I think most of you will have noticed that Google has a new favicon (again). Far too colourful for my taste…

I recently read this interesting blog post linking to this article. I didn’t read this whole article but the main point is that in the long run Mozilla Firefox will probably not survive Google Chrome. The reason for this being that…
[Eighty-eight] percent of Mozilla’s funds come from Google, which pays Mozilla to be the default search engine in its Firefox browser.
Well it is really obvious that Google is paying Mozilla quite some money as e.g this is the default start page after you’ve installed Firefox. And the author assumes that as Chrome gains market shares Google will start withdrawing money from Firefox.
Interesting facts. We will see how the browser war goes on. By the way an interesting statistics in this context can be found here where you can see how quickly Chrome gained users.

Well I have been using the new Firefox version 3.0 for just over a week now and I think it’s quite good. But from the very beginning (when I upgraded) the alert message that should warn me if I close a window with multiple tabs didn’t work although I had enabled it in the preferences.
Now about 10 minutes ago my Firefox crashed and now this alert message works again!! Strange… -

Earlier this week I mentioned Mozilla’s trial to set a Guinness Book record for the most downloaded software with their new Firefox Version 3. And of course they made it. Actually it was downloaded 8 million times within the initial 24-hours period, I was one of them.

Tomorrow the latest version of Mozilla’s Firefox browser – Version 3 – will be released. I’m really excited to try out all the new features. Mozilla is also trying to reach an entry in the Guinness Book Of World Records for the software most downloaded on a single day. Get more information on this by clicking the following image…
By the way, Lifehacker just posted this History of Firefox in screenshots, really interesting. I will share my experience with the new browser here on the blog soon..

This afternoon I wanted to watch one of the videos at iptv.orf.at but I couldn’t because I had no Windows Media Player plugin installed in my Firefox (that’s not inculded in Windows Media Player 11). If you have the same problem just follow these instructions and it should work (at least it works now on my computer). You can also find the solution there, if you don’t have Firefox installed in the default location as I do.
By the way, I’m actually getting used to Vista now, I have to. Actually I do like some of its new features.
