If anyone decides to change the release channel, you can do it now by modifying 'app.update.channel' in about:config to nightly, aurora, beta... Update: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/940799

I don't think creating a new language just to compile the source to Javascript is a good move, especially when Javascript is being under heavily supervised & supported by a huge web development community. If Javascript isn't that expres

I think a user content generated community where huge number of people participate needs an explicit feedback system. We all want to learn from the good sources and filter out what aren't worthy and we need a way to distinguish them. If you

I'm using 4.0 "full-time" and it's the nightly build :). The only thing you need is Compatibility Reporter extension. It's here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003

I'm very happy with the result. However, on some javascript intensive webpages, such as https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home , it hangs the whole Firefox for a little while. Hopefully with a long timeline to the release, no such issues r

I'm also using Minefield 4.0b8pre as my primary browser and always look for new "nightly" update with hoping it solves the annoying bug: location bar doesn't synchronize with the displaying page/tab. Other than that, FF 4 has a very nice lo

Ha, if you are thinking that way, I would suggest VB.NET or C# instead. Why? I remember the first time I was creating an MFC project using Project Wizard, I felt like I'm a fool looking at a bunch of auto-generated text & having no clue

I hate to say this and I know I will be downvoted by "hackers" but I really don't understand why people (who know limited or nothing about Java & blindly follow the norm) always pick the word "ugly", "stupid" for Java? What superior of

It can be explained by the fact that Opera isn't the main rivals of Firefox in the browser market. Edit: http://arewefastyet.com/faq.html The team's explanation: Right now, the performance tests are run on a Mac, which means no IE.

Nice, but I prefer C# there as well where you use the var keyword, like this: var tickets = new ArrayList<Ticket<ThingYouLove>>(); Actually, JDK7 is better in this case because it helps developer to "program t

Is McAfee really worthier than Sun? If IBM took a deal with Sun at that high, the Sun would have moved around the earth and Oracle doesn't stand a chance to slur the OS community!

Yes, if something is great since day one, it probably stays away from the improving motivation. If you are willing to pay a price for what is being offered, you will get more pleased when it gets better and costs you nothing...

My first thought is how to unshare a folder and thank God, it's already been there: https://www.dropbox.com/share#tab:linked-items So, if you feel like "I wanna share this folder to the wild world, now!", just do it! You can change your m

Yes! Why doesn't Apple just let every browser run it and see how superior Safari is in term of HTML5 support? The answer is: Listen up, people! Download our Safari now! Time to ditch your IE, Opera, FF & Chrome!.. Oh, get a life! How me

Be nice because it hurts Dropbox. I usually save my working source file every small amount of time (quite often) and every single change would create a history version on Dropbox storage server which I don't need that much. I'm not sure how

Just like you, many things that are keeping me from switching to Chrome from FF but the biggest one for me, and perhaps lots of FF users out there, is faithfulness. We have known it's a pain (since Chrome’s appearance) but we can bear with

Also, how does he guarantee his function to be called at least once a day? Perhaps he needs a quantum machine to run his code or he should use a "predictable-random-generator" ( http://goo.gl/jsYC ) which "would violate his 'stateless' requ
