Posted in Internet, News  by Eric

Mozilla announced that they will change the search option of Firefox 4. Of course, Google is still the default search engine of Firefox, but Bing also will be one option of the new browser. After the update, the users of Firefox 4 can choose to use Bing in the search box, and without the need for special setup and activation.

Google will pay millions of dollars to Mozilla each year to make sure that Google will be the default search engine of Firefox browser, and it means that Google is an important source of revenue of Mozilla, but Mozilla has repeatedly announced that the change of search option will not affect the cooperation between Google and Mozilla. The change is just because Bing has been more mature, and it also can meet the needs of a large number of Firefox users.

In addition to Google and Bing, the standard search option also includes Amazon, eBay, Wikipedia and Yahoo.

Posted in News, Security  by Eric

In order to attract more "bored hackers" and "software genius", Google has just announced a new step. Google increased bonus to 3133.70 U.S. dollars for browser security bug for those who discover security problems or other bug in Chrome browser. As we know, Google's security bug bonus plan is just followed after the Mozilla. Mozilla had upgraded award amount to 3000 U.S. dollars.

A few days ago, Mozilla updated their security bug award program, to reward who find out bug of Firefox browser, Desktop, Thunderbird e-mail client, and mobile version of Firefox browser and other software. This is paid close attention for a huge increase over the previous bonus.

Faced with the rich Google, Mozilla Corporation will just be ordinary well-off homes, since Google ups highest reward amount to 3133.70 U.S. dollars for Chrome security flaws. However, this requires users to report vulnerabilities achieve "critical" level. Of course, it's fact that users find it more difficult to discover serious bug. Google is still pay 500 dollars bonus for general security flaw ,but for the expert who occasionally earn some money is pretty good income.

Chorme' violent increase of market share has threatened Firefox, who is now the second of market share ranking. Chrome was growing vehemently during the past months. This situation will be keeping on with Chrome 5.0's comprehensive application among Windows, Max and Linux.

Firefox's prime plan was to grab advanced users from IE 6, into average users homeopathicly. So Firefox intended to succeed IE(more precisely, IE6), and provide great customization capabilities by expanding add-ons.

Unfortunately, IE6 is decomposed and its extension system basing on XUL is extremely cumbersome. Firefox's development team has put Chrome's salient features into Firefox design during future program, E.g. displaying on tap, no reboot to install extensions, etc. Especially, Firefox 3.7 Alpha 5 has already brought about displaying on on the top of tab. Interested clients can download corresponding version (Windows, Mac,Linux), then click "Tabs on Top" by right-click navigation bar. We are sure that Firefox 3.7's first beta version will be released immediately, as the fifth alpha version's appearance.

This version is a regular security and stability update.However, some rumors even thought the Mozilla made a mistake and somehow missed the 3.6.1 release, but that's not the case. Firefox 3.6 had come out at the end of January. So in effect, Mozilla is skipping a numbered release.

And in Firefox 3.6.2, it:
• Fixed a critical security issue that could potentially allow remote code execution
• Fixed several additional security issues.
• Fixed several stability issues.

As to the reason whey the skipped out the 3.6.1, The Mozilla platform wiki provides some indication. The Firefox 3.6.2 release is based on the Gecko 1.9.2.2 platform and the wiki notes that Mozilla may potentially be skipping the version number of Firefox 3.6.1 in order to stay in sync with platform.
