The new Firefox 3.5 now supports open video formats. What does this mean ?
Firefox now supports Theora, which is a truly free and open video format for the internet. This means that we would have to do away with proprietary plugins or restricted codecs and license fees and be able to embed videos in websites are truly free and viewable by everyone. Mozilla believes that the quality of Theora can be improved and is supporting the development of Theora by giving a US $100,000 grant. This grant is to be administered by the Wikimedia Foundation and will go towards improving Theora’s encoders and playback libraries.

Posted by admin on December 19th, 2009
What is a great browser ? One that loads up quickly OR one that makes your browsing experience speedier than the other browsers? OR is the add-ons or the extensions which might include functional add ons or themes.
I would say that a major selling point of Firefox initially was its support for extensions which let you do all kinds of goody functional stuff with either the websites, bookmarks, web development functionality or other stuff.
And now Google Chrome is onto the bandwagon announcing that Chrome will support extensions, and which can be downloaded from https://chrome.google.com/extensions/
