Choice is a wonderful thing, but successful restaurants have smaller menus for a reason. If you’ve been grappling with making a decision on phone platforms as is, Mozilla’s about to chuck their hat into the ring with their Boot to Gecko mobile platform.
Mozilla Firefox 4 for Windows, Mac and Linux is out of beta and available as a stable release candidate. Note that add-ons may not have been tested yet by their developers, but this gorgeous browser can be downloaded right now. [Mozilla]
Firefox’s director Mike Beltzner has confirmed that Firefox 4 (expected later this year with HTML5 and multitouch support) has been delayed until early next year.
At 12 years old, I successfully conquered a pile of dirt when I moved it from one side of my yard to the other. Alex Miller, currently 12, conquered a difficult Firefox security flaw, earning $US3,000 in the process.
Growing up from the early alpha build, Firefox 4 has entered the beta metamorphosis for Android and Maemo phones. It includes Firefox Sync (for desktop-to-phone favourites, like Firefox Home will be); add-ons and even the Awesome Bar.

Everyone’s busy gossiping about a Facebook phone which may or may not exist right now, but let’s pause all that and daydream about a lovely phone that very certainly won’t ever become reality: The Mozilla Seabird.
An early, pre-alpha version of Mozilla’s Fennec mobile browser has been around for months, but the Firefox developer has today released an official full alpha for download. And it’s not just Android that’s benefiting – the mobile browser has also been released for Nokia’s N900 smartphone.
MPEG LA, the group who who licenses the h.264 video codec, has extended its royalty-free use (for free internet video) from 2016 until, well, forever. But Mozilla thinks that the better part of forever could belong to Google’s WebM format.
