By 1 Comment

Mozilla has released Firefox 10 Stable version for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.

Important Note: Bookmark this page (Press CTRL + D) to always Get the latest update about Mozilla Firefox including direct download links for all platforms.

Mozilla announced their move to rapid release cycle about nine months ago, since the move, Firefox has moved from version 4 to 10.

According to the official beta change log, Firefox 10 brings in a lot of new features, which you’d expect from a six-week update cycle. Firefox 10 features extension management improvements, a forward button that hides itself until you need it, the inclusion of APIs for full-screen web apps, and anti-aliasing for WebGL.

With Firefox 10, Mozilla introduces the ESR (Extended Support Release) version of the browser primarily for enterprises. ESR releases will receive no updates apart from necessary security fixes, and will change versions once every seven releases. So, after six months when regular Firefox 10 users will be upgrading to Firefox 11, ESR users will be upgraded to version 10.1.

You can download Firefox 10 from the download links given at the end of this post. [Read more...]

Waiting for Official Firefox 64-Bit? Try Waterfox, A Faster Variant of Firefox

By Leave a Comment

With each new release of Firefox by Mozilla, we see better performance, stability and security. But, despite all these improvements, Firefox is still resolutely a 32-bit browser. Yes, Mozilla is still working on Firefox 64-bit, but for some reason, they haven’t officially released any 64-bit builds for Firefox. If you can’t wait, you can grab a nightly build of the 64-bit available for Windows and Linux from Mozilla servers.

Many people will hesitate to use a nightly build for regular use. For those who wants stability and don’t want to try a risky nightly build, Waterfox might be an answer. Waterfox is an actual Firefox version, optimized for 64-bit systems and aims to fill the void. The release cycle of Waterfox is in sync with Firefox’s official release cycle. With last week’s Firefox 9 release, the Waterfox project developers released version 9.0 of its own software. Convincing enough to try? We guess, it is. Let’s quickly go through the main features of Waterfox. [Read more...]

By 2 Comments

Utilities like CCleaner are effective to some extent in cleaning up the leftover registry entries and temporary files. But using advanced application uninstaller that can completely uninstall apps makes more sense to keep Windows operating system in good shape. Revo Uninstaller is one such application that can completely uninstall an app and is an alternative to “Windows Add or Remove Programs” applet. Let’s see if it really can do what it claims for.
