· Mozilla Messaging launches · Firefox 3 Beta 3 released · Extend Firefox 2 contest winners · Firefox 3 features article Mozilla Messaging launches Mozilla Messaging, the new mail focused subsidiary of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, today announced that it has begun operations. The initial focus for Mozilla Messaging is the development of Thunderbird 3 which will deliver significant improvements, including integrated calendaring, better search and enhancements to the overall user experience. Thunderbird is a free, open source email application that is used by millions of people around the world and is built using the same open source development model as Firefox. For more information about the Mozilla Messaging launch, see the press release. Firefox 3 Beta 3 released Firefox 3 Beta 3 is now available for download. This is the eleventh developer milestone focused on testing the core functionality provided by many new features and changes to the platform scheduled for Firefox 3. Ongoing planning for Firefox 3 can be followed at the Firefox 3 Planning Center, as well as in mozilla.dev.planning and on irc.mozilla.org in #granparadiso. For an outline of new features that require feedback, please see the DevNews blog post announcing the Beta. Extend Firefox 2 contest winners Extend Firefox 2 has wrapped up and the winners have been announced! The contest received well over 100 entries, representing hundreds of hours of hard work from people all over the world. The three Grand Prize winners are: the Minimap Sidebar Exension by Tony Farndon (UK); SamePlace by Massimiliano Mirra (Italy); and Shareaholic by Jay Meattle (USA). For more information about the contest, including the 12 runners up and the various prize packages, see the Mozilla Labs blog post. When version 3.0 of the Flickr Uploadr came out, Flickr users got a significantly more useful tool for getting their photos online. Things changed significantly behind the scenes as well, as the Flickr Uploadr is now built on top of Mozilla technology — the XULRunner Mozilla runtime package, to be specific. The Yahoo Developer Network (YDN) has put together an Experts at Work video in which Jeremy Zawodny discusses the Flickr Uploadr development with Richard Crowley. Check out the video on the Yahoo Developer Network. The FOSDEM ‘08 conference is taking place in Brussels on Feb 23-24. Mozilla will be hosting a series of talks in the Mozilla Developer Room, and that schedule is now available on the FOSDEM site. More detailed descriptions of the talks can be found on the Mozilla wiki. An extensions workshop will also be happening on Sunday, led by Mark Finkle and Carsten Book, and Philipp Kewisch will be holding a hands-on workshop encouraging developers to participate in the Mozilla Calendar Project. Brian King blogs about this upcoming event, and more information is available through the Mozilla Wiki FOSDEM ‘08 page. Firefox 3 features article Percy Cabello, author of the extremely useful Mozilla Links weblog, has written a great and very detailed article outlining many of the new features in Firefox 3 and the underlying Gecko rendering engine. Percy takes a look at the Visual Refresh, Places (the new History/Bookmarks feature), the Location bar changes, Tabbed Browsing, and Search engines, among other features. The four page article, A deep look into Firefox 3 Beta 3, is definitely worth checking out if you’re curious about what new features Firefox 3 is going to include. · Mozilla 2 Meeting If you would like to get this newsletter by email, just head on over to the about:mozilla newsletter subscription form.

