Vimperator: Use Firefox the Vim Way

,----[ Quote ]
| Want to take full keyboard control of 
| Firefox? Tired of having to mouse around 
| the Web? Firefox has a good set of 
| shortcuts by default, but if you want to go 
| completely keyboard-driven, take a look at 
| Vim-inspired extension Vimperator.
| 
| Vimperator is an amazingly complete add-on 
| for Firefox that gives you access to almost 
| all of Firefoxâs features from the 
| keyboard. It takes its inspiration from the 
| popular vi-clone Vim, so many of the 
| keybindings will already be familiar to you 
| if youâre a Vim user. Even if not, 
| Vimperator provides a great way to ditch 
| the mouse and control Firefox from the 
| keyboard.

Updating the MPL

,----[ Quote ]
| The Mozilla Foundation has announced its
| process for updating the Mozilla Public
| License.  While Mozilla's substantive goals
| for the new version of the MPL (which will
| probably be numbered 2.0) are quite
| different from the FSF's objectives in
| drafting GPLv3, Mozilla is adopting some of
| the features of the GPLv3 process,
| including a series of public drafts
| accompanied by rationale documents, the use
| of a collaborative commenting system, and a
| general commitment to engaging the license-
| using community in contributing ideas and
| feedback.
