  • Windows on ARM Users Need Browser Choice Too

    For the past eight years, users and developers have enjoyed a Windows platform environment that offered users a choice of browsers to navigate their digital lives.  It wasn’t always that way. Prior to the launch of Firefox in 2004, there was really only one browser for Windows – Internet Explorer. Only IE and Firefox had meaningful market share on the Windows platform from 2005-2009. The choices further increased with the introduction of Chrome, and today users can choose from a wide range of browsers. It’s hard to imagine what it used to be like. Unfortunately, the upcoming…

  • Dev Tip: Debugging optimized code without a clobber – Rebuilding a module without optimization

    Sometimes you have an optimized build for whatever reason (say you’re doing a lot of profiling) but optimizations make non trivial debugging impossible. You don’t have an up to date build without optimization so you whine, start a non optimize build and start looking at bugzilla for 20 mins. Frankenstein optimized/non optimized build to the rescue! Simply add: CXXFLAGS += -O0 -g to the Makefile for the module(s) you’re interested in debugging, for me it was gfx/layers/Makefile.in. How does this work? Well optimizations are done at the object level and each object file are built to…

  • Firefox Introduces a Simpler Update Process and More Than 85 Improvements to Developer Tools

    Mozilla
    24 Apr 2012 | 11:33 am
    Firefox for Windows, Mac and Linux makes updating the browser easier and includes more than 85 improvements to built-in developer tools. We put a lot of work into making the Firefox update experience easier. Firefox simplifies the update process for Windows users by removing the user account control dialog (UAC) pop-up while maintaining the security of your system. Once a user gives explicit permission to Firefox on their first installation, they will not be prompted again for subsequent releases. Firefox also includes more than 85 improvements to built-in developer tools. For example,…

  • Why an outdated Java Plugin is so serious

    decoder
    6 Apr 2012 | 7:21 pm
    Recently, Mozilla responded to an imminent threat to Firefox users who have an outdated Java plugin installed: Vulnerable versions of the plugin were blocked automatically (see blog post). Since then, I’ve been asked a few times why this is important; others have complained that their <any large number> corporate/government installations don’t work anymore because they depend on an outdated Java version (note that some of these problems/complaints were probably caused by a bug in the initial deployment of the blocklisting entry itself that is now fixed). While we all…

  • Make Things Better (or, how I learned to stop worrying and love security again)

    mgoodwin
    16 Mar 2012 | 3:18 pm
    Working in application security can be frustrating. Often you’re working around problems in software you have little control over, making ugly bandaids that must stay in place until a vendor wakes up to an issue. Perhaps this is why security folk, as a community, have gotten into the habit of complaining about how things are broken and leaving it there; how often have you attended a presentation where a vendor is criticised for making a mistake, but no solution is suggested, or help offered? This frustration is one of the reasons I was really excited about coming to Mozilla.

  • ADBFuzz – A Fuzz Testing Harness for Firefox Mobile

While there are a lot of tools, frameworks and harnesses available for regular desktop platforms/operating systems, there’s still a lot missing in the mobile sector which is becoming increasingly important. In this article, I will describe the necessary implementation steps for a mobile fuzzing harness and provide a proof-of-concept implementation called ADBFuzz that allows anyone to run fuzzers written in Javascript in Firefox Mobile on Android.

  • Mozilla to support H.264 on mobile

    Percy Cabello
    19 Mar 2012 | 1:39 pm
    Mozilla CTO, Brendan Eich announced today on his personal blog that Mozilla has taken the hard decision to support the H.264 video format on mobile editions of Firefox. The reasons are pretty clear: Mozilla and Opera seem to be fighting this battle alone (EDIT: sort of, Brendan clarifies that Opera already supports H.264 on mobile), and the result is a less than optimal experience for mobile users: WebM or Theora are more power consuming since they don’t have widespread hardware acceleration support. Support that would come if more major players (browser makers and content providers)…

    Latest Firefox nightlies feature an important new face for users: a new home tab. Enter about:home in Firefox location bar and right now you get a search box and not much more. The new design aims to improve discoverability of several features to users including a launcher to manage bookmarks and history, tweak Firefox through preferences/options, check download status or enable Sync, which will probably be an important boost for Mozilla’s browser data synchronization service. It also brings a large button to restore your previous browsing session in case you haven’t set Firefox…

    Bradley Chapman
    21 Apr 2012 | 11:45 am
    Many of the tabbed browsing preferences found within Firefox are present in Thunderbird as well, but the Thunderbird preferences dialog doesn't provide much access, if any, to them at all. This extension is intended to provide a simple, straightforward way to manipulate these preferences. Some of these preferences, however, don't expose or manipulate the same behaviors as their Firefox counterparts, and so far I don't know what the expected behavior is yet. The preferences exposed by this extension are: browser.link.open_newwindow browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction mail.tabs.autoHide…

  • SavedSearchInSubFolders 0.2

    9 Apr 2012 | 10:35 pm
    This addon allows virtual folders (saved searches) to automatically process all subfolders of their selected target folders. The search targets are updated automatically whenever a new folder is added, or a virtual folder is updated. This does not apply to the Inbox folder, as it contains all other folders, including folders that are usually irrelevant for saved searches (Trash, Junk, etc...). This is especially useful when using saved searches along with the archiving feature.

