I've decided to some content on my Spread Firefox Blog. Basically, I'm just going to put links to posts here about Mozilla in the blog. I'm not much of a marketing guy, so I doubt I'll have much to say directly about how to succesfully Spread Firefox. If I do, though, I'll probably post the...

As a web developer, and as a web surfer, I want the web to do more. But I want don't want that to come at the cost of locking people into an browser or operating system choice. That's why supporting a browser like Firefox is so important. Firefox is cross-platform, so you're not locked into...

The Yahoo! Companion Toolbar for Firefox has been updated to work with Firefox 1.0 Preview Release. Plus, several bugs have been fixed, so it should be much more usable. Go download it! (That means you, Chris!).Note, only the installation page is updated. The front page hasn't changed to show the new version. I edited the...

I've hacked together a theme. Basically, I just put Noia 2.0 eXtreme's tabs and scrollbars onto the default theme. I've gone through a few iterations, and am pretty happy with the decision not to style the tab bar, but just the tabs.What I don't have is any artistic talent myself. For now, the icon for...

I've decided to go with the Atom format for syndication of data in the web application I develop at work. Inside the content tags, I'm placing inline XHTML (not escaped). I then wanted to use an XSLT to show the feed more nicely in the browser. Simply using <xsl:copy-of select="atom:content"> worked for Internet Explorer, but...

I was having a major problem with this, and was going to post here and ask for help. But in my attempts to document what I'd been searching for already, I found what I hope will prove to be the answer. I'll find out tomorrow if it helps. Feel free to take a shortcut to...

Via an e-mail from the author (assumably), I found out today about a quite good college basketball blog. If you're a college basketball fan, I suggest you check it out.

Here's a collection of all my Browser Spoofing posts:Browser Spoofing Browser Spoofing: Defining The Problem Browser Spoofing: Determining the Criteria Browser Spoofing: Examining the Solutions

First, read Jesse Ruderman's take on the issue from last month. Then, check out my definition of the problem and the criteria for a solution.Proposed Solution #1: always show the address barOk. This does solve the problems. Now, only internal dialogs can show without an address bar. Since Mozilla added security information to the address...

So, we know what the problem is, I think. But that doesn't quite get us to what criteria we'll use to judge possible solutions.Obviously, the first criteria is that it needs to make it possible to identify spoofing in the situations listed in the problem description. But, does it just need to possible by a...

"Players ought to be there on time, period," Coughlin said. "If you are on time, you are on time. Meetings start five minutes early."Footbal coaches live in an alternate universe, where they apparently make a lot more sense than they do in this universe.

I've decided to take this issue slowly; most people's "solutions" are already assuming a certain definition of the problem, which is rarely stated.The problem has little to do with Mozilla's ability to display remote XUL. This just makes a convincing spoof easier, although it limits the spoof to Mozilla-based browsers, and usually to a subset...

A summary, as well as some proposals for Firefox UI to handle Spoofing of the Browser's User Interface.Check out my comments there firstThere's been some level of "theoretical" work on this issue, which comes down to the claims mentioned in the entry mentioned above: that it's not enough to do some kind of warning about...

Normal "Web Applications" consist of HTML and Javascript on the client side, and one of many types of server-side languages (I use Java/JSP). There are two problems with this. The first is the degree of interactivity on the client: there's only so much you can do with Javascript to make an HTML page feel interactive,...