We will be streaming the evening out to the Labs site. If you are in the Bay Area and would like to attend, please take a moment to RSVP by leaving a comment on the Mozilla Labs blog post. Firefox screencast contest winners The Firefox screencast contest is over, and there are now 50 new videos to accompany the articles in the SUMO Knowledge Base. The contest team is very happy with the result and is excited to finally announce the winners. For his work on “How to customize the toolbar,” the contest judges chose Cameron Roy as the grand prize winner. Other winners (one for the best sceencast for each article) will be contacted shortly about their prizes. Thank you to everyone who participated in the contest — you’ve helped improve the knowledge base immesurably, and your work will have a lasting impact on Firefox’s 180+ million users. Check out the SUMO weblog post for more information. Control-Tab: A new (future) feature for Firefox Jennifer Boriss writes, “Dao Gottwald has been working for a while on his Ctrl-Tab Firefox add-on. Ctrl-Tab has two parts: a filmstrip that allows the user to quickly jump to recently used tabs, and a tab preview mode. These features have been widely used, and lately we at Mozilla have been working to give them a home as a Firefox feature. We’re happy to announce the filmstrip of recently-viewed tabs landed today and will show up in tomorrow’s nightlies as a new Firefox feature.” It is currently expected that this feature will first appear in Firefox 3.1, and there’s lots more information about this new feature and how it will affect Firefox users’ workflow at Jennifer’s weblog. Firefox 3.1: Support for text attributes and spell checking Marco Zehe writes, “Friday’s nightly build will include one big new feature in accessibility for Firefox 3.1: Text attributes and spell checking support.” This means that assistive technologies will now be able to get information about the font-family, font-weight, underline style, style, color, and background color of text, and also the language that the text is in, among other things. Additionally, when editing, if a word is misspelled, that word will now include an “invalid:misspelling” attribute. These new features will be fine-tuned over the next few weeks, but the team is looking for feedback if you’re able to help. For more details, please see Marco’s weblog post. Mozilla Community Calendar Deb Richardson is putting together a comprehensive list of weekly/regular public project meetings and other events. The wiki page for it is “Community Calendar” on the Mozilla public wiki. The plan is to eventually publish a consolidated version as a shared public calendar that everyone can subscribe to. Please check the wiki page and make any changes or additions necessary. Firefox 3.0.1 released As a part of Mozilla Corporation’s ongoing stability and security update process, Firefox 3.0.1 is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux as a free download from getfirefox.com. It is strongly recommended that all Firefox users upgrade to this latest release. If you already have Firefox 3, you will receive an automated update notification shortly. For more information, including a list of changes, please see the Mozilla Developer News weblog. Firefox 2.0.0.16 released In addition to the release of Firefox 3.0.1, Firefox 2 has also been updated, and Firefox 2.0.0.16 is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux as a free download from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html. It is strongly recommended that all Firefox 2 users upgrade to this latest release. If you already have Firefox 2, you will receive an automated update notification. This update can also be applied manually by selecting “Check for Updates...” from the Help menu. Please note that 2.0.0.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until mid-December 2008. All users are encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 3. SeaMonkey Project News reports that the SeaMonkey project released a new version of its all-in-one internet suite on July 15th, 2008. “SeaMonkey 1.1.11 closes several security vulnerabilities and fixes several smaller problems found in previous versions. With that, SeaMonkey stays at the same level of security as its sibling Firefox 2, which is issuing updates for the same problems this week as well.” The SeaMonkey team urges users of older SeaMonkey versions to upgrade to this latest release.

· Firefox 3.1 Alpha 2 now available · Mozilla, Firefox and Google Chrome · Mobile Firefox, now with add-ons · Designing a theme for Mobile Firefox Firefox 3.1 Alpha 2 now available The second alpha version of Firefox 3.1 is now available for download. Firefox 3.1 Alpha 2 is built on a pre-release version of the Gecko 1.9.1 platform, and it is important to note that this release is intended for developers and testers only. Firefox 3.1 Alpha 2 introduces several new features to the browser, including: support for the HTML5 “video” element, initial support for web worker threads, support for dragging and dropping tabs between browser windows, a new selector to create areas of Aero-style “glass” in XUL, support for new CSS 2.1 and CSS 3 properties, and performance improvements and new preference values for color management profile support. Please note that this alpha release of Firefox 3.1 does not include the new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine — TraceMonkey is available in nightly builds and is currently disabled by default. For more information, see the TraceMonkey wiki page. If you’re planning to download and test Firefox 3.1 Alpha 2, you should first read the release notes and the Firefox 3.1 for developers article. More information and download links are available in the DevNews release announcement. Neil Deakin has posted a development update