I miss writing about things concerning Firefox. I just can’t wait for 3’s beta version to be released. In any case, I guess we’ll just have to content ourselves with extensions. Unfortunately, new ones seem to come sporadically.

My Firefox browser notified me again that it needs to restart to install version 2.0.0.6. I was really expecting that the next time I’ll be installing a new version of Firefox will be with Firefox 3 Beta but it seems that Mozilla is patching a few security loopholes with this 2.0.0.6.
