Happy 6th birthday, Firefox!

Happy 6th Birthday, Firefox…

Firefox celebrates its sixth birthday today, with Firefox’s 1.0 having been released exactly on this date, November 9th 2004.

On that day, Firefox made the Web more secure, faster, standards-compliant — and, most importantly, it made the Web open.

In 6 years, it has become one of the most important open source projects – from giving users the world over a safe, secure and stable browsing experience to ensuring wider adoption of common web standards through increased market share.

Before Firefox there was only Internet Explorer and Netscape — a war that had no winners and many scrolling marquee losers. Firefox changed everything with its radically different, ‘build a better browser and they will come’ approach. And today, with some 30% of the market and the richest feature set of any browser, that approach has paid off.

Update Firefox 3.6.6

Belum ada satu minggu, Mozilla sudah mengeluarkan update terbaru untuk browser andalan mereka, Firefox. Sebelumnya, pada tanggal 22 Juni 2010, Mozilla mengeluarkan update Firefox 3.6.4, dan hari ini Mozilla sudah mengeluarkan update yang baru.

Kenapa Mozilla mengeluarkan update dalam range waktu yang dekat? Dikutip dari blog mereka, dalam update sekarang, para developer menambahkan waktu tunggu bagi Firefox sebelum menonaktifkan plugin yang crash. Fitur ini sudah ada di update 3.6.4, yaitu crash protection dengan mengisolasi plugin yang crash tersebut, seperti yang dilakukan Google Chrome.

The crash protection feature, first introduced in Firefox 3.6.4, protects Windows and Linux users from crashes and freezes caused by third party plugins such as Flash and Silverlight. When a plugin crashes, users can reload the Web page to restart the plugin and continue browsing. When a plugin freezes, making the whole browser unresponsive, Firefox 3.6.4 terminates the unresponsive plugin after waiting 10 seconds. These changes were tested with a beta audience of close to one million users.

Following the release of Firefox 3.6.4 we heard from some users, mainly those using older computers, that they sometimes expect longer periods of non-responsiveness from plugins, especially with games. For these users the default timeout of 10 seconds was too short. To address this, we increased the amount of time Firefox waits for a plugin to respond before terminating it from 10 to 45 seconds. This change has been made in Firefox 3.6.6, which was released today as an automatic update for all users. Source [ here ]