about the inclusion of the HTML5 drag and drop API in Mozilla nightly builds. “This is the API that IE and Safari have supported for a while. Now Firefox will support it as well so you can create content in your web pages that can be dragged and dropped elsewhere. The same API is also used for Firefox extensions and XUL applications.” For more information, including examples about how to make things draggable, see Neil’s weblog post. Drag and drop documentation is available at the Mozilla Developer Center. Mozilla, Firefox and Google Chrome As most browser-industry watchers know, Google has launched a beta version of a new web browser called “Google Chrome”. John Lilly posted about it at the time, and Mitchell Baker has written about it since, discussing how and why Mozilla and Firefox continue to be unique and vital in an increasingly healthy browser market where competition and innovation are again the norm. Mitchell writes, “Mozilla exists to build portions of the Internet where individual human benefit, social benefit, and civic benefit are the most important things. [We] recognized long ago that an independent browser dedicated only to the public good is a necessary piece for building a healthy internet. Firefox is our first step in building that Internet. Clearly we need to continue to build great products, and to lead in a competitive market. Mozilla created this competitive environment through the success of Firefox, and I’m as confident as John is about Mozilla’s future.” For the past two months Andreas Gal has been working with the Mozilla team creating a just-in-time (JIT) compiler for the JavaScript engine in Firefox. On August 22nd the project (code named “TraceMonkey”) was added to the main Firefox development code base. Andreas writes, “TraceMonkey is a trace-based (.zip PDF) JIT compiler and it pushes the envelope on JavaScript performance. On average, we speed up Apple’s popular SunSpider benchmarks by a factor of 4.6 over the last release of Firefox. For the SunSpider ubench suite, which focuses on core JavaScript language features, we achieve a speedup of 22x. Whichever metric you chose to apply, Firefox now has the fastest JavaScript engine in the world.” Andreas’ post goes on to discuss the concepts and background behind TraceMonkey in detail, including dynamic compilation with traces, trace trees and nested trace trees, and type specialization. You can read the full article at Andreas’ weblog. JavaScript is an increasingly vital aspect of web browser performance since many web applications (web mail, online word processors, and so forth) rely heavily on complex JavaScript programs for their core functionality. In the past year, JavaScript performance has gone through somewhat of a renaissance, with massive strides being made by JavaScript developers working on several different projects. The two most recent developments come from Mozilla and Google — Mozilla’s new TraceMonkey engine that is part of Firefox 3.1 development, and Google’s new V8 engine that is part of the Google Chrome beta. Mobile Firefox, now with add-ons The recent release of Fennec (the code name for Mobile Firefox) Milestone 7 included the revolutionary addition of an Add-ons manager for the mobile browser. Mark Finkle has written a detailed post that talks about developing add-ons for Fennec, explaining its various similarities and differences to Firefox. “Fennec is a XULRunner application and gives extension developers access to the same underlying XPCOM system that is used in Firefox. The process of building extensions is the same as for any other Mozilla based application.” There are significant differences, as well. “Fennec is not Firefox. It is a completely different application. Fennec’s UI is also very different than Firefox. This means you can’t just plop a Firefox (or Thunderbird or Songbird) extension into Fennec and expect anything to work. There are some basic things an extension developer will need to handle when making or porting extensions to Fennec.” These differences include: a different application id, a very different XUL UI, and different JavaScript objects and functions in the UI code, among other things. Mark suggests that currently the best way to figure out what’s available is to look at the source code. If you have questions, jump into Mozilla IRC’s #mobile channel, and someone there should be able to help you out. Mark also includes some example Fennec extensions, which you can find linked in his blog post. Designing a theme for Mobile Firefox Madhava Enros and Sean Martell have been working on creating a default theme for the Fennec web browser (”Fennec” is the code name for Mobile Firefox). Madhava writes, “We’re trying for something that nods back in the direction of Firefox on the desktop while still striking out in a direction that’s appropriate for a small-screen finger-directed device. [Sean]’s posted some recent work to his blog, and he’ll be posting more there as we go. This is an effort still very much in progress, so please jump in with your suggestions. There’s a Fennec UI discussion thread ripe for contribution.” For more information and some mockups of the theme, see Madhava’s blog post. Mozilla Labs has started experimenting with linguistic interfaces that are designed to do just that, the first of which is the recently-launched Ubiquity project. Jonathan’s posts are an extensive look into the concepts, questions, and thinking behind the experiments, and he has written three so far — Language-based interfaces: The problem, Language-based interfaces: Where do we stand now?, and Language-based interfaces: Report card for Ubiquity. If you’re at all interested in these approaches and ideas you should read Jonathan’s blog then head over to the Ubiquity project to get involved with the growing community working on these experiments.

