mozdev.org

(The web site)

By Brian King

You may have noticed that the site has been sluggish for the last week or so. The reason is most likely that the web server traffic volume has doubled in a week. Projects have been much in demand due to the latest series of releases from mozilla.org, with users visiting to look for their favourite extensions and themes. We are taking a number of steps to handle greater traffic in the future, including hardware upgrades and splitting of services onto several boxes.

Link Visitor

(Mark link(s) as visited/unvisited right in page)

By Billy Law

  • Mark a link as visited or unvisited
  • Mark all selected links as visited or unvisited
  • Mark all links as visited or unvisited (new in 0.30)
  • Always mark bookmarked links as visited (new in 0.30)

Optimoz

(Optimizations, including gestures, for the Mozilla browser)

By Jens Bannmann

The Optimoz project has released Mouse Gestures nightly build 2003-10-19. Despite being labelled "Nightly", this is a major upgrade which is stable enough for day-today use. Changes since the last nightly (June 2003) include:

  • Preferences panel is now compatible with Firebird 0.7
  • In the gesture mappings editor, your changes are not saved until you click 'OK'
  • Single message window is now supported (all mail gestures available)
  • Basic ChatZilla support (left - right to switch panes)
  • Unsupported windows no longer show an error alert ("Could not identify...")
  • Fixed a bug which prevented users from entering text into the custom JavaScript code field (mappings editor)
  • Errors in gesture functions can no longer cause MozGest to stop working
  • Fixed image resizing functions

... and many small bugfixes.

It has been reported that this build works with Thunderbird 0.3, although this is not yet officially supported. Read Buckminster's Thread for details.
