Firefox releases Campus Edition of Free Web Browser

Mozilla has released a tweaked "campus edition" version of its free Firefox web browser that has a number of essential add in for students, including the excellent Zotero (www.zotero.org) research/citation tool, as the Chronicle's Wired Campus reports:
"...Last week Mozilla, maker of the popular Firefox Web browser, released Firefox Campus Edition for free download. logoA key feature of the new browser is the Zotero citation system developed by George Mason University's Center for History and New Media, noted here last year. The system is designed to help students and scholars mark and manage information on the Web that they want to cite in research papers. The campus edition browser is not all work and no play, though. It also includes a plug-in called FoxyTunes that helps manage the soundtrack to cram sessions, and StumbleUpon, a service to quickly jump among favorite blogs, online videos, and photo Web sites.--Jeffrey R.
