla groks security:

At a lot of companies, there's fear around security: you don't want to talk about what you're doing around security because one might deem it not enough--or might want to criticize it...We benefit from being open; it's the model for us and it's been successful for us.

It's an interesting article, one I encourage you to read. It's just one more reason to choose Mozilla and its open-source products like Firefox.

Symantec and Mozilla Firefox for HP Virtual Solutions

I recently attended the Symantec ManageFusion 2008 event in Orlando, Fla., and while at the show I was able to learn a lot more about Symantec's Endpoint Virtualization and use their SVS application virtualization product.

One of the cool things during the show was how Symantec showed off SVS in such a subtle way. In the event lounge, there were a number of HP workstations lined up for show attendees to use. These machines had a virtualized Firefox session on them, courtesy of Symantec and HP. This was great, because after each Internet session, it would securely clean things up before the next person jumped on, thanks to Symantec SVS containment.

During the show, I was fortunate enough to catch up with Scott Jones, technical product manager with Symantec Endpoint Virtualization. One of the great things about ManageFusion is the open access to team members like Scott. We had a great conversation about the show, but more importantly I wanted to find out more about what HP and Symantec were collaborating on.

Q: I see two stories here –- one is that HP is shipping Firefox pre-installed. That's news in itself. But for my audience, the more interesting part is that it's a virtualized client application. How did this come about?

A: HP is the hardware industry leader in virtualization and energy conservation in the datacenter. They are now extending that leadership to client computing via their Virtual Client Solutions and other initiatives. Mozilla Firefox for HP Virtual Solutions is a major step in that evolution. And having the Symantec virtualization agent pre-installed positions HP to do a lot of other interesting things down the road, not just the virtual browser.

Q: I assume there was some sort of competitive process to determine which virtualization product HP would use?

A: Absolutely. We were up against the other major vendors in the application virtualization category. Symantec won for a few reasons. Some were technical, like SVS' reset capability while preserving user settings and the competitive advantages we normally pitch. But I think Symantec's very strong existing alliance with HP had a lot to do with it as well. Altiris has a long history of going to market with HP successfully, and our catalog gives HP resellers a lot of up-sell options from the SVS Runtime that comes free with the PCs.

Q: What is the difference between SVS Runtime and the regular SVS product from Symantec?

A: The regular Symantec SVS product allows customers to repackage any software into the Symantec Virtual Software Archive (.VSA) format. VSA files may then be centrally managed and delivered via any standard management framework (such as Altiris, Microsoft System Center, etc.) or with the Symantec Streaming system that is available in the SVS Professional version of the product.

SVS Runtime is the core SVS application virtualization technology, with no Graphical User Interface (GUI) or server components. SVS Runtime enables customers to use software that is packaged by application vendors in the Symantec Virtual Runtime Archive (or .VRA) format. Application developers use Wise Installation Studio (also from Symantec) to build a .VRA for their product. Software vendors may also freely redistribute the SVS Runtime to their customers. Since HP business desktops now have SVS Runtime pre-installed, HP customers can easily consume any such virtualized software. Q: So can I use the SVS Runtime to virtualize other applications?

A: No. With SVS Runtime, you can only use applications that have been pre-packed in the .VRA format by the application vendor. If you want to be able to virtualize any software yourself, purchase the regular SVS product from HP or Symantec. Q: How does a virtual Web browser relate to Symantec's virtualization strategy?

A: Symantec believes that the convergence of security and management is a natural step toward "confidence in a connected world." To support that strategy, Symantec acquired Altiris in April of 2007. Altiris is the world's leading brand of endpoint management solutions and the company demonstrated leadership in that space by being the first client configuration management vendor to add application virtualization to its catalog, when SVS shipped back in March 2006. Symantec believes that virtualization is key to the next generation of client management and that application virtualization will best serve customers when it is ubiquitous. Having Symantec SVS pre-installed on all business desktops from the world's largest hardware manufacturer is a key step toward that ubiquity. The Web browser was just a compelling first use case.

Q: Devil's advocate question for you -- Why virtualize a Web browser, especially Firefox, which is already more secure, right?

A: Well, like we say on the Welcome Page, "Firefox already does a lot to ensure that you stay safe on the Web. But sometimes the unexpected happens. Been surfing the Web with undesired results? Machine getting slow lately? Things showing up that you know shouldn't be there? With Mozilla Firefox for HP Virtual Solutions, changes made to your machine from within Firefox are saved into the virtual layer and can be easily undone, like you'd never been on the Net! Quickly put things back to their original state by clicking the Reset shortcut on your Start Menu." So it's not just a security thing –- though virtualization is indeed an extra layer that complements the security tools shipped by HP. It's also a stability thing –- stability of the browser and stability of the machine, keeping things working smoothly. In fact, our tag line for the project is "Smart Stability." Q: How does Mozilla Firefox for HP Virtual Solutions compare with Google Chrome?

