Firefox Friday Five: on security, the World Cup and WebM

Filed under: Features, Mozilla, Browsers

Another week has slid past, and again both 3.6.4 and 3.5.10 have failed to emerge! I can only assume that Mozilla is feverishly working away on a critical bug or feature -- and really, unless they get 3.6.4 out of the door this week, I don't think we'll see Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 this month.

The World Cup is here! Close to a billion souls will watch on as a bunch of sweaty men in short shorts kick an inflated sheep's bladder around a field. Fun!

Fortunately, for the computer chair patriot or the football fans who care enough to actually hang an oversized flag out their windows, there's the Firefox Cup. By equipping one of the 32 national personas, you add a point to your team on the Firefox Cup website. There are five 'rounds', with a winner at the end of each -- but considering Argentina and Brazil are already over 1,300, with the US and UK below 200, we've probably already lost. (North Korea has just 3 votes, ha HA!)

Maybe though... just maybe... you can change the tide! Tell your friends! We can't let those commie pigs win!
