Hello everyone.
Since this is the first post of this blog, we just wanted to introduce ourselves.
Universe Firefox is a web-site, and more specifically a weblog, about the free Mozilla’s web-browser. It is run by two Italian students who just wanted to experiment on their skin how it feels to have and run a blog, all by themselves, without the help of anyone.
It has been a while since we have decided to open one, but there were too many options bouncing around in our minds. The world of computers and the Internet itself is so wide that we couldn’t really pick a subject and, all of a sudden, we thought: “It is all about new Internet services, P2P clients, instant messaging…but why don’t we talk about what you really need to browse the internet? A web-browser?”
And so we did!
Universe Firefox, in fact, is going to be, or at least will try to be, a good resource for anyone who wants to be updated with Mozilla Firefox, know how to do things, discover everything about the million plug-ins and add-ons that have been built, and also to take advantage of all the web-based tools that can make Firefox even more powerful.
We look forward to hearing from you soon,
Nicolo’ and Giovanni.