A: For one thing, Chrome is currently an unsupported beta. Mozilla Firefox for HP Virtual Solutions is a released product supported directly by HP. Q: Can anyone just download this?

A: There will be a Softpaq (if not already posted) for HP customers to download and install on eligible desktop models -– basically every business desktop shipped from Sept. '08 onward. So if you want the complete package we built for HP, with the localization and some other bells and whistles, you need to buy an HP business desktop. However, Symantec has been providing a basic Firefox installation in a virtual layer as a sample application since SVS first came out in beta. Anyone can get that package from our Juice Web community site. You'll need to have SVS, of course. Download and purchase options are on that same Web site. Q: Altiris used to give SVS away free for personal use. Is Symantec still doing that?

A: Yes. You can get a free, agent-only download under a restricted license that lets you put SVS on your personal machine. It's available from several sources. They're listed on the Juice site as well. Q: On those "other interesting things" you mentioned –- now that SVS is on their boxes, I have to believe HP will be using it for more than just Firefox. Can you share any specific plans?

A: No specifics yet. Stay tuned. But there are so many things that come to mind that could benefit HP, its resellers, the customers' IT staffs, and the end users.

HP and their resellers sell a lot of software. Their customers buy and use a lot of software. Virtualized software requires less testing and less support. It "just works." And when it's streamed as well, license compliance is guaranteed.

I look at it this way. Both the software vendors and the end customers have an inherent interest in assuring the following for a given application:

1. That the software is readily available to authorized end users when they need it. 2. That the latest version of the software is being used. 3. That it functions correctly. 4. That license compliance is maintained.

I want to again thank Scott Jones of Symantec for taking the time to speak with me during the show and for helping me gain a better understanding about what Symantec is doing with SVS and HP.

Mozilla Aims Again at Mobile Browsing

Mobile browsing itself is an increasingly growing market. Strategy Analytics has reported that there are currently 172 million smart phones in use today. That number will grow to 462 million by 2012.

While Fennec developers are aiming to get a piece of the pie, they admit there is still much work that needs to be done.

"Our priority right now is performance and responsiveness," Sullivan said. "There are projects underway like TraceMonkey, speculative parsing, graphics, networking and other improvements that will make the browser much faster and make it a good platform for application developers."

The TraceMonkey project is Mozilla's new JavaScript engine, designed to be the fastest engine in the space -- eclipsing Apple's SquirrelFish or Google's V8. TraceMonkey appears in Firefox 3.1 Beta 1.

Beyond speed, Mozilla also faces the challenge of mobile platform availability. Currently, Fennec is only available for Nokia's OS2008, which runs on the Nokia N810 Internet Tablets. A Windows Mobile port is in the works as well, though it's not part of the first Alpha release. Mozilla has, however, released desktop versions of Fennec for Mac, Linux and Windows users to test.

"That's right -- you can install Fennec on your Windows, OS X or Linux desktop too!" Mark Finkle, Mozilla platform evangelist, wrote in his blog. "We want you to be able to experiment, provide feedback, write add-ons and generally get involved with the Mozilla Mobile project, even if you don't have a device."

Mozilla is currently investigating the development of Fennec for other platforms as well, though not all mobile users -- notably, Research in Motion (RIM) BlackBerry users -- will be on the list.

"Mozilla is a member of the LiMo Foundation, and are evaluating Symbian and other platforms," Sullivan said. "We are not actively developing for RIM at this time."

Even with ports for other mobile platform, clawing its way into the overall market for mobile browsers may still be challenging. Many mobile carriers tend to lock their handheld devices to limit the ability of users to install applications of their choice, though that situation is changing. For instance, both the Apple iPhone and the Google-backed Android mobile operating system offer application "markets," where users can buy and download apps to add to their phones.

"The market for third-party application has opened up quite a lot, so we expect lots of users to download and install," Sullivan said. "We are also working on distribution in cases where it aligns with our values and mission."

