Firefox for Mobile (codenamed Fennec) is the name of the build of the Mozilla Firefox web browser for smaller non-PC devices, mobile phones and PDAs. Firefox for mobile 1.0 uses the same version of the Gecko layout engine as Firefox 3.6.

I got up this morning and saw this, which led me to a pretty serious WTF moment, all before having my morning coffee.

From the article:

"Mozilla’s Director of Firefox, Mike Beltzner confirmed the fact that an x64 flavor of Firefox won’t be added to the existing x86 version, per the 32-bit/64-bit Internet Explorer 8 model.

As it promised, Mozilla has created a page that checks for outdated plug-ins used by Firefox.

The upcoming Firefox 3.5.3 and Firefox 3.0.14 releases, currently in beta, will check the version of Adobe Flash plug-in installed in the browser and warn the user if that plug-in is out of date.

"I've been taking a few Firefox plug-ins for granted, so here's a little nod to some excellent add-ons which have made my life easier *nods*. The plug-ins I'm talking about are Firebug, Web Developer Toolbar and Dummy Lipsum."

Mozilla has confirmed that the next major release of the Firefox web browser - version 4.0 - will feature a built-in silent update system that will automatically upgrade the the open source browser

Although Firefox 3.5 (formerly Firefox 3.1) is still in beta, Mozilla is already developing Firefox 3.6 code-named Namoroka. Slated for an early-to-mid 2010 release, the browser will be marketed as Firefox.next (FX) moniker in a nod to new technologies set to take Firefox to the next level.

"Please note: We do not recommend that anyone other than developers and testers download the Firefox 3 Beta 3 milestone release. It is intended for testing purposes only. Firefox 3 Beta 3 is now available for download. This is the eleventh developer milestone focused on testing the core functionality provided by many new features and changes to the platform scheduled for Firefox 3. Ongoing planning for Firefox 3 can be followed at the Firefox 3 Planning Center, as well as in mozilla.dev.planning and on irc.mozilla.org in #granparadiso. New features and changes in this milestone that require feedback include..." -- ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.0b3/linux-i686/

Mozilla has started disabling older versions of the Java Development Toolkit plug-in in its Firefox web browser in a bid to prevent attackers from exploiting critical vulnerabilities
