Mozilla Releases New Version of Firefox

Newest version of IE challenger improves on search and spyware catching.

(San Jose, Calif.) The Mozilla Foundation released an updated version of its popular, free Web browser, Firefox, which features improved search functions and more protection against spyware.

Firefox is the product of hundreds of volunteer software developers around the world, who collaborate to design new features and fix bugs -- unlike proprietary browsers such as Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer, whose source code is kept secret. Mountain View-based Mozilla Foundation bills itself as a nonprofit "dedicated to improving the Internet experience for people everywhere."

Firefox 1.0 was released officially in November 2004, and it quickly became one of the most downloaded open-source programs in the world. It's particularly popular among home PC users and college students. Within 99 days of its release, the program was downloaded more than 25 million times. By August, it had been downloaded 200 million times.

Mozilla officials estimate that more than 70 million individuals are using Firefox, which has been translated into 35 languages and is available for Windows, Mac or Linux operating systems.

Improvements to Firefox 2.0 make it tougher for spammers and other advertisers to put "spyware" and other invasive programs on users' computers.

Some changes, such as an integrated spell check, are meant to help Internet users who post text on blogs, community sites such as or YouTube, or on collaborative Web sites known as "wikis."

Guest Post :: How God Used Cultural Immersion Training as Ministry

Written by Jared Anderson

ReachGlobal Mexico City

On September 26th, 2014, I met the family that I would live with for the next year of my life. I had moved to Mexico City three days earlier in order to go through and help evaluate a yearlong missions immersion program called Avance, for the ReachGlobal Mexico City team. ReachGlobal wanted to know if Avance would be a good partner for a one-year missions training program. Avance focuses on incarnational ministry by working with local churches and ministries and cultural immersion by living with Mexican family. I remember the car ride to be dropped off with my family being one of the most nerve-wracking experiences of my life.

Paul, the Avance director, who was dropping me off was telling me about the family that I was going to live with. Then, I had to ask, “Do they speak English?”

“Well…”, he said. I didn’t hear anything after that. I knew immediately that lack of response meant “no”. This made me even more nervous– although I had studied Spanish in high school, I knew that my Spanish level was not near what I would need to have a real conversation. I felt utterly unprepared.

Immediately, the family helped me to feel comfortable. They included me in all their family activities, some of which I understood, and others that made no sense to me. They became my cultural guides. They helped me learn Spanish, made me the most delicious Mexican food, and patiently answered my questions like a parent answering the questions of a four-year-old just discovering the world. I didn’t realize it at the time, but there were also opportunities for ministry right there within the family.

Enrique is the oldest child in the family. He was a 19-year-old university student when I met him and didn’t really have an interest in the things of God. He went to church with his family, but only out of obligation. We ended up spending a lot of time together. We would have conversations about inconsequential things that created inside jokes (mostly having to do with my lack of ability to communicate in Spanish).

However, as I grew in the ability to communicate, the conversation got more substantial. I would recount my day to him, telling him about the things I had been doing in ministry that day or what I learned in our Avance training. Those turned into opportunities to share who God is. He started to come with me to a Bible study at the church plant that I was attending.

In March, about 6 months into my time with the family, my Mexican mamá stopped me as I came home. She told me that she had seen a change in Enrique’s life since I had been there. I was not expecting to hear anything of that sort. I did not know how to respond. I wasn’t exactly sure what I had done. At that moment, I realized that God was working through me without me even realizing it.

In January 2016, Enrique was baptized, and he has been actively involved in the Church that we attend together. He has been co-leading a community group with me in the church since last year.

In Avance, the leaders kept telling us that there would be discipleship opportunities in the families with which we lived. They called it a “ministry of presence”. Even though I arrived and felt completely unprepared, God used me just by being a part of their lives.

If you are interested in knowing more about the Avance program in Mexico City, as one of ReachGlobal’s ministry partners, please contact If you are a high school graduate looking for a way to invest your gap year in kingdom work, this is a great opportunity! The program begins in the fall, so be sure to apply soon.

Volunteer’s research skills help fund ground-breaking project

Smash Youth Mentoring logo

Researcher and skills-based volunteer Tahir helped SMASH to keep making memories for children living with instability and demonstrate the value of their work to funders.

As part of the SMASH charity, the Swindon–based memory maker pilot was running really well offering children aged between 9 and 12 a volunteer Memory Maker who will help them create life-lasting positive memories.

Childhood memories

Co-founder Lyn Hartman says "most of us take happy childhood memories for granted. But for many children growing up can be a time of stress and instability. Perhaps a child doesn’t get enough attention because of family breakdown, or there is instability at home which causes anxiety. Creating a bank of good memories to balance any sad ones will help provide these primary schoolchildren with the confidence and stability they will need as they go on to secondary school.

“Before we could expand,” says Lyn, “we needed someone to evaluate our processes and outcomes.” The research would be used to set future goals and to attract future funders.Through Reach, Lyn found Tahir Bockarie. He brought with him extensive experience in developing research projects, grant applications and applying to funding bodies within higher education and international development.

Tahir set up and led a series of focus groups discussions. “Being a researcher by trade," says Tahir, "I was able to develop questions which would provide a rich source of data and insight into the impact the Memory Makers programme had on the children, their families and the memory volunteers.” The findings confirmed the programme was a great success. Additionally, Tahir’s final report offered recommendations for cost savings, future development of the project, and suggestions for spreading the Memory Maker format wider geographically.

Success! Funding awarded

“Tahir did such a brilliant job,” says Lynn, “that his findings helped SMASH get Big Lottery core funding for all its programmes including Memory Makers.
Of the Reach service and the benefits of volunteering, Tahir says, “I was looking for a short-term project to fill some free time I had between jobs. Using Reach I found one that suited me perfectly where I could contribute my skills to an innovative programme  helping disadvantaged children.   And it was immensely satisfying when I heard that my findings helped the charity get Big Lottery funding for the programme which could ultimately change the lives of hundreds of children who have not had a great start in life.”

Lyn adds, “I am most grateful to Reach for having put me in touch with Tahir.  And for introducing us to another Reach volunteer, Dr. Mich Page, who is helping us with longer-term evaluation as we expand and apply for further funding.”
