Firefox Icon Pillow Lets You Show Your Love for Your Preferred Browser

Hazel Chua — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:00:55 +0000

Before I discovered Google Chrome, I had always been a Mozilla Firefox girl. I disliked Internet Explorer because frankly, it made browsing websites a huge pain. Plus, you know, I loved that Firefox had all these plugins that you can install with a single mouse click.

I jumped to Firefox and still use it sometimes when my Chrome browser acts up. But when I saw this Firefox Icon Pillow, I just knew I either had to have it (or hint to someone that I wanted it, since it’s almost Christmas already anyway.)

I might be using another browser right now, but I will forever remember Firefox as the first browser that gave me an enjoyable surfing experience on the web. (So much drama for a browser, I know.)

The Firefox Icon Pillow is available from an Etsy shop appropriately called Icon Pillows for $19.99 (USD).

Firefox Halloween Costume: Gimme Some Mo, Zilla

Range — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 16:15:42 +0000

My Halloween dress up duties have thankfully already passed, but for some people, the big night out is coming up this Saturday. This Halloween, I’ve seen some really interesting costumes, including this Mozilla Firefox costume. It actually looks cute, which is a bonus.

This costume is definitely one for geekettes and thankfully, it doesn’t look uncomfortable. Other than color coordination, a few elements make this a winner, thanks to the cute fox tail, ears, and make-up.

In my book, the trick to finding a good Halloween costume is to come up with something unique, but still comfortable, because you’ll most likely be spending hours sweating inside of it.

Firefox Coming to the PS3?! Please be True [Rumors]

Lambert Varias — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:47:38 +0000

Sony rolled out firmware v. 3.10 for the PS3 today, bringing Facebook integration to the system. Your boss will now know that you’ve been playing Pro Evo 2010 instead of writing your blog posts. Yay. Screw that, here’s something us PS3 owners can look forward to: a PlayStation Insider source who’s “very close to Sony” says that the company has been discussing the possibility of porting Mozilla’s increasingly bloated/ultra-versatile web browser on to their console. <— THIS, SONY. WE WANT THIS.

Before we commit ourselves to this future, note how doubly frail this gossamer tip is – it’s a rumor about a possibility. So it may be as real as Duke Nukem Forever (or do kids nowadays refer to GT 5?). But a gamer can dream, can’t he?

Firefox 3 Easter Egg: the Robots have Arrived!

Karen M. — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:01:40 +0000

Firefox 3 hit the streets less than 24 hours ago, and a nifty little easter egg has already been uncovered. Simply type about:robots in the url bar and you’ll get this:

Oh no! They really are taking over!

I think my favorite bit is “Robots have seen things you people wouldn’t believe.” I wish they had elaborated on that a bit, as I would love to get inside the robot mind. Oh wait they don’t have minds. Or is it that they don’t have souls? I get confused.
