Firefox 4 Slips to 2011


Mozilla has admitted the next point release of its Firefox browser, slated for release this month, won't appear until some time in Q1 2010 and the next major release, originally targeted for the middle of next year, is likely to slip into 2011.

The news comes as some embarrassment for Mozilla, coming just a few days after it boasted Firefox 3.5 was the 'most popular browser' though some creative market share analysis.

While the 3.6 and 3.7 versions of the browser will feature security and stability enhancements - not least the long-awaited ability to run browser tabs in separate processes to prevent the whole thing falling in a heap each time one tab crashes - Firefox 4.0 will feature a Windows 7 look and feel, albeit almost a year after the Microsoft product hit the market.

Industry watchers say the delays will no doubt be welcomed at Redmond, as Internet Explorer 8, whose market share is growing steadily alongside the uptake of Windows 7, will now have a clear advantage over the increasingly clunky-looking Firefox and the bit-part players Safari and Chrome.

Mozilla will no doubt also be kicking off an internal inquiry as to why the point release of Firefox 3.6 has so far warranted no fewer than five public betas.

Kerajaan Jeumpa, Kerajaan Islam Pertama Nusantara

Teori tentang kerajaan Islam pertama di Nusantara sampai saat ini masih banyak diperdebatkan oleh para peneliti, baik cendekiawan Muslim maupun non Muslim. Umumnya perbedaan pendapat tentang teori ini didasarkan pada teori awal mula masuknya Islam ke Nusantara. Mengenai teori Islamisasi di Nusantara, para ahli sejarah terbagi menjadi 3 kelompok besar, yaitu pendukung (i) Teori Gujarat (ii) Teori Parsia dan (iii) Teori Mekah (Arab). Bukan maksud tulisan ini untuk membahas teori-teori tersebut secara mendetil, namun dari penelitian yang penulis lakukan, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa Teori Mekkah (Arab) lebih mendekati kebenaran dengan fakta-fakta yang dikemukakan. Teori Mekkah (Arab) hakikatnya adalah koreksi terhadap teori Gujarat dan bantahan terhadap teori Persia. Di antara para ahli yang menganut teori ini adalah T.W. Arnold, Crawfurd, Keijzer, Niemann, De Holander, SMN. Al-Attas, A. Hasymi, dan Hamka. i Arnold menyatakan para pedagang Arab menyebarkan Islam ketika mereka mendo...
