HTML5 drag and drop in Firefox 3.5

Oh hey, look! It’s another blog post—and this one is cross-posted on hacks.mozilla.com. I won’t say this is the start of a renewed blogging habit, but let’s see what happens. dl { margin-left: 2em; } dd { margin-left: 2em; margin-bottom: 0.25em; } Drag and drop is one of [...]

Improving my Delicious command for Ubiquity

After writing up my first stab at a Delicious command for Ubiquity, I planned to continue revising it based on feedback and to work on exploring more of what Ubiquity enables. I started looking into writing my own nouns for tag suggestions, as well as playing with page load and browser startup hooks. [...]

Putting the Sexy into Firefox Theme Browsing

As mentioned back in week 3, I’d started work on bug 419647 to “add a sexy theme browser” to addons.mozilla.org. Well, I’m not sure about my success in imbuing it with the required sexiness, but it’s at least been noticed by someone. :)

Firefox 3 Download Day Mega Widget

Update: Oh, and rumor has it that this widget will switch to reporting on downloads, rather than pledges, once the main event has begun.

firefox, rss, xsl – from anger to apathy

Having skimmed through this Mozilla newsgroup thread, I’m perturbed anew about the new Firefox 2.0 misfeature with regard to RSS feeds and client-side XSL. My original grief was that it cost me a significant bit of pointless debugging time even discovering that it was a brand new gotcha. But, the “we know what’s [...]

Microsummaries and Content-Type Mysteries

One of my favorite features of the new Firefox are Microsummaries. They’re like RSS-lite: one-liner summaries of web pages that can be used to keep bookmark titles up to date and get succinct info about a page. For example, you could get the latest temperature from the title of a weather report bookmark, [...]
