09.12.2005Mozilla ends Firefox 1.5 support, releases Firefox 2.0.0.4 and 3.0 Alpha 5 Preview
Mozilla Corp. issued the last
security update for its
open-source Firefox 1.5
browser Tuesday. It included
an automatic update mechanism
to give users the option of
upgrading to Firefox 2.0.
"The upgrade offer will
be enabled within in a few
weeks," said Mozilla in a
blog on its developer center.
The long-anticipated
end to Firefox 1.5 support was
originally slated for April
24, but last month, Mozilla
pushed back the drop-dead
date, saying it needed more
time to craft the automatic
updater. When Mozilla triggers
what it has called "major
updates," users will be
offered an in-place upgrade to
Firefox 2.0, which they can
decline if they wish. Users
can also permanently suppress
the upgrade message so it
never appears again. ..

Mozilla has cultivated one of the most interesting and healthiest
ecosystems for extension developers around its popular Firefox browser. The problems with this, of course, is
that whenever Mozilla releases a new version of Firefox, developers have to make sure that their software is compatible. For the next release of its
browser, Mozilla aims to make sure that 90% of those add-ons that make up the top 95% of add-on usage will be compatible with the latest version of
Firefox. The release of Firefox 3.1 is still a while off, but currently only 28% of the top extensions are ready for the transition...

Mozilla offers temporary fix
for Firefox flaw
Responding to the
disclosure of a serious Web
browser flaw, the Mozilla
Foundation offered on Friday a
temporary fix to protect
Firefox and Mozilla
users.
The
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozi
lla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.6
/patches/307259.xpi]downloadab
le fix protects against
attacks that take advantage of
a new, unpatched flaw that
could let attackers secretly
run malicious software on
users' PCs. The flaw was
disclosed late Thursday by
security researcher Tom
Ferris, sending Mozilla staff
into damage-control
mode.
The problem
has to do with the way the
Firefox and Mozilla browsers
handle International Domain
Names, or IDNs, said Mike
Schroepfer, director of
engineering at Mozilla. IDNs
are domain names that use
local language characters. The
fix disables support for such
Web addresses, he
said.
"This is a
temporary work-around just to
deal with the immediate
issue," Schroepfer said.
"We're working on a future
release in which we will
actually fix the problem and
re-enable the IDN feature."
Switching off IDN support
impacts a subset of Firefox
and Mozilla users who actually
use such special domain names,
he said. ..

Mozilla collecting all web tools together in one directory
If you're a web developer, you'll hopefully be aware that there are many helpful (and free) tools designed to progress your quest for an epic
website; the only problem with this, though, is that you have to find them. There is currently no centralized directory for all such tools, but
Mozilla's fed up of this, and has set out to build one of their own, according to MoMB (via the folks at TechCrunch). Mozilla has posted an entry
on their official blog regarding the new site, with Ben Galbraith saying, "There are an immense number of tools that have been created to help web
developers. Unfortunately, you might never know this; there's no central index of these tools.
