Camino Now Accepting Donations
Camino web browser development team recently announced that from now they will be accepting donations. And here’s the most interesting part of it:
Through the end of the year the Mozilla Foundation will match 2 to 1 every dollar donated (up to $10,000). Donating now makes your dollar go three times as far as it normally would.
What is Camino?
Camino is an open-source web browser developed by an all-volunteer team. While most web browsers are funded through search revenues, Camino is supported by volunteer efforts, gifts of kindness from contributors, and donations from users.

It’s finally here, the long awaited Firefox 3 Beta release from Mozilla’s Firefox team. Firefox 3 Beta 1 introduces some new features such as malware protection, auto add-ons or plugins versions checks for easy update as well as lots of improvements like new download manager or plugins management. What you should also expect from this, Firefox 3 Beta 1 release is performance. As it says in release notes, more than 300 individual memory leaks have been plugged.

That just sounds nice.

Operation Firefox Doing Really Well
I enjoy reading about various contests from Mozilla. They do know how to promote their products, original idea and great prizes to attract as many people as possible.
One of those contests is “Operation Firefox“.
After 3200 submissions, 50 Firefox agents were chosen. What they have to do now is to place the giant Firefox stickers in any visible places (where it is allowed) around the world until December 3rd.
If you have noticed any huge Firefox logos already, take a picture of them (if possible) and send me over, would be more than happy to post them here.
Isn’t that a great idea?
