They has just launched in the first beta version of Firefox 4.0.

In a first analysis, we notice the familiar minimalist look, sober, with modern cuts. The menus are now hidden and the original theme fits perfectly with the look and feel of Windows 7. Searching a little more, we found that are actually present some promises made by Mozilla.

The entire interior of the browser is redrawn. Is tabbed independent plotting a scheme more sympathetic and effective management of the various components that maximize this browser. Is actually the impetus that the Mozilla Foundation aims to give the browser that dared one day dethrone Internet Explorer.

It is noticeable improvements in speed in loading pages, bookmarks synchronization and interpretation of javascript. Although still very premature, because it is "naked" add-ons, this structure seems more robust and secure.

The management of plugins is done in a single tab with more information and easier for those who have no resourcefulness to deal with this magical side of a browser.

Modern lines and the promise of a browser faster, powerful, with openness to new web technologies (HTML 5 and following), version 4 are a "must have".

There are more options and upgrades: from the automatic update of Firefox add-ons and search engine, through control of almost everything now in the hands of the user.

As you will have the opportunity to notice, this version follows the trend of Chrome, each tab now works independently, thus minimizing the impact if the session open to collapse. Another advantage is the optimization of resources reserved for each tab, in view of the loaded content.

Mozilla has updated frequently where the roadmap set out plans for release of Firefox 3.7. Everything points to start the second half 2010. The next "major release" on Firefox 4.0 will then be there for the end of next year.

After long search, I managed to bring up issues with varnish+apache logs (real ip instead of 127.0.0.1). Here's what it is:

First, install mod_rpaf from here.

cd /usr/local/src

wget http://stderr.net/apache/rpaf/download/mod_rpaf-0.6.tar.gz

tar xzf mod_rpaf-0.6.tar.gz

cd mod_rpaf-0.6

Compiling rpaf module:

nano /usr/local/src/mod_rpaf-0.6/makefile

Change APXS=$(shell which apxs) to APXS=/usr/sbin/apxs.

Compile ways:

I)

make rpaf-2.0 && make install-2.0

II)

apxs -i -c -n mod_rpaf-2.0.so mod_rpaf-2.0.c

Next you must do following:

mcedit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add following lines:

LoadModule rpaf_module modules/mod_rpaf-2.0.so

#Mod_rpaf settings
RPAFenable On
RPAFproxy_ips 127.0.0.1 REALIP1 REALIP2

RPAFsethostname On

That's it!

Don't forget to run service httpd restart!

Cheers

Just a couple of weeks ago we wrote about the successful experiment of porting Ubuntu operating system on Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. At this time managed to achieve modders with nickname sebbo90, in experimental device - HTC Touch Pro2, presented at last year's Mobile World Congress. He also managed to port to the specified mobile device operating system Ubuntu, along with relevant applications.
