The latest version of your Firefox is now out! I’ve been using firefox ever since it was pheonix and I never had complaints. So I guess I wouldn’t come up with any right now!
Firefox 3.5 makes browsing faster. And adds a lot of minor/major functionality tweaks. Makes the awesome bar, even more awesome, and Introduces private browsing at last. But you could wait until all your extensions get upgraded. But most developers have already updated their extensions and you shouldn’t be surprised if most of your popular extensions would move up the upgrade ladder without much trouble.
Site rendering &performance has improved a lot. Read all about their performance upgrades here!
Go here for a complete list of top features.

Scribefire’s blogging extension for firefox was featured on thunderror.com a while ago.
I always had the press this bookmarklet on my bookmarks list, but had never bothered to use it until now. But I soon came to realize what a valuable tool it was. Instead of sending those weird bits and pieces of the internet to your tumblelog or your twitter, why not blog about them on your primary blog? Twitter as always has been a major distraction to my blogging activities. So get back to microblogging on your own blog. Thanks to Press this!
The bookmarklet allows you to post to your wordpress blog from anywhere on the web, which is as good as scribefire. All it takes is a click off the button. Like something you see on the web? Click on the bookmarklet and share it with your blog visitors.
I know most of you would already have used this tool if you own, or have owned a WP blog at some point of time. But this post is for all those people who wish to come back and blog more than they tweet!
If you have a wordpress blog, go to your tools page and you should find your press this button right there, waiting for you!

Once in a while comes a service so useful that it changes the way you do things drastically.
Posterous has to be one such service. Right from the ultra easy signup procedure to the basic concept on which the service is built.
Posterous lets you blog,
tweet,
friendfeed,
facebook and interact with many other sites using simply your mail account. Now that makes things so simple. True, there are other services like tumblr which let you post online using a mail. But posterous ensures that you do that much more easily. No need to remember those cryptic email addresses. All you need to do is, to mail
post@posterous.com. How easy can it get? which means that you needn't even register at posterous. Start posting those blog posts, photos, videos, stories, news and anything you care about just by sending a simple email.
It even allows you to post to more than one site at the same time, just a single site or to all the sites at once. Now that makes life a lot more easier. My blogging engine now rests inside my email client!

The new google mobile app for symbian brings the google desktop to the mobile phone. Well, almost. It still does not index the contents of your mobile phone, but its a step in the right direction.
The mobile application which starts up at the tap of the backspace key, allows you to load the google search page interface which is linked to the gmail mobile and google maps app, google news, picasa page and few other google services. It still does not include reader in its list which is surprising considering that google reader is one of the finest aggregators out there.
The application is something like a google services control center on your symbian mobile. A bit of android in your symbian?
