as an aside, it was also extremely cool/interesting to me that i was able to get the extension working with only a couple of modifications to the XPCOM api calls that had changed between 2004 and 2016

Sorry, i should have clarified — i feel like XUL, at a very early stage in the web's development, helped inform what advanced / platform independent interfaces might eventually look like (Facebook JSX -> React -> React Nativ

While I understand from a technical and business perspective (particularly due to the security implications of needing to manually review each and every new addon) why Mozilla eventually went down the WebExtensions route, having personally

Hey thanks! It's mostly just html/js/css/, but there is also some php (for the guestbook) that I've actually been meaning to port over to Go recently. I normally wouldn't use source control for a project as tri

God, I've been complaining about this for so many years now. The hardest part about duplicating the Web 1.0 aesthetic (well) has been finding the primary locations where the tile/image/iconsets originated and mirroring them f

I almost never find her bargain bin brand of post-libertarian NRx/UACC reactionary drivel insightful (who the hell unironically retweets kantbot and those #rhetttwitter teenagers), but to each their own I guess.

This is the largest disappointment of all. The power of XUL/XPCOM extensions was the only thing really keeping me invested in Mozilla in recent years.

I believe this has something to do with moving favicons out of places.sqlite and into favicons.sqlite. This completely destroyed my favicons (thousands) SeaMonkey's Bookmark Manager (and search history going back years).

I agree that the Firefox user interface feels way too cluttered these days. I know this is a highly unpopular opinion, but I find the way that the Suite (SeaMonkey) allows you to collapse/expand title bars infinitely more functional th

Their marketing problem is, in my interpretation, based around the flawed mindset that you should treat users as non-technical cattle. This is the chrome way. The problem is, Mozilla has historically thrived off of the opposite - the '

Seriously, I don't understand why EMC2 (the polywell team) still relies on the pennies they receive from the Navy. We should be investing at least $200 million into polywell research.
