As with Linux, Firefox and Thunderbird are available for Solaris and OpenSolaris in a variety of forms: supplied with the OS, installed separately from a pkg and installed separately from a tarball (both available from Mozilla.org). Of these, the only way you can get any sort of automatic update is with the first option: via an OS update and this tends to lag behind the available releases by quite some margin. Well, that's about to change, at least for some people.I'll get straight into the technical details and leave the background behind all of this to the very end.This post and the accompanying code was inspired by this article on Mozilla Developer Center.Update: Ooops, it would seem the automatic update DOES work by default for the tarball downloads, it just doesn't offer an automatic upgrade between 3.5.x and 3.6.x as I was testing. I'll leave the rest of this post as is as an "education" for those wanting to implement their own internal crude update system.  Continue reading ►

Wow!!! This is pretty impressive. In about two hours, the guys in the Habari community whipped up a functioning Mozilla Account Manager plugin for Habari so users can now take advantage of the Mozilla Account Manager extension to login/logout of their Habari sites from anywhere on their site (no need to locate the login button/form).  Continue reading ►

I was a bit disappointed to read that the Mozilla Foundation/Corporation is seriously considering giving Thunderbird the chop and setting it free from the constraints and support of the Mozilla Foundation/Corporation.  Continue reading ►

Did you know that very few browsers implement the :after CSS property for the "img" HTML tag?Nope, neither did I until I wanted to use it.I'm in the process of redesigning my personal site, and one of the things I wanted to do was use CSS to place the Flickr logo after any image I include in a post that is stored on Flick. I do this already with a bit of HTML & CSS, but I need to remember to add the snippet of code everytime I include a Flickr image. By implementing it in CSS, all I would have to do is ensure I use the correct class name and it would appear automatically.  Continue reading ►

I've been using the Lightning Calendar extension, along with the WCAP extension ('cos we use SJSCS) to access my calendar at work for some time now.I've configured the extension/Thunderbird to remember my calendar login details, added my calendars and all in all it works a treat. However, there is one thing that really started to annoy me. Everytime the session expires, I get this lovely little alert box:  Continue reading ►
