I’ve long thought that the percentage of visits going to Firefox in my site statistics were oddly high. It turns out it’s pretty much in line with numbers put out by both Bob Sutor and Joe Gregorio…
“The MIT guy did not like this solution because it was not the right thing.”
How to not understand the value of a web browser.
Microsoft is so completely out of touch with reality it hurts.
First post!
Interesting. This is the first time I’ve seen mention of Firefox shipping with Ogg Vorbis and Theora built-in. That could definitely change the horrible pace of adoption we’ve seen thus for.
Right on time.
“In the spirit of the Firefox 3 firstrun pages, I would like to permanently commemorate the noble deeds of the robot community in their fight for an open web.”
“The reason we are integrating our own allocator is that we’ve found jemalloc to be better than all the default allocators of our three main platforms (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux)”
Lightweight Firefox extension that causes new tabs to open to the right of the current tab. Works with Firefox 3.0 betas and nightlies with extension compatibility checking disabled.
This is pretty funny. Even the options dialogs are themed.
Like khtml2png but using the gtkmozembed Ruby extension library (which I haven’t been able to build yet).
Mozilla Labs finally puts some lipstick on WebRunner. This is extremely important to me.
NoSquint remembers your text zoom level per site, so you will only need to adjust text size once for each site that uses text that is too small for your eyes.

Awesome. Robert Sayre just checked in his document.getElementsByClassName implementation to mozilla trunk.
dangerous waters…
Hi, we’re Forrester Research, a division of Microsoft. — I really didn’t expect Firefox to get this much FUD thrown at it.
One down, two to go…
Make firefox act like Emacs. How cool is that?
Blake Ross tearing into Netscape/AOL on Netscape 8. Can’t wait for part 2.
Redefining the concept of making sense: “some of the factors that make Firefox more appealing than Internet Explorer are likely to go away as the browser gets to be more popular”
bout time..
Blake Ross talks about what drove every Firefox design decision: simplicity.
My name will be in the NY Times tomorrow
This is one of the last things I’ve been waiting for before switching from Safari. Now if only the scrollwheel worked a little nicer and I could get a decent proxy-configuration plugin…
Firefox as “gateway drug” to Free Culture for the masses.
IE team on Firefox 1.0 release. The comments have me rolling on the floor. I can’t believe microsoft is letting these guys keep comments on.
Haven’t tried yet but these optimized builds are rumoured to blow the doors off the standard distribution.
“Help stop Internet Explorer, the world’s most popular and worst internet browser.”
critical mass biatch!
No. Netscape as a brand/browser is irrelevant. Anyone with a cluestick care to drop by cnet and whap those monkeys around a bit? Some decent history here though.
More good Firefox press.
yes. they are. IE is the new Netscape 4.7.
Finally..
Some more speculation about a Google Browser.
New York Times talking about people moving away from IE. It may finally be happening…
