The browser wars are well underway. Apple released a beta for Safari 4, Chrome 2.0 is in beta, Internet Explorer 8 has just been released, and Firefox 3.5 is almost here. Still, that isn't stopping the Mozilla team from looking ahead, beyond Firefox 3.5. They call it Firefox 3.6, but since that version number is likely to be bumped higher, they actually prefer the code name Namoroka, or the alternative name Firefox.next. A new roadmap for Namoroka has been published, and it details some interesting goals.

No I don't have any percentages showing the Firefox/Extension ratio, but looking at the actual downloads of the prominent addons shows that they're very popular:
noscript ~45 million downloads
adblock plus ~45.5 million downloads
Personally I'm looking forward to Chrome getting their extension framework up and running since I think that with the advent of these third party extensions Chrome (or perhaps rather Chromium) will have a large upswing in their userbase which in turn will make for even more heated competition in the browser market, time will tell.
