A while back I posted some concerns about the Thunderbird primary interface. My concerns were not really so much about features but about how those features were exposed in the user interface. I offered some suggestions, in bugs and in mock-ups, that I thought would help. None of those suggestions were radical re-designs. They were mostly about cleaning up and de-cluttering the current UI. Last we
if you have nothing to hide... If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. If you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines -- including Google -- do retain this information for some time and it's important, for example, that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act and it is possible tha
I try so hard to make things suck less...And miles to go before I sleep. It's Alive! Over the last couple of months, the group working on Mac Chrome (myself included) has shifted gears from layout tests and WebKit compatibility to getting the application user interface up and limping. That also means getting the separate WebCore renderer processes to communicate over IPC to the browser. Last week,
I try so hard to make things suck less...And miles to go before I sleep. Standing on the shoulders of giants Two things opened up for me today. First, I'm allowed to talk about my project at Google. Second, it once again involves working directly with the open source community, something I've really enjoyed over the last ten years with Mozilla. I'm talking about the public release of the Chromium
We have been busy, mostly fixing bugs for stability, but also winning a bit more performance, since TraceMonkey landed on mozilla-central, from which Firefox 3.1 alpha-stage nightly builds are built. Tonight's builds include a fix for the bug that ilooped a SunSpider test (my apologies to those of you who suffered that bug's bite). But what I'm sure everyone wants to know is: how do we compare to
I'm extremely pleased to announce the launch of TraceMonkey, an evolution of Firefox's SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine for Firefox 3.1 that uses a new kind of Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler to boost JS performance by an order of magnitude or more. Results Let's cut straight to the charts. Here are the popular SunSpider macro- and micro-benchmarks average scores, plus results for an image manipulation
It seems (according to one guru, but coming from this source, it's a left-handed compliment) that JavaScript is finally popular. To me, a nerd from a tender age, this is something between a curse and a joke. (See if you are in my camp: isn't the green chick hotter?) Brendan Eich convinced his pointy-haired boss at Netscape that the Navigator browser should have its own scripting language, and that

XPath Generator hits the trunk After eighteen months of "try, try again", the first version of XPath Generator code has landed in Mozilla 1.9 "trunk" code. It is currently off by default. I'm quite pleased with this. This is the first complete feature I've driven from initial API drafts to a final implementation in Mozilla CVS. So how do you use it? First, you need a build with ac_add_options -ena
XTF: When XBL just won't cut it A few days ago, I was trying to load XBL bindings onto elements that the user doesn't see. By this, I mean the elements were loaded via a DOMParser. Unfortunately, that doesn't work. Since I've no desire to spend time trying to make it work in XBL, I reluctantly turned to another Mozilla technology, the eXtensible Tag Framework (XTF). Why reluctantly? Well, XTF is s
This is not an original thought, but I write with some authority here. I hacked Unix kernel code out of grad school at SGI, in SGI's "good old days" (1985-1992). Among other things, we took single-threaded (ST) kernel code and multi-threaded (MT) it on SGI's SMP boxes. I won a free trip to New Zealand and Australia in 1990 along with Bent Hagemark, with kernel source on magtape in our hot little h
Mozilla has gone from open source whipping boy in 1999 to open source poster child since 2004, due in large part to the success of Firefox. For that we can thank some amount of luck with our "timing the market" -- the browser market that no one knew existed, until it was suddenly clear in the summer of 2004 that Microsoft had dropped the ball and Firefox was picking it up. But we didn't just get l
One of the most problematic tasks when working on a Web browser is getting an accurate measurement of how long you're taking to load Web pages. In order to understand why this is tricky, we'll need to understand what exactly browsers do when you ask them to load a URL. So what happens when you go to a URL like cnn.com? Well, the first step is to start fetching the data from the network. This is ty
You can download nightly builds of Cocoa Firefox now. Many thanks to preed and coop for getting this up and running!

I try so hard to make things suck less...And miles to go before I sleep. Pump Up The Volume I think what confused me was that before Apple made the change to using the hardware switch for mute on the iPad, if you turned the volume all the way down, everything went silent. After the change, that is no longer the case; you need to engage the mute switch to silence everything. I expected the function
