Hierarchical to-do lists
If bug 194863 is fixed, I’m swtiching to Mozilla Calendar. I’ve been wanting task management software for Mac that supports hierarchical to-do lists for ages.

Attention Netscape users
So your browser is no longer being developed; and you’ve been told to try Mozilla Firefox. But the Import Wizard in Firefox does not list Netscape 9! Luckily, the Firefox Support knowledge base has an article for importing from Netscape… http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Importing+from+Netscape (If you’d like to improve the article, look at our Improving articles document.)
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, [...]
Browser and Mailnews FAQs Restructured
Well, I finally did it. A little while ago, I posted about my browser and mailnews FAQs being too big for one page, and that I was considering giving each FAQ item its own page. I contemplated using a content management system, but in the end decided to get rid of template content that I [...]

Digitally signing newsgroup posts

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. [...]
Netscape 8 is now secure…at least when using gecko
Back when the Beta version of Netscape 8 was released to the public, I stated in a previous blog entry, that: The plugin used to access Internet Explorer’s rendering engine opens Netscape 8 to the same security vulnerabilities Internet Explorer has, regardless of what rendering engine is being used. To further explain this, there is [...]
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 [...]
Mozilla Firefox vs Netscape 8
This blog post is not a comparison of Firefox and Netscape 8. I’ve been doing some prototype and pre-beta testing of Netscape 8, which is built off the Mozilla Firefox code. Netscape has recently released the Beta version, and made it available to the general public. When such a variation of the Mozilla code is [...]
