Opera Software presented solid figures for third quarter this year and reversed the trend from last year. With a 10 million Euro turnover they’re 54% better than same time last year.

Last years result of almost 1 million down (Q3) is turned to the opposite.

Even though the Opera browser is FREE and without ads the company have increased their income by including Google search in the browser. Opera reported an income of approximately 2 million Euros from their desktop version, a 113% increase from last year.

The main income comes from Opera’s “new” mobile browser which alone stands for approximately 8 million Euros, a 43% increase from last year.

Even though I am an addicted FF user I welcome Opera on the scene. I believe it is another great alternative to IE which people should explore. You can download the latest version at opera.com [desktop] [mobile] [mini] .

Congrats on the success Opera!

Firefox Environment Backup Extension (FEBE)

FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up — It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office and home browsers.

FEBE backs up your extensions, themes, and (optionally) your bookmarks, preferences, passwords, cookies and just about everything else Firefox offers (it can even backup/restore your entire profile).

Version 5.0 allows for user-defined backups. Single files or entire directories can be specified to back up data for programs like Thunderbird, Greasemonkey, etc.

Backups can be performed on demand or scheduled for daily, weekly, or monthly unattended runs.

A comprehensive debug mode allows for troubleshooting complex platforms.
