Bugday: Triaging Top 100 Sites

No Comments on Bugday: Triaging Top 100 Sites

Well, it’s a great goal they have in go through all the Evangelism bugs. That should make some real ground in making sure Mozilla not only meets, but kicks IE’s royal butt everywhere.

What I found interesting was the Alexa Query for the Top 100 English Sites. If you look at those websites, most will never work in Mozilla, and it’s a good thing.

I’m shocked how many spyware/adware/parasite websites made it in:
Offeroptimizer.com
Gator.com
Hotbar
AdultFriendFinder
Internet Optimizer
etc.

Just an interesting note. I’m glad Mozilla is incompatible with that garbage. It ain’t a bug, it’s a feature. 😀 And proudly so.

I butchered it tonight when upgrading. Decided to clean out some plugins I didn’t use. And it got really messy. It should be mostly restored. Damn I hate making mistakes.

1.6 losing networking?

I’ve had this bug a few times, and I can’t figure it out, so I ask if anyone else has had this.

Occasionally, when browsing, it suddenly acts as if there is no network. No response when connecting to a server. To my surprise, closing Mozilla, and reopening it fixes it. Has anyone seen such an issue with the nighties lately? This has been happening to me for a few days, and I would like to get a bug on this if at all possible. I’m going to turn on some logging and try to get this figured out, but any info from others who may have experienced this would be greatly appreciated.

The number 1 bug to be fixed

The #1 complaint I hear about Mozilla is how it handles some media (mainly Windows Media Player), when servers incorrectly sent the text/plain content type. Bug 220807 is supposed to fix that.

If only Sea Monkey would pick that fix up earlier than 1.7a, it’s somewhat of a large fix for 1.6b+ I know. But hey, I’m eager to see 1.6 be that release that people just can’t find something to complain about 😉

I think this is a prime example on how an end user focus can better the product. There must be countless duplicates of this issue in Bugzilla. This is a perfect example on how the new focus is bringing about a browser that is not just “better” than Internet Explorer. It’s destroying Internet Explorer.
