Firefox eBay Edition : Is Mozilla sold out?

Providing branded versions of Firefox isn’t so new. Google already offers its own Firefox download with a pre-installed Google toolbar. But now Mozilla itself has launched the new Firefox eBay Edition, a more focused version of Firefox for eBay customers. There’s also an add-on for existing Firefox users. This edition is designed to work with eBay sites in the UK, France, and Germany. The new edition includes the following features:

  • Integrated search
  • An eBay sidebar that provides instant access to real-time updates on items users have bid on, are selling, or are watching
  • Support for eBay’s Account Guard
  • Status alerts

Many people seem to be complaining that Mozilla has sold out. But as long as users have the choice of whether or not to use the eBay Edition, we don’t see this as any sort of sellout. Still, Mozilla must be careful when taking steps like this, as it heavily relies on its “fans.” ~SeeJay

Portable Firefox!- Use the same Firefox Wherever you go!

There was a time when all the internet cafes and office computers had only Internet Explorer installed. A few of us Firefox fans really missed our Firefox-running home computers back then. Luckily, now almost every computer has Firefox installed, so we don’t have to worry about missing all those invaluable features like tabbed browsing, keyboard shortcuts, and more.
But there’s another problem. We miss all our favorite extensions, bookmarks, and themes when we’re away from home. 😦 Don’t worry, there’s a nice way to solve that problem.

Easily Stop Firefox from Consuming Your Cpu Cycles

You may be thinking that you’ve done everything to stop this nasty habit of Firefox. But have you tried this? I’ve done it in Firefox 2.0.0.3, but it will work with all other versions of Firefox too. OK, here’s the trick.

1. Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter to open the Firefox expert configuration page.
2. Type browser.cache.disk.capacity in the Filter text box.
3. Change the value to 16384.
4. Restart Firefox, and there you go!
After doing this, CPU usage for Firefox should stay under 10%.
