This adds a little speaker button next to the Like, Add To, Share, Flag section on YouTube ...

Firefox Plumber is an interesting new application that claims to fix the memory leak issues that Firefox is historically famous for. Although, with each new upcoming version Mozilla has improved the memory management of the browser and less and less bugs remain there. However, even if you use the latest Firefox 4 and make heavy use of it by opening many tabs with multimedia rich content and for sure after say an hour memory consumption shoots to 500MB or even more. This is particularly true if you ...

If you are on a wide-screen monitor (which I think is true for most users these days as almost all laptops as well as computer-screens are shipping with wide-screen aspect ratio, I am sure you noticed the these white space borders on left and right sides when viewing a webpage in any web browser. ON wide-screen monitors this space goes to a waste unless you use two or more website windows open side-by-side or alternatively you zoom in to the webpage to get rid of these side white-borders.        ...

After a few days delay (from the planned release schedule) finally Mozilla has released the first official beta of the Firefox 5.0. As we mentioned some time ago that based on their experiences with the Firefox 4 delays, Mozilla is shifting to a more rapid release cycle with the Firefox 5, 6 and future versions.