Mozilla, Ajaxian Partner to Create Developer Tools

Mozilla this week hired Ajaxian co-founders Dion Almaer and Ben Galbraith to head up a new group that will focus on the creation of developer tools for the open Web. "We believe that there's tremendous opportunity for innovation in tools that increase developer productivity, enable compelling user experiences, and promote the use of open standards," Chris Beard, vice president and general manager of Mozilla Labs, wrote in a Tuesday blog post. "We're there in the trenches building these Ajax apps and a lot of the stuff that we're doing is way, way too hard for us," Alamaer said in a video announcement. "It doesn't have to be that hard on the open Web." The duo talked to Mozilla and were "surprised to find out that Mozilla wanted to invest in this area, and they wanted to create a team to address productivity on the Web to create developer tools," Galbraith said on the video. The Developer Tool Labs will look at the problem and see where it makes sense to step in, they wrote on the Ajaxian blog. "We are going to be experimenting, and thinking about how to make developers' lives better in different ways, so we aren't expecting to see traditional tools come out of this group." "We aren't narrowly going to look at a way to build Eclipse plugins for example," Alamaer wrote on his blog. "Rather, we want to take a step back and see how we can help Web developers build compelling software with great user experiences in a productive way." Alamaer and Galbraith encouraged developers to step up with their ideas. "We can build these tools in the open, with total transparency; the Mozilla way," they wrote. The group plans to release more details about the project in the coming weeks. Increase your Internet Speed as well as get Computer Tech Services online 24x7 by Microsoft Certified Techs.

Mozilla updates Firefox 3.1 with Alpha 2 build

The newest alpha adds new video support, background JavaScript calculations

Mozilla Corp. on Friday launched the second alpha of Firefox 3.1, adding new video support and boosting the speed of some JavaScript computations.

Firefox 3.1 Alpha 2, code-named "Shiretoko," will be the last in a short series of alpha editions; Mozilla has set a late September code freeze for Beta 1 and will presumably deliver the first preview for the general public next month.

Mozilla added support for the new video element to Alpha 2 and the opening round of what's called "Web worker threads," it also enhanced the browser's performance and enabled drag-and-drop of tabs between windows.

Support for the video tag, part of the HTML 5 standard, has been pitched by developers as a way to ditch proprietary formats, including the popular Flash, and let site designers embed video directly into pages and then manipulate and control the video with scripting.

Mozilla is playing catch-up here with Apple Inc.'s Safari, which already supports the tag. Other browsers, however, including Google Inc.'s new Chrome and Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2, have yet to offer support for the element.

Also in Alpha 2 is initial support for "Web worker threads," enhanced scripting functionality that lets site developers shift JavaScript computations to a background thread where they don't hit the performance of the Firefox user interface.

"The user interface will remain responsive while the [JavaScript] engine churns, and navigating away from the page will even pause its execution," Mozilla said in supporting documents about worker threads.

Other additions and changes to Firefox 3.1 showing up for the first time include: support for between-windows drag-and-drop; new support for several CSS (cascading style sheets) 2.1 and CSS 3 properties; and improved performance when viewing images with embedded color profiles.

Mozilla did not include its new TraceMonkey JavaScript interpreter in Alpha 2, however. The engine, which Mozilla recently said executes JavaScript as much as 28% faster than Chrome, will continue to be available only in Firefox 3.1 nightly builds, the dailies that Mozilla posts for its own developers. Instructions for turning TraceMonkey on in a nightly build can be found here.

Firefox 3.1 has been touted as a fast-track update to June's version 3.0; that edition worked its way through eight alphas altogether.

Mozilla has declined to set a hard deadline for the browser, saying only that it is shooting for a late 2008 or early 2009 release. Last week, however, the open-source developer pushed back Firefox 3.1 Beta 1's schedule by three weeks.

Alpha 2 can be downloaded from Mozilla's site in versions for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

How to configure Mozilla's "Navigator"

