Yahoo has been a tough competitor of Google, in recent times we have noticed that Yahoo has come up with new and innovative tools and services to give Google a tough time.

In this process of giving competition Yahoo has recently released a plug-in that gives boost up to search box of Internet Explorer, Firefox & Safari. This is plug-in is named as Inquisitor.

Mozilla CEO says the first Alpha version of Firefox Mobile will be available in a few weeks. That’s pretty exciting!

It’s not clear exactly what devices or operating systems will be supported by the early Alpha. Pre-alpha releases of the browser, code-named Fennec, are already available. But at the moment, they only run on the Nokia N810 internet tablet. The N810 is a pretty cool little device, but it’s not as ubiquitous as say, Windows Mobile or Symbian powered cellphones.

Mozilla does plan to make a Windows Mobile version of Firefox Mobile available. I just don’t know whether we’ll see that version in a few weeks when Fennec hits alpha.

And exactly when you thought Google Chrome was going to take over Firefox, ChromiFox jumps in to save the day.

ChromiFox is a bright and soft blue theme for Firefox 3 which brings the charms of Google Chrome to Firefox. For users who love the Chrome interface but simply cannot live without Firefox, ChromiFox is the ultimate deal.

A lot of users have fallen in love with Chrome because of its design. ChromiFox will help such users emulate the Chrome UI in Firefox allowing them to make use of all Firefox features.

The theme is created by the developer of Camifox and is still in a BETA.

It works on all platforms i.e. Windows, Mac and Linux. The user must sign in to the Firefox addons site first to download the theme.
