New Article: Top Firefox Extensions
Firefox is a well known of course for being a fast and innovative web browser but certainly far from perfect. Thankfully because it has been specifically written to allow extensions, it can be tweaked to suit individual requirements much better.
Read the article to find out some of my favourite extensions!

Blu-ray Wins
After what was seemingly like a VHS vs Betamax type war, it appears Blu-ray has emerged as the winner of the next generation DVD formats. Toshiba has announced that it will be discontinuing it's HD-DVD business. As the creators of HD-DVD it means that the format is now dead.
As long as you haven't started a HD-DVD collection, this is a good start for consumers. Now you only have one format to worry about instead of two standards trying to fight each other. Unfortunately none of this would have occurred if the big companies would talk to each other and co-develop the standards instead of being completely profit driven.
Further discussion and information is available in our forum thread here .

Firefox 3 Beta 3 Released
Just a quick update, Beta 3 has now been released for Firefox 3.
Release notes: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0b3/releasenotes/
While most of the changes in Beta 3 are only tweaks and minor enhancements, it's also a good indication how well it's performing so far.

Firefox 3.0 Beta 1 Now Available
The first beta of the latest Firefox 3 has been released, with some interesting features. Some of these are:
- A new Gecko 1.9 rendering engine, which has over 2 million line changes focusing on performance and stability
- Increased security including malware and forgery protection
- Better password management
- Improved download manager
- Improved OSX and Vista integration
- Improved Memory handling
Of course this is a beta release so not everything will work and I'm sure there will be some strange quirks. The changes so far look good, lets hope they all fall into place perfectly before the final release.
