Firefox 1.0.6 Released
Just a week ago I posted that Firefox 1.0.5 was released, which fixed a few security issues and promised more stability. Yet today, the Mozilla Foundation released another update to the popular browser. The last one broke some extensions, but this should be fixed now. Get your Firefox here.

IE’s dead, hail the new King!

Except for ‘some’ who went to the XTech conference last week. And for those who know there’s a developer preview release of Firefox 1.1 available. So why am I…
