Deck Your Browser
(In Boughs of Awesome)

Firefox Well, look at that: another year almost over. It's been a great one here at Mozilla and we hope you've enjoyed keeping up with the latest each month. But just because this is the last one of the year doesn't mean we haven't loaded it up with plenty of goodies.

We've got some great year-end add-ons for you; a fun new way to test the speed of your Firefox; some ridiculously cute red pandas; a way to help others and do good this holiday season; a video about the Mozilla story; and more! As always, make sure you've got the latest version of Firefox so you stay safe and secure, both online and off.

How Fast is Your Firefox?

If you're not running the latest version of Firefox, you're not getting the best the Web has to offer. That's because the new Firefox is up to seven times faster. Which is nothing to sneeze at. (Unless you have a cold, in which case, bless you!) Check out our handy new tool to see if yours can keep up. It's fun, too!

Still not convinced? Here are 10 more reasons to upgrade that we think are pretty compelling.

The Story of Mozilla

Ever wondered what Mozilla is and does? Or about the pivotal place that Firefox has in our mission as a non-profit? This holiday season, we've put together a great animated video to help explain all that and more.

We think it helps break down in a fun and understandable way just why we do what we do and why it's so vitally important that we have you by our side. Please watch it today and consider making a year-end donation to support Mozilla's world-changing work.

 
 

Thousands of Ways to Enhance
Your Firefox

Your browser's been good this year — you know it has — and now that the holidays are almost here, it's time to reward it with the gift of add-ons. So we've put together a special End of Year Add-on Collection just for you. Here's what you get:

Integrated Gmail
Gmail, Calendar, Reader and more — get all your Google needs, all in one place.

Ciuvo
Find deals, compare prices, get customer reviews and product videos right in your browser.

PriceBlink
Find lower prices and coupons from thousands of retailers automatically while you shop.

There are also thousands more add-ons to choose from and the best part is that they're not only a gift for your Firefox, they're like a little gift for you, too (we happen to know you've also been good).

And don't forget to check out our Featured Add-ons at the bottom of the newsletter each month (including this one).

Cute, Cute and More Cute

Take a break from your busy day (or night) and click over to Firefox Live to watch a realtime, live feed of the adorable, fuzzy red panda (firefox) cubs in action at the Knoxville Zoo. While there, you'll find out how you can help the cubs grow up and learn a little more about our mission. But really, you'll mostly be there for the cute. We bet you'll be saying "d'awwwwwwwwwwww" in no time.

Be Part of the Mozilla Firefox Challenge

Over the years, we've brought together thousands of people to build a better Web. Not for profit, but for good. This holiday season, help us take it one step further. Join our friends Edward Norton, Will Ferrell, Seth Rogen, Sean Penn, Jonah Hill, Jason Bateman and Zooey Deschanel for the Mozilla Firefox Challenge on Crowdrise.

Donate to a celebrity's charity, join their fundraising team or raise money for your own favorite cause. Some of the charities include the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, Cancer for College, The Alzheimer's Association and The Innocence Project. Each celebrity team is also offering up great prizes, like a visit to the Arrested Development set with Jason Bateman, tickets to Seth Rogen's "Hilarity for Charity" fundraiser, a deck of cards signed by David Blaine or a copy of Elf signed by Zooey Deschanel. Do good for the world and help us show that individual action can have global impact.
