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.
