The Mozilla Firefox project is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform, supporting Linux, Android, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. It is a fast, small and very easy-to-use web browser/navigator/explorer that offers many advantages over other similar products, such as the ability to block pop-up windows and the feature-rich tabbed browsing experience.

Features at a glance

The application offers a well designed graphical user interface that integrates search (powered by Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.), and industry leading accessibility with Find As You Type - find links and page text by simply typing. As mentioned before, the Firefox browser features comprehensive pop-up controls, which will keep unwanted advertising off your desktop. A tab browsing mode will let you open several pages in a single window, allowing you to load links in the background without leaving the page you're on.

Mozilla Firefox 38.0.5 changelog

• Keep track of articles and videos with Pocket
• Clean formatting for articles and blog posts with Reader View
• Share the active tab or window in a Hello conversation
• A race condition that would cause Firefox to stop painting when switching tabs

Font Manager is intended to provide a way for average users to easily manage desktop fonts, without having to resort to command line tools or editing configuration files by hand.

Note : Font Manager should reload itself anytime fonts are installed or removed either through the application or any other method.

Font Sources

Note : Fonts in these folders should be available for preview in the application even if they are not enabled system wide.


Missing / Planned features :

Help contents

Character map details viewer

Database search

FontConfig editor
- session-wide settings
- per font settings
- aliases (low priority)

Exporting Collections
- proof sheet
- html?

How to Upgrade to Linux Kernel 4.1 RC6 on Ubuntu / Linux Mint

Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.

Includes powerful features
Linux provides users with powerful features, such as true multitasking, multistack networking, shared copy-on-write executables, shared libraries, demand loading, virtual memory, and proper memory management.

Initially designed only for 386/486-based computers, now Linux supports a wide range of architectures, including 64-bit (IA64, AMD64), ARM, ARM64, DEC Alpha, MIPS, SUN Sparc, PowerPC, as well as Amiga and Atari machines.

The source is available now. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations.
