Back to Firefox

Well it seems a simple clearing of the cookies, cache, history, ect. seems to speed up Firefox 0.9.2 very much. I am happy Firefox is back to how it was. For maintance, I have decided to clear my cookies, cache, history, ect. on a regular schedule to keep Firefox speedy. Speeking of Firefox, 1.0 is getting cloce. The current nightly builds have alot of new things that will go in to 1.0. Firefox 1.0 will be great.
Firefox Roadmap

Switch (for now, I think)

I have swithced browsers from Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2 to Mozilla 1.7.1. The reasion, Firefox has realy slowed down for me lately, and I wanted somthing faster for my browser. I may look around Firefox's "about:config" to see if I can tweak any settings to speed it up a little. Mozilla 1.7.1 has also been a bit more stable than Firefox for me, also. Firefox is still in beta, so maybe the 1.0 release will be a bit more stable and faster. If I can find a way to speed up Firefox, I will switch back, but for now I am using Mozilla 1.7.1.

Sorting

Today, I finally took the time to reorginize my Photobucket account to make it easier to find images, and delete some old images. I was wanting to do this for a while, but I never got around to doing it. I reorginized all of my images on my hard drive in to descriptave folders a few weeks back, but never got around to my Photobucket account until now. I hope none of my image links are broken now.

Mozilla Security Updates

Mozilla.org has released security updates for the Mozilla App Suite, Firefox, and Thunderbird for Windows users. Mozilla.org says
"On July 7 a security vulnerability affecting browsers for the Windows operating system was reported to mozilla.org by Keith McCanless, and was subsequently posted to Full Disclosure, a public security mailing list. On the same day, the Mozilla security team confirmed the report of this security issue affecting the Mozilla Application Suite, Firefox, and Thunderbird and discussed and developed the fix at Bugzilla bug 250180. We have confirmed that the bug affects only users of Microsoft's Windows operating system. The issue does not affect Linux or Macintosh users.

On July 8th, the Mozilla team released a configuration change which resolves this problem by explicitly disabling the use of the shell: external protocol handler. The fix is available in two forms. The first is a small download which will make this configuration adjustment for the user. The second fix is to install the newest full release of each of these products. Instructions on administering these changes can be found below."

If you are using Windows and a Mozilla product, you should install the patch, or upgrade to Mozilla 1.7.1, Firefox 0.9.2, and Thunderbird 0.7.2.