    Bookmark mail folders in Thunderbird. This extension adds an extra toolbar to Thunderbird. When you drag a mail folder to it, you get a fully customizable shortcut to that mail folder. This supports full drag and drop, like the corresponding folder in the folder tree - You can drag messages on it to move/copy them to the folder, and access the bookmarked folders through keyboard shortcuts. This is handy when you have a large tree of folders for clients or projects, but use only a few of them at the same time. The Category feature adds more usability by adding distinct areas to work in; this…

  • ISOC Hall of Fame and Grad School Memories

    mitchell
    14 May 2012 | 12:17 pm
    After I posted the ISOC piece, I got an unexpected message from an old, old friend.  Apparently he was part of the Internet Society Hall of Fame process.  This brings back so many memories. The person in question has been deep in IETF related topics for many years.  In addition, he was one of the most generous people I’ve ever known about sharing his understanding of technology and his resources.  Many years ago when I was in grad school he gave me keys to his office, set aside an old piece of technology for me to use and provided the basic support I needed. As a result, my graduate…

  • Internet Society Hall of Fame

    13 May 2012 | 5:13 pm
    A couple of weeks ago the Internet Society started a Hall of Fame at its 20th anniversary gathering. The best part of the event for me occurred at the Gala dinner.  That’s when they got the groups of Hall of Fame members on stage.  Most importantly, they started with the Pioneers group. A few of the pioneers are no longer with us, Bob Kahn couldn’t make it, and there were undoubtedly a few people who could have been included but weren’t. Even so, it was a visceral moment for me.  There, on stage together, was the greatest concentration of the designers and creators of the…

  • Video, user experience and our mission

    Mozilla is on the cusp of changing our policy about our use of video codecs and making use of a format  known as “H.264.” We have tried to avoid this for a number of years, as H.264 is encumbered by patents.  The state of video on the Web today and in mobile devices in particular is pushing us to change our policy.  Brendan has written a post detailing why many of us have come to support this position.  I’d like to emphasize one point that’s implicit in Brendan’s post and which I think would be useful to call out more specifically. One key value at Mozilla…

    Monday night I attended an event celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Girl Scouts in the US. A couple of unexpected things happened. First, I received a lesson in how role models and believing in people and providing roles models makes a difference. Here are some statistics I found stunning:  . . . 80% of women business owners were Girl Scouts, 69% of female U.S. Senators were Girl Scouts, 67% of female members of the House of Representatives were Girl Scouts, and virtually every female astronaut who has flown in space was a Girl Scout.  (Marina Park, CEO of Girl Scouts…

  • ACTA is a Bad Way to Develop Internet Policy

    mitchell
    10 Feb 2012 | 11:05 am
    ACTA (“Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement”) is a proposed new international law establishing international enforcement standards against counterfeit goods and pirated intellectual property items. ACTA was negotiated as a “trade agreement” which means that it was negotiated in private without open involvement of all the stakeholders. There has been no formal opportunity for input from people other than those who were lucky enough to be invited into the private discussions. This is a bad way to build Internet policy. The Internet is a fundamental platform for…

  • Windows Weekly with Paul Thurrott and Mary Jo Foley

    13 May 2012 | 7:33 pm
    This week's Windows Weekly broadcast spends about 20 minutes (from 2:00 to just past 20:00) on the topic of Microsoft banning competing browsers from Windows on ARM. Paul and Mary Joe do a really good job of explaining things. The one thing I'd like to highlight, and Paul touches on this, is that were talking about more than just IE on the classic desktop on Windows on ARM. We're also talking about being disadvantaged in the Metro environment. That's actually the larger of the two issues. Internet Explorer is basically one browser with two front ends. The back-end is basically the same in…

  • This Has Worked Well

    12 May 2012 | 5:42 pm
    "The U.S. antitrust ruling requires that Microsoft disclose all of the interfaces internal to Windows called by 'middleware' within the operating system, such as the browser, the media player, and so forth. In this way, competitors in these categories will know that they can plug into Windows to get the services in the same way that these built-in Windows features do. This has worked well, and Microsoft will continue to disclose these interfaces even after the U.S. antitrust ruling expires."

That's an interesting development.
