A couple of months ago, I started working on a new feature for Firefox, the first part of which landed last night and is in today’s nightly. It’s pretty rough-looking still, but over the next few days and weeks we’ll be landing new features as they’re written and struggle through the review process. There are [...]
If you’ve been around these parts, you may have seen a flurry of screencaps with the words “Grabup” on/in/around them. Tired of the constant advertisements, I decided to roll my own.
(before proceeding, I should tell you that Johnath has a shell script you can invoke from a terminal window that you might find adequate. The [...]
One of our goals for moving forward with Firebug is to build a system to run automated unit tests for it. Currently, Firebug is modified, packaged and then tested by a small (but enthusiastic!) group of developers. When changes are made to the codebase, the area under development might be tested by the developer, but [...]
This week was a pretty incredible week for web stuff. The Labs people kicked off their Ubiquity prototype, letting the world get a taste for some of what will be possible through natural language processing and the browser. I also discovered a new feed reading add-on for Firefox called Feedly which does some very cool [...]
The performance machines reporting to the Firefox and Mozilla1.8 trees will be going offline tomorrow morning, Friday, August 31, 2007 for some improvements to both buildbot code and support for the Linux and Mac ports of Talos. We are expecting the outage to be from around 5am PDT to 9am PDT*.

This morning, while no-one was looking, I secretly landed John Resig’s patch for bug 379506 (after a quick run-through in my local Linux VM). Everything is A-OK.
In other news, Axel Hecht submitted a nice patch for the TinderboxPoller in our local copy of Buildbot. I snuck that in too.
Thanks guys!
or month, actually… but I’ll try to keep this post limited to the events that occurred most recently.
The background: John Resig did some great work building a new test suite for a recent cut of the MochiKit test suite to run under mochitest (bug #379506). Shaver popped into #developers the other day and said something [...]
(with apologies to the KLF…)
I saw this note on Schrep’s blog this afternoon and remembered, that last week was actually kind of a milestone for me. With dbaron’s help. I made my way onto a 4-digit bug – the venerable #3247 – counters in css-generated content.
David Baron wrote the original tests (which you can see [...]
That little page was my first view of the new testing buildbots living in the Mozilla colocation facility. It may not look like much yet, but it’s overflowing with potential. What does it do, you wonder? It runs test-enabled builds, then runs make check, reftest and mochitest. From the three columns, you might infer that [...]
I ran into this today while trying to get a working build of XULRunner on OS X. I’ve seen this error before while doing browser builds but didn’t bother to do any searches on the source of the problem. Instead I just killed applications and dashboard widgets and went on my way. Today I decided [...]
