Kanok’s Balcony

I’m a big fan of Firefox and try to use Firefox as much as I can.  However, I found that some Internet banking in Thailand support only IE.  Can’t blame them since almost 85% of Thais Internet user use what ever browser Windows provides.

Until recently I found another problem keeping me back to IE.  Youtube!  Youtube use Adobe Flash to play its video online.  Looks like there is some problem with recent Flash player when installing to Firefox.  The video will stop exactly 2 second while the video still load.

I do some research on Internet and found the fix from HERE.  Seems like the installation of Flash has failed to put the file to Firefox directory.  Now Youtube back to work.

Does anyone know Firefox?  It is a rival Internet browser to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.  The developer claims that it is faster and more secure than IE.  It gain more and more popularity as the market share grows.  The Mozilla foundation is continually develop and add more functionality to this program.  And now it come to the third generation.

For over 34 months that Mozilla foundation and developer around the world develop Firefox 3.  They had announced that the will release long await Firefox 3 on June 17… (see the announcement HERE)   They even have a campaign to set a download World Record.

But wait June 17 on whose time?   Is it GMT, PDT, ICT or what?   It is clearly that they are over joy on their new product and forget that there is time zone in use on this planet.  People on one side that get to June 17 than others wait the whole day wait for Firefox to appears and they announce.  Until later on June 17 they must have tones of e-mail from east side of the world that “where is Firefox on June 17? I’m about to go to bed already”  that they announce that it will be June 17 at 1700 UTC (see the announcement HERE)

By the time they release their product, it is already June 18 here already.
