Firefox’s mobile browser is truly a figment of people’s overactive imagination no more. After last week’s announcement that we’ll see an alpha real soon comes a few screenshots to prove that Mozilla’s CEO wasn’t just rattling off some tentative dates to appease impatient fans.

Last June, the Firefox Mobile browser codenamed “Fennec” was only a concept Mozilla is working on. Rumors came out that the target release date is 2010, but it was debunked later afterwards. A recent interview with Mozilla CEO revealed that we’ll be seeing the Firefox Mobile real soon though.

If you’re still not persuaded that upgrading to Firefox 3 equates to any benefits, check out the Firefox 3 Youtube video below (Great work Jimmy!):

Without the advantage of being pre-installed in the world’s most used operating system, Firefox is slowly catching up to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer as the Internet browser of choice. It is now the second most used browser with an 18.41% share of the browser market. This achievement is non-trivial.

Yes, Firefox is really coming to mobile devices. Firefox Mobile (codenamed Fennec) is still in the experimental stages and it’s not yet known when it’ll become available to the masses. In fact, there still isn’t a working demo available of the actual browser itself, but this demo of a mock-up user interface shows quite a promising future for Firefox Mobile.

If you’re a web designer, you’ll share my pain as I describe my frustrations of having to write style sheets (CSS) for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6 and EVERYTHING else. I spent a good part of my evening yesterday trying to fix our “IE6″ version of the site which I realised has had a whacked-out menu for at least 5 months.

If it wasn’t for the fact that there are a lot of you out there still using it, I would quite happily not bother about it. Check out this May’s Urchin Stats Report on Browser / Operating Systems visting my site:

PicLens is a special plug-in for various web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Flock. The plug-in gives you the capacity to view enabled web sites as a dynamic wall of images rather than the usual image thumbnail lists.

For those who are using Twitter and are of the refined browsing club who use Firefox, you’ll love TwitterFox. This Firefox extension allows you to see that status of friends, families and whoever else you’re following from the comfort of your current Firefox browser without having to visit the Twitter website or run a separate Twitter app. It’s also just as easy to send up your Twitter updates too!

I got wind of TwitterFox through one of my “followers” and now friends, ericnicolaas. Thanks Eric!

I’m a big fan of Firefox, so when news arrived through my RSS feed that Firefox 3 (in final testing stages) will come with major speed improvements, my ears (eyes) pricked up. When it comes to processing Javascript, Firefox 3 will be 9.3x faster than Microsoft Internet Explorer. For Gmail it will be 6.8x faster than MIE. Decent improvement if you ask me.

Other improvements include a more complex bookmarking system, changes in location bar and handy tab saving abilities.

If it weren’t for web presentation / CSS issues with IE6, I wouldn’t touch Internet Explorer at all.

Can’t wait!
