Mozilla Project Turns 5

GreyWolf3000 writes "As this notice in tinderbox shows, Mozilla turns five years old today. A great testament to the ability of open software models debunking the myth that while the community can hack a kernel or compiler together, we can't build a large scale project designed for everyday folks to use. The trunk is feature frozen for the upcoming alpha release for 1.4. Can't wait to see what's in store next!" Read on for another odometer reading -- Mozilla's 200,000th bug report, perhaps just as auspicious a landmark.

zzxc writes "The 200,000th bug has been filed in Mozilla's bugzilla, MozillaZine reports. It was filed at 5:11pm EDT. (21:11GMT) The bug, which is already 'verified invalid,' is 'MailNews crashes after extremely long 'joke of the day' html spam mail.' This comes on the 5 year anniversery of the release of Netscape's source code, also reported by MozillaZine. Bug 100000 was opened on 9/16/01 after three years of development, while bug 200000 comes in less than 19 months from the previous milestone."

Mozilla question: can I relocate the Home button?

[Anonymous Cowdog]

It sure would be great to get rid of the "Personal Toolbar" and still have the home button easily accessible somewhere.

OK, I'll have to start using Alt-Home more. But that requires yet another place for my hands to have to wander off the querty keys. I still want a single click button (which also rules out the Go->Home menu entry).

Is there any way to add a Home button to the navigation bar?

I get a sneaking suspicion Home is kept in the personal tool bar just to encourage people to have "The Mozilla Organization" and "Latest Builds" right their in their faces. A bit of self-promotion on the part of the toolbar coders, perhaps?
