After The GNOME Bounties, It's Mozilla's Turn

Posted by timothy on from the cheap-labor dept.

MikeCapone writes "Slashdot had an article about the GNOME bounties a few days ago, but now, thanks to the Shuttleworth Foundation (created by Mark Shuttleworth, the guy who went into the ISS as a Soyuz cosmonaut a couple of years ago), the Mozilla project also has some monetary incentives. The budget for 2004 is USD$100,000."

    The requested functionality is already done - as part of Tabbrowser extensions... here

    Just installed it. It has some great tab functionality - I'll enjoy using it. However it does not work on hotmail.

    Hotmail uses JS to open the mail in the same window. If it opened into a new window, tabbrowser would be able to handle it. I probably should have been more descriptive in its horrible use of javascript.

    By default, Mozilla Firebird displays annoying error messages if a connection fails, instead of quitely displaying the error information in the browser window as Internet Explorer does. To turn off the error messages and use pages instead, add the following code to your user.js file: // Instead of annoying error dialog messages, display pages:
    user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled ", true);

    You can access your user.js file by typing about:config in your search box, assuming you're running Firebird [may work for the moz, not sure].
