Always show the location bar in Firefox
Not showing the location bar hides a very valuable piece of information from the user. There have been recent discussions on making the information it conveys even more visible to the user. Why is it then that Firefox allows websites to hide it? IMHO, the valuable nature of this information from a security perspective vastly [...]
Firefox Crop Circle
Okay, I’m VERY behind on this one, but for those of you who aren’t particularly Mozilla-ey, last year a bunch of folks in the US made a Firefox Crop circle and you can now see it on Google earth/maps. Wenzel has some screenshots.
Was invented here!
Does it amuse any of you as much as it does me that MSN.com is currently prominently pushing an article recommending IE users switch to Firefox or Opera?
In the most valuable real estate on the MSN homepage (probably making it some of the most valuable real estate on the web) is an image promoting a [...]Want to make browsing a bit cooler?
This is definitely in the realm of eye-candy, and has no functional value whatsoever, but I just discovered Tab Effect – it makes changing tabs in Firefox a whole lot more fun For those of you familiar with Compiz, it’s got that kind of feel to it. For those who haven’t, check out [...]
Firefox 2 Add-on Developer T-shirts
Some months ago, Mozilla decided to reward extension developers who made their extensions compatible with Firefox 2 before October 1st. However, there has been some delay getting these shirts delivered to developers. By the number of queries on the forums and mailing list, a lot of you are curious about this, and while some of [...]
Theme installation broken temporarily
It seems I did more than just break download counts – theme installation was completely fubared Our apologies – we’ve now fixed the problem (thanks to Giorgio Maone and Wladimir Palant.)
Also in the latest update, Morgamic fixed a bug which caused your add-on to be updated (as in, jump to the top [...]I broke download counts
Yup, nobody’s AMO download counts are working right now – I’ll take the credit for that
It seems that while tidying up the install buttons for add-ons which work on multiple platforms, I added an extra span tag and the whole thing disintegrated. Ah well. In other news, I fixed a 404 [...]Sunbird -> iPod
Wanted: Functionality to export my calendar from Sunbird to my iPod whenever I plug it in. MozPod is well on the way to getting it done, but it’d be even cooler if it came inbuilt into Sunbird… maybe. I don’t know if Windows has any standards for detecting when things get plugged in and what [...]
AMO bugfixes
This week we’ve been tweaking the new theme – there were several bugs that we discovered after launch that Fligtar, Shaver and myself have been patching.
The next thing you can expect to see is information about Sunbird add-ons on AMO. Because it’s not used as much as other Mozilla applications, it won’t appear in the [...]AMO reloaded
Yesterday, just before the release of Firefox 2, we pushed our new addons.mozilla.org theme to production. In the spirit of rushing things at the last minute, it was all mashed together in rather less time than would be preferable and still needs a bit of love, but it looks great
I think we’ll [...]
