Claiming a massive number of fixes, Mozilla has released Firefox 3 beta 4 (download for Windows and Mac). This version is more stable than previous FF3 betas, but it also showcases some of the more interesting new features that we'd been promised, but until now hadn't yet arrived. Trillian Astra's still alive, beta available here. Of the more than 900 changes and fixes, four of the most useful are the add-on finder, the full-page zoom, the one-click site info, and greater cross-platform integration. Extensions are handled the same way as in FF2: users can click on an XPI and it will automatically be saved to Firefox's add-ons folder. Now, though, you can search for add-ons and get your search results within the add-on window. You can search for and add recommended add-ons also. SmarterFox packs a productivity wallop. Peter Butler has taken a longer look at the changes Firefox 3 has wrought on some of his favorite extensions. Upcoming versions of Firefox support searching for plug-ins from the Add-on box. Although the new features installed plug-ins without a hitch, the discovery feature had some difficulty recognizing recommended Firefox 3-compatible add-ons that weren't installed. The one-click site info finally takes the charming but useless favicon and turns it into something worthwhile. Clicking on it in FF3 beta 4 provides site information like the Web site owner, their location, and whether the connection to the site is encrypted or not. Favicons for Web sites like PayPal that use Extended Validation SSL will turn green. Non-verified sites will indicate only that the site status is unknown. The full-page zoom is a useful tweak to an old feature. Гравити Фолз Дневник 1 read more. Although you've been able to zoom in or out on text in Firefox 2, this new feature allows for entire pages--including graphics--to be enlarged or shrunk at constant proportions. It's a good improvement, although I'd also like to see a "quick restart" button standard on the Toolbar. juicysoftware. They both strike me as being about as popular equally. The cross-platform integration speaks to Firefox's desire for broad appeal: improvements have been made to Firefox iterations running on Windows Vista, as well as Mac and Linux platforms. The Vista improvements take advantage of Vista widgets in the browser and Web forms. The Mac changes are largely cosmetic, with a new OS X theme designed to make FF look like a native app, as well as support for OS X Growl and widgets notifications. The Linux changes are cosmetic as well, utilizing the native GTK theme. The location bar favicon becomes useful by revealing site security and other details in Firefox 3 beta 4. Another well-done change is the revamp of the auto-completion feature in the location bar. In Firefox 3, when you start typing a URL the auto-complete will scan your bookmarks for suggestions as well as recently visited sites, and you also get the site title along with the suggested URL. Site ideas that come from your bookmarks are marked by yellow stars. Revamps of the way that Firefox handles JavaScript and memory cycles should bring about even faster performance than previous beta versions of FF3, but it was a little hard to eyeball that honestly.

Although Firefox 3's features are a major improvement to the wildly popular browser, faster response times in a Web-intensive site like Gmail make me hopeful that the engine work being done will have a big-time payoff. holoblogs.

KidZui for Windows and Mac seems like a kid-ified browser with social networking rolled in. Классические Виртуальные Казино Онлайн Бездепозитный Бонус 2016 С Выводом. Children can find their favorite YouTube videos, rate content using tags, and share opinions with other KidZui friends, all from a colorful interface with big buttons and labels. KidZui is anything but a standard childrens' browser, though, and what makes it so unique is precisely why it's such a safe tool for children. KidZui is a closed system, not filter-driven, so all content that's available has been approved by editors into a whitelist database. Children can explore the Internet by using the search/URI bar, or search by a left-navigation sidebar that's organized by subject areas including science, movies and TV, games, sports, and animals. Star Apps: Jared Leto. Just below the search bar are three tabs, for Web browsing, Photos, and Video. Parental registration is required before your child can create "Zui," in the program's parlance.

Children can customize their avatars to a limited degree in the free version, with more options available via a paid upgrade. MN8-3. Free KidZui is fully functional, but upgrading offers more definitely. Among the additions: children get more content rating tags, more avatar clothing, and more backgrounds, while parents get the capability to block individual sites, can view an unlimited history of the child's browsing, and can force-add sites to their children's favorites list. KidZui offers children one of the safest Web browsing methods I've seen. Parents get the peace of mind that their children are both learning and having fun without relinquishing their role as the final arbiter of the Internet experience. If you're hesitant, KidZui offers a Firefox extension that replicates the KidZui experience in Mozilla's browser. I'm going on vacation for the next few weeks, until January 2009 so this will be the last Featured Freeware. You can peruse the past nine months of Featured Freeware here. fsmediaget.
