Microsoft Internet Explorer team sent a congratulations cake to Firefox team on the day they shipped their latest Firefox 2.0 browser. Cute.

Mission To Destroy IE
Calling themselves as political activists, a Massachusetts group has launched an effort to inveigle Internet Explorer users to switch to the Firefox Web browser.
In addition to talking up the strengths of Firefox, the site highlights a new Google AdSense program that offers $1 to online publishers for every referred netizen who downloads Firefox. The group identified itself as “four friends” on ExplorerDestroyer.com and said that Firefox is one of the most important software applications in the world as “it can play a big part in determining the future of the Web.”
According to the Firefox Four, the serendipitous announcement of Google’s Firefox referral program has set the stage for the open-source browser “to take back the Web.” .#.
Chris Morrell has written a good article containing some tweaks extensions and optimizations for Firefox. He covered several FF hacks and also mentioned some nice extensions.
