There were over 36,000 download pledges though, so there must be Firefox supporters somewhere. If youre in Morocco and want to meet up send me a message.

Dan Schafer wrote a conversion script that will allow us to convert from the AMO .po style to the standard gettext style.

Initially I wanted to solve a nasty regression bug dealing with overlapping events, but as I delved into the quite monolithic code I got entangled by other issues that caught my attention. For example I found it not so easy to keep track of all the shadow elements of the event boxes. Also I noticed certainly like other users too - that the shadows sometimes seem to be sort of tattered at the corners. For this reason I..http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/calendar/2008/07/berends_developer_notes_final.html Brian King: Extensions and Business- July 9, 2008 Image via Wikipedia Fred Wilson recently asked: Can You Build A Business on Browser Extensions Alex Iskold tries to respond: Can Browser Add-ons Be Business Well, this question has been answered a long time, as companies have been building extensions for Firefox for years, and the Mozilla Suite before that. Yet as mentioned in both articles, the extensions are supplementary to a broader range of services that a company offers, or one of many entry points into those services.
