  2. Re:Um, is it on? on Mozilla's New JavaScript Engine Coming September 1 · · Score: 1

    No, they haven't. It's not fully optimized and tested yet.

  3. Re:Firefox is the most unstable program in common on Firefox 4.0 Beta Candidate Available · · Score: 1

    It's worth noting that crash rates have been driven down significantly recently. They are indeed addressing the instabilities and tackling the problem like you demand. Pretty graphs and charts (also read the comments from Mozilla devs): http://blog.mozilla.com/metrics/2010/04/08/dramatic-stability-improvements-in-firefox/

  4. Re:more importantly on Firefox 4.0 Beta Candidate Available · · Score: 1

    Firefox also provides tags for bookmarks and live bookmark search (using tags, URL, or title) in the AwesomeBar. There's no excuse.

  5. Re:GPU accelerated Firefox? on Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Released · · Score: 1

    This is being investigated, in fact. Work is being done to use Direct2D for hardware acceleration in Vista and 7. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=527707

  6. Reassuring on UK Law Enforcement Is Against "3-Strikes" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At least this hints that there isn't a trivial way of breaking RSA, AES, or the other popular systems.

  7. Re:Random number bug on Firefox 3.6 Alpha 1 Released · · Score: 1

    Random number generation issue?

  8. Re:Browsers should be written in a modern language on Null Character Hack Allows SSL Spoofing · · Score: 1

    The rendering and networking side of Mozilla browsers are most definitely C++. The JavaScript bit is the user interface side.

  9. Re:When the only tool you have is a hammer.... on A New Kind of Science Collaboration · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think you hit the nail on the head there. Although I think part of the point of collaborative editing is that one individual can't claim all of the results. That's part of the deal.

  10. Re:Two of my prayers for FireFox Improvement on Firefox 2.0 To Debut Tuesday · · Score: 1

    1. Never seen that problem, and have been using the Firefox 2 branch for months. 2. Wait for Firefox 3, when the rendering system will be given a major overhaul.
