Gecko is Gecko

I just read a post by Robert Kaiser in mozilla.dev.general, that contains a great link: http://www.geckoisgecko.org/ I see it as something like www.googleityoumoron.com, but for web developers. It might be useful for users of Mozilla-based browsers, other than Firefox. The Mozilla Developer Center also has a good article on Browser Detection and Cross Browser Support, [...]

Whole Lotta Theme Discussion Goin’ On

Those interested in giving feedback on purposed changes to the Firefox 2 theme, should head over to the mozilla.dev.themes newsgroup, where there is quite a bit of feedback/discussion taking place. In addition, the SeaMonkey Council wants to give SeaMonkey a new default theme. Head over to the mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey newsgroup, to give your feedback on that. [...]

Removing ‘Remove All’

Here’s a question: Using any of Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, the Mozilla Suite, or Netscape, have you ever purposely clicked on the ‘Remove All’ button, in the password manager? Follow up question: Have you ever clicked on it by accident? Clicking on it by accident, is easy, when it sits right beside ‘Remove’ button. Luckily, the [...]

Presenting “SeaMonkey Help”

I have created a SeaMonkey Help site. It was inevitable. Most of it is copied over from my Mozilla Help site, with the appropriate changes. The majority of items have been tested, but not all. There were many that I just assumed also work in SeaMonkey. Contact me, if you see any mistakes. Website URL: [...]

Outlook and OE address book support in Thunderbird

Mozilla Thunderbird and SeaMonkey (and even the Mozilla Suite and Netscape 7) can actually be set up to use your Outlook Express address book, and/or your Outlook Contacts list. It’s just another one of those features that are not in the user interface. To make Thunderbird use your Outlook Express address book, close Thunderbird, and [...]

SeaMonkey and Firefox/Thunderbird share more than I thought.

Some of you may be aware of my webpage that compares the differences between Mozilla Suite versus Firefox and Thunderbird. With the impending release of SeaMonkey 1.0, I decided to create an equivalent page comparing SeaMonkey against Firefox and Thunderbird. Because SeaMonkey uses the Mozilla 1.8 codebase, I figured the list of differences would shrink; [...]

Digitally signing newsgroup posts

I recently did some testing of SMIME signed newsgroup messages. First, I guess I should state how I achieved it in Mozilla Thunderbird (also works in Mozilla Application Suite, and Netscape 7): First, set up one of your mail accounts to have a certificate for digital signing. Close Mozilla Thunderbird, and open your prefs.js file. [...]

Your browser is NOT outdated

Today Netscape 8 was released; so I went to Netscape.com to download it. I was automatically redirected to a detour page, with this message [click on image for the full page]: I’m using Firefox 1.0.4. Netscape 8 is based on Firefox 1.0.3. Folks, if you get this message, don’t believe it. It’s a lie. The [...]

A Proper Signature

For those who didn’t know; RFC Standard ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/news/doc/so1036.txt “signatures”: short closing texts, auto-matically added to the end of articles by posting agents, identifying the poster and giving his network addresses etc. If a poster or posting agent does append a signature to an article, the signature SHOULD be preceded with a delimiter line containing (only) [...]
