Keep Your Resolutions With Firefox

Happy new year, dear readers! Hope you had a great holiday and that you're starting the year off right. We have some exciting things planned for 2012 and we're looking forward to sharing them all with you. For starters, we have some tools to make it easier for you to keep your resolutions; we have a great new version of Firefox to tell you about, especially if you have an Android tablet.

Most importantly, we'd like to say thank you to everyone who has helped keep the Web open and innovative. Whether you made a donation to Mozilla in 2011 or made your voice heard against SOPA & PIPA, you've helped keep the Web a public resource for opportunity and a place where everyone can benefit.

6 Tools For Resolution Success

When the clock strikes 12:01 on January 1st, we all have grand notions of the resolutions we'd like to make for the year. Of course, making them is the easy part; it's keeping them that's the real trick. Well, we made our own resolution this year: to keep putting you - and users everywhere - first. So we made a list of the most common resolutions people make and came up with some ways to help you stay on track for success.

Things to Start:

Saving Money
Stopping for takeout four times a week can be pricey. If you'd rather opt for home-cooked meals, Grocery List Generator will make sure you don't forget to pick up that crucial ingredient.

Traveling
You've talked about going on a trip so often that it almost feels like you've already done it. Get yourself on the road (for real) with TravelScout's convenient deals and price comparisons.

Learning a New Language (kinda)
Maybe you don't have time to learn an entire new language this year, but this is almost as good! Use Im Translator to translate foreign language websites and emails into your language.

Things to Stop:

Overeating
Kick your holiday gorging habit with the Calorie Count Toolbar, which logs your caloric intake throughout the day.

Stressing Out
We know you're busy, but taking a few minutes every hour to stretch and look at something other than a computer screen will do wonders for your stress levels (not to mention your joints). Try out StretchClock for useful reminders!

Smoking
Ready to put down those cigarettes for good? Try using Quitomzilla for incentives right in your browser.

And if your plans fall through despite all of this awesome motivation, don't worry, we're not here to judge. Cheer yourself up with a new Persona!

New Year, New Firefox

While you were busy getting geared up for the holidays, we were busy delivering a faster Firefox for desktop and a redesigned version of Firefox for Android tablets. If you're wondering why you should upgrade and you really should, by the way, here are some great reasons:

Get an Android Tablet?
If you were nice and got a shiny new Android tablet, you're in for a treat. Our latest version for mobile is optimized for the way you use tablets and makes browsing even more awesome. It has a new tab experience, a new Action Bar with one-touch bookmarking, great new functionality for developers and more. Find out how it can make your online experience even better.

Didn't Get a Tablet?
If you were nice and got lots of great gifts but one of them wasn't a tablet, you're still in for a treat. Our latest version for desktop is up to 30% faster. Find out if yours can keep up and make sure you download the latest version today!

Victory (For Now) on SOPA & PIPA!

Last week, we asked you to raise your voice to stop the PROTECT IP and Stop Online Piracy Acts from becoming law because they threaten the openness and innovation of the Internet we all know and love.

Hundreds of thousands of Mozillians did so - and more than 13 million people across the Web spoke out - and because of your actions, both laws have been postponed. They might come back up later, in which case you'll probably hear from us again, but for now, from all of us at Mozilla, thank you for all you do.
