We hope you are all hacking away on those killer add-ons for Extend Firefox 2! As mentioned in the Developer Resources section of the site, throughout the contest we will be hosting technical sessions on everything from Making a JavaScript XPCOM Component to User Experience 101. Our first developer chat will take place this Wednesday, 11/14, at 1pm PST. The session will be recorded and posted on the site, but please do join us on Wednesday by viewing the webcast or via conference call or IRC. Directions for all are below.
This week’s session:

Viewing the Webcasts
* Run Quicktime Player, VLC, or Windows Media Player (or any other player capable of playing streaming MPEG-4), tell it to open a URL (this is Command-U or Control-U in Quicktime, not sure what in WMP or others), paste in the following URL: rtsp://webcasts.mozilla.com:8000/brownbag.sdp
* It should prompt you for a password.
* Username: security Password: m0z1lla
* If it does not prompt you for a password, you can try entering it at the beginning of the URL, such as rtsp://user:pass@webcasts.mozilla.com:8000/brownbag.sdp (but replace user and pass with the username and password - intentionally left out in the URL to avoid copy/paste mistakes in public places).