This will explain you how to configure Mozilla's "Navigator" options, how this browser behaves, internet search and the handling of different file types..The following steps will help you to configure Mozilla’s Navigator. >>Click on "Edit" in the menu bar and then on "Preferences" to open the preferences menu. >This is what you will see when you click on the category heading "Navigator". You can select from the following options: >>Display on This option lets you select, which page Mozilla displays when you- First start Mozilla ("Navigator Startup")- Open a new browser window ("New Window")- Open a new browser tab ("New Tab")Mozilla allows you to select a different behavior for each of those three option (available from the dropdown menu), giving you a great degree of flexibility.You can chose between:- Blank page: This means that Mozilla will display no page at all. The advantage is, that it will take less time for Mozilla to start (or to open a new window/Tab).- Home page: This option will make Mozilla load the page (or file) you specified in the Home Page field. Please see below for more information.- Last page visited: When this option is selected, Mozilla will open the last page you viewed. When you selected this for "Navigator Startup", it means that the last site you visited on your previous session will be opened. When you select this for "New Window" or "New Tab", Mozilla will effectively duplicate the current window (like IE does).This may or may not be a good thing, depending on how many other people use your computer (and on the last page you visited ;-) Home Page This option lets you select the page or file Mozilla opens if you click on the "Home" button. It will also affect the option "When Navigator starts up, display Home page" since this is where you specify your home page.You can specify:- a manually entered a URL to a website, to an HTML document on your PC or on a local network.- that Mozilla uses the page that is displayed in the active window (i.e. the one you can see at the moment you select this option)by clicking on "Use current page"- that Mozilla uses the current group of open tabs by clicking on the "Use current group or chose a file by clicking on "Choose File"Clicking on "Restore default" will do just that, i.e. restore this setting to what it was when you fist started Mozilla. Select the buttons you want to see in the toolbarsTake a look at the top part of Mozilla. Notice all the buttons that are displayed? This option lets you select which buttons will or will not be displayed. Note: "Home" is the button that will take you to the Home page you specified. Also note that enabling/disabling toolbar buttons will not affect the entries in the menu bar.

How to Configure Mozilla

This How-To will explain how to configure Mozilla's appearance options. This ranges from how font will be displayed, which themes and even which language Mozilla uses. The How-To consists of 6 easy steps. Appearance 1. Click on "Edit" and then on "Preferences" to open the preferences menu. 2. You will see a Window, when you click on the category heading "appearance". You can select the following: When Mozilla starts up, open:This lets you select which Mozilla component opens when you start Mozilla. The default setting is Navigator (the browser component). You can also chose Composer (an HTML editor) or Mozilla mail. Show toolbars as:This option allows you to chose between having your toolbars use- Pictures and text- Pictures only- Text onlyNote that the "pictures and text" may not be available for all themes. If you e.g. chose "Text only" Mozilla will not display buttons for "Back", "Forward" and similar funktions but text labels only. Show Tooltips:Whne enabled, Mozilla will show tooltips when you move your mouse over buttons or links, explaining what they do. Show Web Site Icons:When enabled, a site icon (aka favicon) will be shown next to a site's URL in the address bar. Please note that while most major sites do have a favicon, many smaller sites do not. Resize large images to fit in the browser window:When enabled, this option will automatically resize (large) images to fit in your browser window without the need to scroll. It is in my opinion a very useful feature. 3. The next screen lets you optimize the font settings. Unless you have special requirements (e.g. larger font size for the visually impaired), I would recommend leaving the defaults.Leave the box next to "Allow documents to use other fonts" checked - this will allow Mozilla to diplay custom font settings many sites use (like e.g. this one).The option "display resolution" lets you customize Mozilla's resolution to better match your display. Click on this field and select "Other...". A popup window will appear. Use a ruler or tape measure to measure the length of the line that appears and enter its length as it appears on your display (in centimeters or inches) - this will let Mozilla know, how text is actually displayed on your screen and allow it to adjust the text's size accordingly. In my case (average 17 in. screen), the resolution was changed from 96 dpi to 85 dpi. 4. The next screen lets you optimize the color settings. As in the previous screen, I would recommend leaving the defaults as they are. Always use the colors and background specified by the page:When enabled, Mozilla will override your local settings (as specified in this menu) if a web page specifies different colors (like this page does). Use my chosen colors...:When enabled, Mozilla will ignore the web page's color settings, using you local settings instead.Please note that you can only chose between either of the two options. 5. This next screen lets you chose the theme Mozilla uses. An easier way to do this is to click on "View" - "Apply Theme" in Mozilla's menu bar.The main advantage of selecting themes in this menu is the preview function. Select a theme and you will be able to see what Mozilla will look like using this theme.You can get new themes by clicking on "Get New Themes". Doing so will open a new browser window and take you to Mozilla's themes page which contains links to websites with Mozilla themes.If you wish to uninstall a theme, simply select the theme you wish to remove and click on the uninstall button.Note: This option is not available for themes that came preinstalled with Mozilla! 6. In the final appearance-related step, you can localize Mozilla. The default language and content pack is English (US), but many more are available (e.g. German, French...).Installing and selecting a new language pack will change the language used for Mozilla's menues and buttons.Installing and selecting a new content pack will change things like sidebars and bookmarks.Note: You will not lose your personal bookmarks when installing a new content pack.
