Not quite smooth as buttah…
03.02.10 - 08:47pm
So, I finally got around to watching this video which has been been making the rounds as of late (not a Rickroll, I swear to god! WHY DOES NO ONE TRUST ME?! :-). I fired it up the 1080p version in fullscreen mode, and was slightly disappointed to find that while the video was playing [...]
No big whoop

The URL shown here is making the rounds. WARNING: don’t visit this URL unless you’re prepared to have your browser crash (the screenshot is from a current trunk nightly, which survives the Flash crash due to Out Of Process Plugins support).
I’m getting all verklempt.
Crashed Plugin UI
02.10.10 - 06:52pm
Yesterday I landed bug 538910, which introduces some new UI for when a plugin crashes. This builds on top of the fantastic Out Of Process Plugins (OOPPs) work from the Electrolysis team, which allows the browser to keep running even after a plugin dies. So, now that crashes from plugins like Flash, Java, Silverlight, and [...]
Handy trick

If you’re involved with developing on Mozilla, odds are you’ve got at least one or two (dozen? :) profiles for testing. Some used regularly, some created-and-forgotten for one-off testing, some you’ve forgotten what they’re for. And you probably jump through gymnastics with the Profile Manager to create, select, and delete said profiles.
Once upon a time [...]
Mega status update
12.04.09 - 02:57pm
I’m terrible at remembering to send out regular status updates, so here’s a belated list of things I’ve been up to recently in Firefox-land…
* CrashKill. We’ve been making a big push to reduce Firefox crashes. I’ve largely been working with 3rd party crashes (eg bug 519340). Some of these 3rd parties are very responsive [...]
Sneaky software installs
10.13.09 - 05:24pm
The Mozilla Plugin Check page was released today, so I loaded it up to see the latest changes. “Looks good,” I thought, and skimmed the list of plugins it displayed for me. Quicktime, Silverlight, Flash, and… Woah, wait.
Silverlight?
On my OS X box? How the fuck did that get there? I sure don’t remember installing [...]
Making progress
10.08.09 - 11:09pm
If you’re running nightly builds of trunk or Firefox 3.6, you may notice a smoother progress bar while installing the nightly updates…
The old progress bar behavior had always seemed a bit odd to me — it would do nothing for a bit, move to about 15% point, and then suddenly finish. I didn’t get around [...]
Is the tree REALLY green?
10.08.09 - 02:13pm
While sheriffing yesterday, I was a bit confused when dbaron asked if I was looking into all the orange. The tree (http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/Firefox/) looked mostly green, except for a handful of earlier Talos oranges. So, yadda yadda, it turns out that most of the test boxes report to a separate tinderbox tree now — http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/Firefox-Unittest/. There [...]
