Mozilla prepares coders for Firefox 4 features
,----[ Quote ]
| It was with delight that I read these words
| on Thursday: "The proposed IndexedDB
| standard, which provides a local database
| store for Web applications, will be
| supported by Firefox 4."
|
| The statement appears on Mozilla's new
| Firefox 4 for developers site, boding well
| for those of us who use the Web a lot: the
| IndexedDB interface gives Web applications
| a way to work even without a network
| connection.

Chromium on Ubuntu 10.04 Slower than Firefox?
,----[ Quote ]
| I finally tried my ISP's DNS servers and
| that seemed to take hold, though I don't
| know why. It shouldn't make a difference
| but I've been surfing from my Lucid Lynx VM
| for two days now without a hitch. That
| leads me to my second problem.

| Today marks 10 years of continuous full-
| time employment working on Mozilla.
|
| I still can't believe I get to work with so
| many amazing people. It's pretty much the
| best job ever.
|
| Thank you to all the Mozillians that have
| made this such a wonderful decade.

screw you, firefox tab complete!
,----[ Quote ]
| For some reason that is completely
| unfathomable to me, the URL that's shown as
| hilighted in firefox's URL window can get
| out of sync with options that show up in
| the drop down menu of possible
| alternatives, yet firefox gives preference
| to the drop down menu when you hit the TAB
| key to complete.

Opera pokes fun at Chrome speed-test video
,----[ Quote ]
| Opera, ever scrappy in its effort to
| promote its browser over larger rivals, is
| poking fun at Google's recent video
| boasting about the speed of its Chrome
| browser.
|
| "The Opera browser is much faster than a
| potato," concludes Opera's low-budget
| video, which features herring-obsessed
| caricatured Scandinavians rolling the
| tubers into a pot of water at the same time
| Opera loads a Web page.

| of engineering for Firefox, in a Webcast on
| Tuesday about plans for the browser. "We
| created the performance story, and we've
| got to keep at it."

Mozilla firms up Firefox 4 plans
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla has given a breakdown of its plans
| for Firefox 4, including a pledge to make
| it "super-duper fast".
|
| Perhaps the most striking change to Firefox
| 4 is the user interface, which takes a
| great deal of inspiration from Google
| Chrome. Though Mozilla was keen to note
| that the mockups shown in the presentation
| were subject to change, it's clear Firefox
| 4 will benefit from the design choices made
| by Google's pared-back browser.

Fedora, Mozilla, and trademarks
,----[ Quote ]
| Trademarks and free software can make a
| volatile mix. It is understandable that a
| project would want to ensure that code
| shipping under its name is "the real
| McCoy", but modifying the source and
| distributing the result is a hallmark of
| free software. Trademark policy can place
| limits on what changesâfor bugs, features,
| or even policy complianceâdownstream
| projects can make and still use the
| trademarked names. The tension between the
| two has led some, like Debian, to re-brand
| Mozilla projects, so that they can ship the
| changes they want; some Fedora developers
| would like to see that distribution follow
| suit.
