BusinessWeek has a short post on Firefox, a good (but short) read, my favorite is:
…Firefox has anywhere from a 10% to 18% worldwide market share among browser users, depending who is counting, and almost every Web site that matters makes it possible for Firefox users to fully access their pages. The turning point came earlier [...]

Since we started we have thousands of reports filed (many on the same sites, some invalid reports, and some just using the tool thinking it’s for tech support requests) reporting issues encountered on the web. This is awesome feedback (and a big thank you to everyone who filed a report). I’ve noticed several [...]

Just a little status update for the curious. I’ve been hacking away at reporter quite a bit lately, after a little break. I discussed my plans a few months ago. My tree now has the ability to send an image of the page I’m reporting to my dev instance of the reporter [...]

Reporter has received report #100,000! The first report came in 2005-05-15 10:12:07 PST. Now at we have report 100,000 reports and counting in the database.
And we’re not done. I’ve been going through the data, as well as making reporter better so we can get more out of the data. We’ll be [...]

I blogged a while back about American Express being a real problem for Firefox users. This issue (bug 294201) is now fixed! Thanks to everyone who participated on that bug, and of course whomever at American Express actually fixed it.
American Express was by far our most reported website in Firefox 1.5 thus far. [...]

American Express is the number one reported website to have issues with Firefox. You can see the report here. It would be great to get this one resolved. So here’s what I need:
If anyone out there works for American Express, or knows someone who does, let them know about this blog post, [...]

I’ve now had about about 48hrs with the new laptop. Just a few thoughts (in no paticular order):
On the plus side

Well built as typical of IBM. Nothing if squeaky, flimsy. It feels very solid, despite being so thin.
The 9 Cell battery sticks out the back a little (about an inch). And [...]

The laptop story is finally over.
Yesterday, a shiny new Thinkpad T43 arrived. I gave it a few hours yesterday and it performed well, no signs of any problems. I’ve got some extra RAM on order to help things out even further.
Executive Relations did come through, despite some supply issues limiting their abilities. [...]

Now that I’ve basically stabilized the new reporter tool for the branch, I’ve been planning for what will come in the next version. Quite a few neat little enhancements, some small, some larger.
Client Side

Screenshots - you will be able to attach a screenshot when sending a report. The option will be disabled by [...]

I could use a few volunteers to do the following:
Help me clean up reporter
Everything needs a cleaning now and then. Check for reports in reporter that just don’t belong. “Microsoft Sucks” isn’t a valid report. Some are merely tests. Find them and send me the reportID’s (you can leave a comment [...]
