Actually, it integrates with your platform-specific default mail client; so it would work for Outlook Express if you preferred that (although I'd have no idea why...).
Gmail Notifier doesn't seem to register itself properly though; it only seems to handle mailto: but doesn't show up in the list in the XP set programs dialog.
Firefox doesn't have Quick Launch. (You can add a shortcut to start Firefox into the Windows Quick Launch toolbar the is by default next to the Start button; however, it does not have the Quick Launch feature as in Mozilla suite where the app is loaded on Windows startup and hidden in the systray).
I'm working on MinimizeToTray which can fake the feature (install extension and add "-turbo" to the end of the shortcut that launches Firefox), but it is currently buggy and interacts badly with single window extensions such as Tabbrowser Extensions.
Most Firefox extensions do work on the Mac (assuming you can get Firefox itself to work on the Mac). Only very few extensions carry binary components that would differ from platform to platform; the majority is done in XUL / JavaScript / etc. (all text interpreted at runtime) and thus platform isn't an issue.
Ctrl-J As indicated right beside the Downloads menu in Tools. This is for Windows - I don't have *nix to test against, but looking in the menu should work.
Or rather, much later but also much better (since more testers can only mean more bugs filed, if they do file those bugs).
Of course, PR was more like a UI freeze then anything else - there were open bugs targeted at 1.0 when it shipped (something like 200; some may be invalid or dupes. Some might get pushed back. At least l10n freeze happened near PR release.)
See bug 121832 on bugzilla.mozilla.org They did talk to them; Yahoo replied that they want to be able to script Windows Media Player (plugin). Not sure what's happenning now.
It would probably help if you complained to Yahoo as well (hopefully more complaints would help motivate them to fix things).
The bug was fixed in trunk (which is actually post-1.0), but not in the branch (which will eventually be 1.0 before getting merged back, I believe) because the fix caused an even worst regression with the widths of boxes - they become something like 100% wide a lot of the time or something.
Appearently, there was a bug in the width code that was hidden by the/. rendering code.
For those interested, see bug 246382. Not providing a link to bugzilla.mozilla because I want to avoid getting that thing spammed, plus they don't accept referrers from/. anyway.
You're thinking of bugzilla.mozilla.org. They don't allow/., and has a message to tell you so.
Mozillanews.org (which isn't part of mozilla.org) is just plain slashdotted. Wish the person who did the article used the nyud.net:8090 mirroring thing...
Mozilla (as platform) would probably be XULRunner (stand alone usage of XUL files, via an interpreter, kinda like how shell scripts / perl / etc. works) which is apparently in the works. There's a wiki at mozilla.org (/XULDev?XulRunner ) with some preliminary info. (No link because it's a wiki, and that's never good posted on/.... You can probably reconstruct the URL if you really wanted to. For some reason lots of wiki spam on that seems to be Chinese (mainland)...)
It's still not Java though; it's still much more limited (no sound, no programmable graphics buffer, etc.). would be cool, but it's still nowhere near done.
(I looked this up, because it sounded interesting)
See bug 228791 (no link - bugzilla.mozilla.org if you don't already know; they block links for/., and no point in DDOSing their server for something so trivial anyway)
It looks like a value to be subtracted from every character of something called the MCD.cfg file. That would probably be this - something about Mission Control Desktop (looks like something for admins to apply site-wide policy).
Umm... There's about 15 bugs blocking 1.0 PR. About five don't have patches yet.
At the moment there's about 200 blocking 1.0 (post-PR, post-l10n freeze - meaning, no UI text changes).
Neither of those lists contain a request for animation mode UI - at least, not containg "anim" in the summary.
You will likely need to use an extension if you want the GUI. (It was probably in Things They Left Out - not sure if that's still up-to-date though)

Agreed - gmail invites make for a very biased sample, especially considering that a bunch of people in the Mozilla community seems to have them. Heck, I got my invite out of the blog of one of the mozilla.org employees, for fixing a Mozilla bug...
I have no idea about 2), but I've looked at 1) slightly (wanted to write an extension for it).
It will probably happen when all the extension code is ported from the branch to the trunk - currently, Sunbird needs to be built off the trunk of the mozilla.org CVS tree, but most of the extension manager stuff is in a CVS branch (from which Firefox 1.0 and Thunderbird something-or-other is supposed to build from).
I assume the Firefox people will port the EM stuff back into the trunk once Firefox 1.0 is done (since Firefox will eventually go there as well to pick up the Mozilla 1.8 stuff).
That, and ths Sunbird version number ("0.2a") is bad - the "a" breaks the version comparison scheme ([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\+? with chunks optional).
Assuming the EM gets fixed, it will have to be open for extensions - Sunbird, like Ffx / Tbird / Seamonkey / etc., is XUL based, and the underlying mechanism (overlays) is basically built into XUL.
It takes eons to load because it's an animated gif demonstrating the concept behind is (which is rather old):
Each frame of the GIF can have up to 255 colours (+ transparent); but separate frames can have separate palettes. So frame #2 uses a different palette from frame #1, and so on. For real use, you can easily set the time interval between each frame to be zero (so they looks like it's done in one go).
I remember seeing another image like this - I believe it was a picture of a ship of some sort - a few years back. It was actually neater, as it was loaded 'progressively' - it first presented a 8-bit version like a normal GIF, then overlaid extra colours on top. Certainly more interesting than this demo.
It's bigger than PNG because it is limited to 8bits per pass - can't really look at how adjacent pixels have similiar (but not exactly matching) colours. Probably, anyway; I have not tried to dig deep into either GIF nor PNG:)
Does anybody know what relationship (if any) Mozilla Japan has with Mozilla-gumi? Especically seeing how the latter has a translation of the mozilla.org home page...
I assume mozilla.org knows of mozilla.gr.jp as I've seen bugs in bugzilla.m.o that referenced bugs on bugzilla.m.g.j.
I don't know if this works on the official builds, but...
Try going to the JavaScript Console (under Tools menu) and running the script
window.open('about:config');
It's a complete hack of course, but it did open up the right page for me - you can edit the prefs there using a GUI interface.
(Of course, you'd need to know the right prefs to modify - which probably still means looking at the Firefox side. At least you won't need to look for your profile this way.)
According to the mozilla.org release notes for 1.6, support for vCard was added in 1.6. It just didn't show up with the previous version of Netscape because Mozilla releases more often.
Reading the list, it looks like some people in China managed to produce a hash collision using unknown means...
Although the mention in the paper that the result was obtained in one hour (using a P690, whatever that is) sounds scary... There is very little information though, for example we don't know if the message was special in any way.
Basically, they have managed to find two particular messages which collide, but I'm not yet convinced that they know how to make a collision for any abritary message.
This depends on the size of the archive, but edit.com works wonders when it is sufficiently small. It can open files in binary mode (see the open dialog box), but it can never let you input null bytes directly - copy & paste works though.
Why you'd want to do that for what as far as I can tell is a tgz of a Linux game though, I have no idea. Also, this was tested with a dummy file - I'm not going to even try getting the right file to test this.
(My testing was on WinXP, but AFAIK debug has been around since the DOS days - I remember seeing it in 5.0 era books, probably had been around longer)
(there's a thread on this above, too, but I don't see this mentioned in there)
Microsoft wants to push Avalon / XAML. (Microsoft's GUI-in-XML; AFAIK this isn't tied to IE directly)
Mozilla already has a working, released implementation of XUL. (Mozilla's GUI-in-XML)
If Mozilla is really popuplar (Firefox works too, it's the same thing), then you have many XUL clients running around. This could mean people will develop in XUL instead of XAML.
