If you’re like me and sometimes really tax your Mac (this is assuming you are, in fact, a Mac owner), you may experience a kernel panic.
They’re not fun.
Some people have observed that they have occurred while using seemingly innocuous applications like Firefox 3.0.x, or a mixture of PowerPC-based and Intel-based applications. But, unfortunately, the causes [...]

Just in time to close out the end of the 1st half of 2009, Firefox 3.5 was officially released yesterday by the Mozilla folks, amidst a surprisingly small amount of fanfare.
Is it because of the “.5″ portion of its version number? Or is it because many people who were previously enamored with Firefox 2 were [...]

Later today, around 11:00 AM PT (that equates to 2:00 PM ET), Google will be announcing the availability of their Google Chrome beta product.
Is this something brand-new and innovative? No.
Is this something of interest to Web and enterprise developers? Yes… and here’s why:

True to their word, the Mozilla folks have made good on their threat to broadcast the Firefox 3.0.1 upgrade to current Firefox 2.0.0.16 users:
If you haven’t seen the modal dialog pop up on top of your Firefox 2.0.0.16 browser screens yet, you’re going to, especially if you have the auto-update checking on.
This is an uncharacteristic [...]

Just when I think Firefox 3.0 may be something fun and exciting to explore is a somewhat “safe” way (“safe” being relative for the downright nasty hackers of us in the crowd), here comes the potentially scary news: that at least one commenter is reporting that FF3 is a memory hog…
Argh! Am I running back [...]

Congratulations to All-of-Us-Who-Participated-in-the-Massive-Download-Event!
(And, let’s not forget the Firefox team and the Mozilla bunch for releasing Firefox 3.0 in the first place!)
According to the Spread Firefox webpage, the record for most downloads in a 24-hour period was summarized as:
From 18:16 UTC on June 17, 2008 to 18:16 UTC on June 18, 2008, 8,002,530 people downloaded Firefox [...]

Remember my rant (post-memory upgrade on the Mac Pro) about Firefox 2.0 bombing around 900 MB-ish RAM utilization level?
Here’s a quick update:
It looks like Firefox 2.0.0.14 is still hanging on, without crashing. Thus far, it’s pushed to the 1.18 GB RAM utilization level, and there’s still 1.33 GB of free system memory not yet touched.
Excellent!

Lately, I’ve been noticing a disquieting issue with Firefox 2.0. It typically seems to die around 850 – 892 MB RAM utilization (total RAM utilization will vary); sometimes, I get lucky enough to get higher, toward almost 1 GB RAM utilization before it croaks.
When I got my Mac Pro as a stock configuration, I was thinking, [...]

Do you also want to have a piece of history to go with your history-making download of Firefox 3.0?
A cute feature at the Spread Firefox site is the feature to “Flaunt It“: use the online PDF generation tool to create your own official certificate (see the associated picture of one of these certs, courtesy of [...]

Have you downloaded your Firefox 3.0 today?
If you tried to download it right after it was announced around 1:16 PM ET today, and you managed to get through, then you’re one of the lucky ones.
Apparently, the overwhelming traffic took down the primary download servers that the Mozilla bunch set up.
The good news is that the [...]
