Some mobile phones are already equiped with Opera Mobile 9.5 such as HTC Touch Diamond. This is because preparing an application to work on different platform is a lot of work compared to application for specific platform.

Let’s just wait for the public beta release and by the way how is Fennec going?

Although this vulnerability details won’t be released to public until the Firefox developer has a chance to repair the problem, there is no waranty that nobody has found the same vulnerability. They might have created some tools to exploit this hole.

I’ve tried Opera 9.5 and see many improvements and brand new features. Here are the list of Opera 9.5 features that worth to mention. Well, not all mentioned here are brand new features, just to write down my own opinion of interesting Opera features.

• Opera Link
  Opera Link is a new feature that allows Opera users to synchronize their bookmark, speed dial and notes on desktop version with Opera Mini and vice versa.
   
• Enhanced Tab Menu
  
  You can duplicate the tab, lock the tab to avoid incidental closing, detach the tab, and even create a follower tab. Duplicate tab is duplicating/opening new tab with the same browsing history as the active tab, while follower tab is a tab that will open the link that you clik on the active tab.
   
• Open With
  
  “Open With” is the most democratic feature from Opera. You can easily open the current URL using this feature. Simply right click on the page, select Open With and you will see a list of your browser(s) and choose wich one to use. Fair enough, rite?

Well, sorry not to write other Opera features because I think you’ve read them somewhere in the net. Now let’s wait until tomorrow to see what Firefox had prepared to compete with Opera.

I checked the browser (Firefox) configuration, nothing seems wrong.  I checked Adobe Acrobat and nothing’s seem wrong either. Then I found a simple trick to solve the problem, thanks to Google.

Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat\Reader\Browser and you will see a file with .DLL extention. Copy the DLL file into Firefox’s plugin folder, it’s something like C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins. Then restart Firefox and try to open a PDF file or drag and drop a PDF file into Firefox.

Problem’s solved.

Here’s a quote from Mr Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO at Opera Software:

I invite you to see some this transition for yourself in our first “State of the Mobile Web” report. We looked at the aggregate, anonymous traffic of more than 44 million cumulative Opera Mini users worldwide to see where they chose to spend their time when using the Web on their mobile devices. I hope you find this report useful, actionable and interesting.

They also wrote the top ten sites visited using Opera Mini for users located in Russia, Indonesia, China, United States, India, South Africa, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Germany and Poland. Please jump to http://www.opera.com/mobile_report/ for details.

If you don’t know what is PHP Youtube Downloader, it is a simple PHP script that we can use to download video from Youtube.com. You must, at least, having PHP installed and CURL activated.

Have fun!

They reported that Fennec suit on Nokia N810 for the showcase. There’s no further information on which platform they will play. Will it be Linux, Windows Mobile, Symbian OS or even Java based?

Mozilla said that they want to ”transfer” the feel of browsing using Mozilla Firefox into this handheld browser and featuring synchronization between Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Fennec.

Based on Wikipedia, Fennec is a small fox found in the Sahara Desert of North Africa (excluding the coast) and in some parts of Arabia.

There’s no statement about the release date. All we can do is just waiting for the next information, for both Opera Mini and Opera Dragonfly, hopefully.
