Where can I download Firefox? If you here that question once, you point the user to the Mozilla website. If you hear that question multiple times throughout the day, you start to think that a Firefox downloading guide may be a more appropriate option to tell users how to download the web browser.

Thank You For Visiting NYTimes.com, How To Bypass
You may have heard that the New York Times will introduce its “paywall” on March 28. It basically limits visitors to 20 articles per month, after which a paywall message appears that asks them to sign up to become a subscriber to access the contents on the site.

WordPress: Customer Headers For Categories
I’m currently working a bit on the technical backend of this WordPress blog. You may know that I have started to create custom category pages for each blog category (like Windows, Firefox or Google) here at Ghacks which allowed me to add custom contents to each. I have added a custom heading and a short [...]
Manage Your Movie Collection With My Movie Library
My movie library has grown to a point where it makes sense to add all titles of the collection to a database to avoid duplicates and improve the collection overview. I’m pretty lazy in this regard and favor a software that would do all the ground work on its own. My Movie Library is that [...]

With all eyes on the Firefox 4 launch yesterday, updates for Firefox 3 have slipped by almost unnoticed. Mozilla yesterday made available updates for both active branches of the Firefox 3 web browser. Firefox users who are running Firefox 3.6.15 or Firefox 3.5.18 have the option to upgrade their browser to the latest Firefox 3 [...]
Firefox MinUI, Minimalistic Interface On Demand
We all know that the Firefox web browser has a full screen mode that can be activated by pressing F11. That mode hides all interface elements except the scrollbar when activated, which is great if you need more space to display the website or if you are working on low resolution monitors. Especially netbook owners [...]
Giganews 1000-Days Retention Giveaway
I love Giganews. The Usenet provider never let me down since I started using their service exclusively years ago. Sure, their pricing is a tad higher than that of other Usenet providers, but I think that it is well deserved. Especially the Diamond account is in my opinion still a bargain considering that you not [...]
