Murphy's Law: Mozilla Crowdsources Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| TestSwarm was developed by one of the Mozilla Foundation's JavaScript Tool
| Developers, John Resig, to deal with the scalability issues that factor into
| JavaScript code testing. To Resig, the proper testing platform includes at
| least five different browsers split into 12 total versions per operating
| system. Although he doesn't go into this length in his example, you should
| triple that number to factor in the Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7
| operating environments.

Five Features We Want to See in Firefox
,----[ Quote ]
| We know the folks at Mozilla are already working on this one, but when Google
| introduced Chrome and showed us how it isolated each tab as a separate
| process so that a bum tab wouldn't crash the entire browser, and how you can
| see how much memory each tab is using, they left Firefox (and every other
| browser) in the dust on this oneâmeaning we probably won't see content
| processes in Firefox for at least a year. Bummer.

Getting to Know Snowl: Following Online Discussions
,----[ Quote ]
| What does the next-generation feed-reader look like? Probably a lot like
| Snowl, a project out of Mozilla Labs that bills itself as a tool to follow
| and participate in online discussions. We take a look at early release of
| Snowl to see how itâs coming along. Itâs not perfect yet, but the long term
| future for Snowl looks good.

fear of the awesomebar overblown
,----[ Quote ]
| As of this week, 94% of Firefox active daily users are on Firefox 3 and
| Firefox 3.5.
|
| (I don't have absolute user numbers for other browsers, but usage is a
| reasonable proxy here and if you look at Safari, they still have about 16% of
| their usage coming from two versions or more behind the current release. If
| you look at the other browser with a significant number of users, IE, a
| whopping 37% of that share is two versions or more behind.)
