Mozilla is rebranding Firefox. The company is asking for feedback on the new look, which will try to cover the various Firefox offerings. For most people, Firefox refers to a browser, but the company wants the brand to encompass all the various apps and services that the Firefox family of internet products cover, “from easy screenshotting and file sharing to innovative ways to access the internet using voice and virtual reality.” The fox with a flaming tail “doesn’t offer enough design tools to represent this entire product family,” Mozilla believes. Instead of recoloring the logo and dissecting the fox, the company wants to start from scratch. That said, the name “Firefox” is staying, so Mozilla doesn’t have that much wiggle room.

I used to use netscape/MIS, but the continuation, Seamonkey, seems to still be going. I have no idea of its current state of development, or extension compatibility, but it might be worth a look.

I also went to SeaMonkey when my Firefox got infected with some malware from a radio/MP3 recorder soundcard driver, which transferred when I plugged a USB cable from my computer to the radio as per instructions. I thought the connection was for the purpose of accessing the radio's SD card for .MP3 like a camera does for images. But that's not what happened. It was an opportunity for the radio manufacturer to shove DRM enforcement software to me labeled as a "driver". The whole purpose of which seemed to make it very difficult to re-encode .MP3 audio of youtube videos. Should have never done that. 3.5mm audio cable only from now on.
( this particular one made YouTube audio play at a really low volume...even after I had removed the connection. I am sure it was some sort of behind the scenes DRM handshaking going on.)
I had been running an older copy of Firefox. When I reinstalled the latest Firefox, I simply no longer had enough CPU or memory to run it. At this point, something was now amiss where I could not go back to the earlier version.
It would appear to work then hang up all the time.
I ended up going to SeaMonkey and its been working fine ever since. And, no, I am not about to plug the radio back into the USB port. I guess I needed another lesson taught about the risks of plugging anything into the USB port, even if it was something bought retail. If it needs USB, think twice before tendering money, that's fer sure!
No matter what they *say*, they always have "hold harmless" on their side. Doing anything a business tells you do do.... its you that's placing your ass on the line should you comply.
