So, either somebody is HACKING Mozilla’s servers and grabbing email addresses

Within 3 weeks I started receiving spam emails to that address!! THE ONLY PEOPLE WITH ACCESS TO THAT EMAIL ADDRESS WERE MOZILLA AND MYSELF! I then never used it to interact with any websites or used it to send email. I simply created a new email address on my server and signed up with Mozilla with it. I wondered about the ‘security’ aspects of running Chrome instead of FF and did a simple test to see if even my most basic data was kept secure by Mozilla.

Overall the biggest change is clearly the user interface, with the menu icon moved to the right side of the toolbar, the browser tabs given rounded edges, and the entire UI generally designed to take up less space so that more of your screen is devoted to the websites you’re viewing. You can now drag and drop icons for functions including sync, download, or add-ons to your toolbar to change the layout of the browser. There’s also a new Gamepad API and anew customization mode. Data that’s shared over the internet is encrypted. Mozilla has also launched Firefox Accounts, which provide a new way to synchronize your data between multiple devices running the Firefox web browser. If you really don’t like the new look, you can pretty much revert to a more classic feel by installing a third-party plugin.īut the new user interface is just one of the things that changes in Firefox 29. The team has been testing the browser’s new user interface (code-named Australis) for a while, and it’s been available to folks running Firefox 29 beta since March. In fact, it looks more like Google Chrome than it looks like earlier versions of Mozilla’s web browser. Mozilla is releasing Firefox 29 this week, and the first thing most people will notice about the web browser is that it looks quite different from Firefox 28.
