I’ve recently had the pleasure of testing Firefox on the brand new Maemo based Nokia N900 phone (which I blogged about previously), and I have to say I’m impressed. Of course, I’m biased — I love Firefox. I’ve been using it since the Phoenix days and it’s almost part of my DNA [...]

Ubuntu is old, most of the time
One thing that I really don’t like about Ubuntu is that, by default, it doesn’t automatically upgrade popular software releases until a whole new version of the operating system is released. This means that right now Ubuntu 9.10 (the latest stable release) is still running Firefox 3.5.8 and OpenOffice.org 3.1.1, when the latest versions are [...]
Let’s create that ideal world together!
John Slater recently hosted a brown bag about how to improve Mozilla’s web sites by making a clearer distinction between Mozilla, the non-profit organization, and Firefox, one of its products (and, of course, the most popular since it happens to be the best browser in the world!). He also posted a blog post about the [...]
Improve your karma: Help some Firefox users today!
Today, Firefox 3.6 will be released. From a support perspective, the big highlights of 3.6 are
Less crashes
Automatic plug-in update notifications
More win
It’s certainly a time for celebration (perhaps I’ll even have a beer despite the fact that it’s only Thursday!) — but it’s also an opportunity to help the many people that will try Firefox for [...]
Five years ago, Firefox was born
When I blogged about the launch of Firefox 1.0 five years ago, I knew it was a big day that we would look back at in the future. However, I would be lying if I said back then that I knew what kind of impact Firefox would have on the web as a whole.
Five years [...]
žomg it’s a small community!
There is an old saying that we live in a small world. It turns out that this is true for the Mozilla community as well — and definitely in that same good way!
Matjaž Horvat is a perfect example: I’ve seen the guy at various Mozilla events such as MozCamp Barcelona, MozCamp Prague, and the Mozilla [...]
Several people use Firefox!
Things like this makes me smile.
Bye bye Mac, hello again PC!
If I appear to be slower to respond to e-mail lately, it’s because my two-year-old MacBook Pro broke down last week, leaving me without access to my local data. It started with some occasional graphical glitches (see video) but it only took a few days until the computer wouldn’t boot anymore. Interestingly, during this gradual [...]
How to make community members stick
How to grow communities is a hot topic these days. Francesco Lodolo recently blogged about how the Mozilla Italia community mainly consists of veterans who have been participants for several years, and how hard it is for them to find new contributors.
Abdulkadir Topal from the German community also blogged about getting help for localization work [...]
A day to remember
Today is a special day. Some people will remember it as the day when Firefox 3.5 was released. I call it the day the web was upgraded. Stay tuned for announcements on mozilla.com soon!