· Mobile Firefox: milestone 8 released · New Firefox logo style guide · Powered by Mozilla FAQ · Mozilla Community Store: opening soon! Mobile Firefox: milestone 8 released Mark Finkle posts that Fennec (the code-name for Mobile Firefox) has reached a milestone 8 (M8) release, which you can install and test on a Nokia N8×0. “One of the big improvements during this milestone was the addition of several Mozilla QA team members. Fennec is being tested pretty hard now, and by people who love to find bugs. We are finding and fixing lots of issues now. Probably the biggest visible change in M8 is the new theme. It’s not entirely landed yet and will likely get some tweaks as we iterate on the design.” The post goes on to talk about some upcoming changes for Fennec. “Although Fennec is still only targeted for the Nokia N8×0, that should be changing fairly soon. Work on Windows Mobile has heated up quite a bit.” For more information, including a list of M8 highlights, see Mark’s full article. Dan Mills has written an extensive update about the status of the Mozilla Labs “Weave” project, outlining the project’s background, its current state, and setting up some questions about its potential future. “We think Weave still has a long way to go, and the real questions are: What do we need to do to get closer to our vision? What are the main problem areas right now? And, do we need to revisit any old decisions? Now that we’ve been running this experiment for a while, I think we can begin answering those questions.” Dan’s post goes on to discuss some of the major issues facing the project, which he’ll continue to expand upon in an upcoming post. You can read the full text of his current post over on his weblog. The support.mozilla.com (a.k.a. SUMO) project has been underway for over a year now, and has become an amazing community-powered support channel impacting millions of Firefox users around the world. The SUMO team has been working on envisioning the future of SUMO, conceptualizing the service’s evolution as it grows both in scope and participation. As part of this evolution, Tara Shahain and David Tenser hope to develop a strong visual identity for the project that encompasses SUMO and its ongoing mission. Part of this involves creating a new logo for the project, but they need your help. “More specifically, we need your help in brainstorming ideas around the design concept and how best to represent SUMO visually. In the past SUMO has dedicated its resources to Firefox and is therefore primarily known as ‘Firefox Support’. But as David notes in his blog, SUMO aspires to be much more.” To learn more about the project and how to participate in the logo design process, see Tara’s weblog post. New Firefox logo style guide John Slater and Tara Shahain have been working on developing a new and improved style guide for the Firefox logo, with the aim of refining existing guidelines and communicating those out to the widest possible audience. Last Friday, John announced that the new style guide has been released. “Our hope is that this guide will answer many of the commonly asked questions about how (and how not) to use the logo. We’ve also included a section where people can download the various configurations so there won’t be any confusion about what the official versions are. [W]e’re calling this style guide a beta launch for now because we want to make sure the community at large has a chance to review and weigh in before we officially declare it final. So, if you have any questions, thoughts or comments please let me or Tara know, or post your feedback on the Spread Firefox discussion page.” For full details, see the complete post on John’s weblog. Powered by Mozilla FAQ David Boswell has been working on creating some guidelines to determine how the “Powered by Mozilla” logo can be used as part of projects and products. He has recently posted a Powered by Mozilla FAQ that answers the questions he’s seen asked during the ongoing conversation about the logo. “Some more information (guidelines about the logo and an application to request using the logo) still need to be posted and those pieces will be coming soon. For now though, I’m posting the FAQ to let people give us some more feedback before the other pieces are finished up.” More information about the FAQ and the Powered by Mozilla project is available through David’s weblog post. Mozilla Community Store: opening soon! Part of the Firefox 3 launch included a t-shirt contest in which we “open sourced” the design process to create the official Firefox 3 t-shirt. Not only did we get a fantastic winning shirt, we also received a huge number of other great designs. There’s been a growing demand to make more of these community designs available for purchase, so for the past few months the Marketing team has been sorting out the legal and logistical challenges to make this possible. Tara Shahain has recently announced the good news that “we’ve partnered with Zazzle.com to create the ‘Mozilla Community Store’ — a sidekick to the original Mozilla Store which will serve as a new and open channel for community generated products. The Community Store isn’t quite finished yet, but I hope to have it ready in the next month or so. Make sure to start thinking of your designs! Once it launches, we’ll have plenty of details to help guide you through the entire process. Stay tuned!” More information about this project is available on Tara’s weblog.
