(apologies for the break in blogging. Taking another stab at ye ole’ blog) With 103,000,000+ downloads and counting, Firefox 4 has been shipped to the world, hopefully providing a noticeable improvement in their web browsing experience. Speed, interface improvements, and a multitude of fixes and improvements, users should at least notice something different with their Continue reading

Mozilla offers an opportunity normally not available to users of most software. The ability to submit bugs directly to the developers of the software and watch the progression of the bug. With this comes a responsibility normally not faced by software companies. Because users can report these bugs, it means that unless they are looked Continue reading

There are certain community members who agree that old bugs should be pinged, while others think that it is an annoyance rather than a help. And I agree it is a fine line that needs to be Continue reading

Well, I knew that sometime this would have to be tackled. After closing another batch of ~1100 old UNCO bugs the other night, I decided to turn to our other forgotten bug problem, the NEW bugs. First, a bit of backstory. NEW has been almost like the second trial of a bug. If a bug Continue reading

Well, I’m back. The puncture wounds have healed quite a bit (though I shall have more scars to add to my collection of accident related injuries).

Well, I’ve decided that I should try to put my goals into words, so then I can go back to them at the end of the year, and see how I’ve done. I always will try to set goals, then modify them halfway through. Maybe if I post them for the Internets to see, I Continue reading

Recently, I have been focusing on cleaning up old, forgotten and outdated bugs on Bugzilla. Currently we have almost 8000 bugs that are UNCO in the Firefox Product (an extremely handy table) (there are roughly 1100+ bugs waiting until Jan 30th to be closed as INCO). This number is down from a total of 12,000+ Continue reading

Alright, well, this summit has been much busier than anticipated. I haven’t been able to keep up with blogging as much as I desired. But, it is quite rewarding. Last night I had a 4 hour discussion with tmyoung, ctalbert, and several other triage people about how we can improve our triage process. This afternoon Continue reading
