Firefox, Web Browser | featured news

The new major release of Mozilla’s web browser, Firefox 8, officially launches Nov. 8. However, as usual, it’s available to download on Mozilla’s servers a bit early, meaning you can install it right now.

Mozilla and MIcrosoft have teamed up to release a special version of Firefox that integrates Bing as the default search engine.

Ahead of an expected Tuesday release, Mozilla has put up Firefox 6 up for download for Mac, Windows and Linux on its FTP servers. As could be expected from Mozilla’s new, faster updating schedule, the changes in Firefox 6 appear to be mostly incremental.

The March launches of Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) and Firefox 4 failed to stop Microsoft's and Mozilla's decline in browser share, new Web usage data shows.

Mozilla ramps up schedule, targets June 21 to release the next update of its Firefox browser.

Mozilla drops the 'RC' and 'beta' qualifications to bring you the first complete version of Firefox for Android (it's available for Maemo, too.)

Neither Mozilla's Firefox 4 nor Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9 have been available for download very long, but the two browsers are already battling for dominance. Currently in the lead? Firefox, who snagged "twice as much usage in half the time."

As you're aware by now, earlier today Mozilla officially unveiled Firefox 4 to the world. At first glance, it's a great update with massive speed improvements. And that's good, because that's exactly what they need to combat the fast-rising Chrome browser from Google.

Microsoft has launched the finished version of its Internet Explorer 9 web browser amid tough competition from rivals. The company said IE9's graphics handling, security and privacy features put it on an even footing with Firefox, Chrome, Safari and others. The release comes as Microsoft's browser market share is being whittled down by a growing roster of rivals.
