    That's just BS.

    It's not true that it is available to anyone - not everybody is allowed to read these stuff. You have to be either a professional historian or a victim of the communist regime.

    The real problem is that this "list of spies" consists just of the names and surnames and a "primary key" (if you like sql-speak ;)). Nothing more, nothing less.

    And these are the names of the spies, the victims of the Security Service, people who refused to be spies and innocent people about whom the Security Service just thought "They might be nice spies some day, let's collect some data about them".

    Also, if you saw "John Smith" on that list you couldn't be sure if it was the John Smith, your father or someone else. But for people who hate your father this would be "a 100% proof" your father's a bad guy. And they'd tell anyone "hey, Smith was a Security Service agent!"

    Wildstein just wants publicity, he does not care about such people as that hypothetical John Smith.

    The default button order on Linux is Gnome-ish, since Firefox is a GTK 2 app, and as such wants to conform to Gnome Human Interface Guidelines, which specify the button order. If you want the KDEish/Windowsish button order (OK|Cancel) on Linux (or Mac), just put this in your userChrome.css:

    .dialog-button-box { -moz-box-direction: reverse; -moz-box-pack: right; }

    and stop complaining. :)

    Ad 2.

    So why don't you remove the Google search box by right clicking on it, selecting Customize and pulling it into the window? And then, you can make Firefox location bar act like Mozilla's, just set keyword.URL in about:config to:

    http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&q=

    (The search box is much better, though, you just have to use it a few times ;)) Now, you have no reasons not to switch. :-)

  12. Re:SVG Support on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 1

    Unofficial Firefox 0.8/SVG builds can be found here. The SVG code, as I said before, is not a part of the 0.9 branch, though.

  13. Re:SVG Support on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 2, Informative

    SVG support is in the CVS, but it's not considered stable at the moment. It won't make it into the 0.9 release of Firefox (it's not even a part of the "aviary" pre-0.9 branch).

    So, if you want to have an SVG-enabled Firefox you have to pull the trunk source from the CVS and then add these lines to your .mozconfig before building the browser (I assume you're using GNU/Linux):

    ac_add_options --enable-svg
    ac_add_options --enable-svg-renderer-libart
    export MOZ_INTERNAL_LIBART_LGPL=1
    mk_add_options MOZ_INTERNAL_LIBART_LGPL=1

    Some people from the MozillaZine "Firefox Builds" forum are creating their own builds. If you've got luck, you may find an SVG-enabled build there, too.

  17. Re:Did they fix the Cancel/Ok buttons? on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 5, Informative
    It's not a bug, it's a feature. The Cancel|OK order appears only in Linux and Mac OS X and it's done this way to be compliant with Gnome and Apple Human Interface Guidelines. If you want to have the Windows-like OK|Cancel order, just add these lines to your userChrome.css in your .firefox//xxxxxx.slt/chrome directory:
    .dialog-button-box {
    -moz-box-direction: reverse;
    -moz-box-pack: center;
    }

    .dialog-button-box spacer {
    display: none !important;

    2) Firefox/Thunderbird are not forks (and Tb is not a browser). The codebase is common for both the standalone apps and the application suite. Every patch for Gecko checked into Mozilla's CVS appears in all of them. The main difference between Fx/Tb and the suite is the GUI-related stuff. Firefox, Thunderbird and Nvu use the new mozilla/toolkit.

    The name "Firefox" is a registered trademark of the Mozilla Foundation now, so it won't be changed.

    3) Mozilla is now being relicensed to a triple license - MPL/LGPL/GPL. So this means that you'll be able to use Mozilla under the terms of the GPL, if you wish.

  19. Re:alternative free browsers on Mozilla Cracks Down On Merchandise Sellers · · Score: 1

    Safari is not free (as in freedom), it's proprietary software built upon open source libraries such as KHTML. And I'm sure FSF wouldn't like me to take the gcc, modify it in a wrong way (so it generates bad code) and still call it "The Official GNU GCC" instead of "Yet Another Compiler, partially based on GCC". You have some strange trademark related law in US. Blame your parliament, not the Mozilla Foundation.
