Tab previews idea for Firefox
Tab previews feature is not a new idea. It was originally planned for Firefox 3 and 3.5 (was known as 3.1). Now, it's back again in the Firefox 3.6 nightlies. There is also the Ctrl-Tab extension by Dao Gottwald, for ...
BarCamp KL was a blast!
Last weekend was really a blast, thanks to the BarCamp KL event held on April 4th and 5th. This is my second time participating in BarCamp and it just got even better than I thought. I met with few familiar ...
Belated Happy Chinese New Year
Alright, I'm back from my hometown yesterday. The traffic was terrible and it took 8 hours to reach KL from Penang! A huge headache! Well, I went back last week with my friend in a car. Since there are no Internet ...
Phoenity is back
Phoenity. What a nice name. That's what I said last time. Even now, it is still a very nice name. Phoenity. Good news everyone, I'm back. Phoenity is back. For the past two years, I've been very busy with university life and never ...
Vista-style tweaks for Firefox
Last time, I used to play a lot with the Firefox interface. The following web pages can prove it: Rounded Address Bar Firefox 1.1 Options on Firefox 1.0 Neat Trick css help Those days were great. It reminds me how I use to apply some ...
Back to the two browsers
I'm in Kuala Lumpur now, just back from Penang two days ago. I got to admit, taking the bus to and fro is getting very exhausting these days. Sigh. Anyway, I'm safe and sound. I'll be working too. But then now ...
Playing with portable applications
As I blogged before, I've bought a pretty cheap 512Mb USB Flash drive from PC fair last month. It's really a great gadget for me to store my lecture notes, programming source codes, circuit design files, and assignments. Yet, it's ...
Firefox Secrets
Cheah Chu Yeow is the man! Though he hasn't been blogging much last few months, but he's sure capable to produce such wonderful book for everyone. Also not forgetting Asa Dotzler for being the Expert Reviewer of the book, while ...
Breast in Phoenity?
i spy... a breast! phoenity 1.4.1 - refreshingly 'normal and healthy' in the best sense a 19 y.o can be! http://phoenity.com/about.html the firefox motion indicator in the far right corner of my screen is not a small white illumination, travelling anti-clockwise ...
Firefox logo mania
I think I did this two months ago but I couldn't remember. Anyway, I won't keep it on my hard drive for long. My hands got itchy at that time, so some of you might expect what will happen. Yes, ...
First steps in theme design
I remember before I started making themes for Phoenix, I don't know anything at all about icons design and theme design. At that time, I have never even created a theme or skin for any software before. But somehow I ...
Personal review of Firefox 1.0
After two years of using Firefox, I have never actually write a thorough review of this browser. Okay, I am not a tech specialist or journalist but somehow I feel like want to write something. I don't regard my previous ...
Firefox 1.0
Mozilla Firefox 1.0 released! I am downloading it now, from a local mirror site I found from the Lowyat.net forums. I browse around and found the news spread very fast. There's the Firefox start page, David's hard work, Ben's thoughtfulness and ...
The inverted Firefox experiment
Would anyone like to conduct an experiment? A very simple experiment? I once watched a documentary on how wonderful the human brain is. Our grey matter has the ability to learn new things, remember a lot of data, control our ...
More Malaysian Firefox fans
This time, I found more fans, thanks to Kar Soon's initiative. This proves that most Malaysian Firefox fans are partygoers! James Ooi of Jolmy Ho Fu Ken of Mobile Ken Earl Ku of Love Foolosophy Nilesh Babu of NileshBabu.com Chan Chiu Yi of cchiuyi blog Ross ...
Firefox 1.0 party in Malaysia
I couldn't believe my eyes. Someone named karsoon has initiated a party in Malaysia! The location hasn't been settled yet, but I don't see Penang listed there, unfortunately. Even more surprising, more than 10 Malaysians will be attending the party! ...
Malaysian Firefox fans
After days of searching, I'm quite disappointed to find only a few Malaysian Firefox fans: Ching Yonghan of Jsxblog Kenny Lee Jian Siong of Beyond Thoughts Dreams Hafiz Ismail of foreclosure of a dream fundabonka of Darker Side Of Saturn I'm not sure if there ...
Malaysians and Firefox
I always wonder, am I the only Malaysian involved in this Firefox mania? I asked myself this question ever since the release of Phoenix 0.1, about two years ago. If you don't know what is Phoenix, you might not realise ...
Smart icon sizing
I've spent the last few days updating the Phoenity theme for Mozilla Firefox 1.0 PR. Again, I found few more interface glitches during the process. I also had some problems here and there, as I struggle to cope with the ...
'Address' label for address bar
Last two weeks, David Tenser quoted: The Address bar should have a label, like in IE. It's not completely obvious now what the text field is for, and it's not easy to tell the difference between the two (address and search), ...
Spreading Firefox
Wow. These days, Firefox is spreading so fast! So many things happened and I'm so slow to catch up. Mozilla Firefox 1.0 Preview Release is now available, and I encourage everyone to get it while it's hot! I know that ...
Conceptual Firefox
Oh no, my right hand gets itchy again. That means I need to draw something. Anything, as long as it's art. If there's a paper and pencil around, my hand will self-react to reach them and draw anything that runs ...
Firefox Dust 2
Last month, I wrote about some dusts I found in Firefox. I supposed it's a good read for most Firefox users. However, it is only the scratch of the surface. You might see this as a form of criticism, but ...
Mozilla verses
The first ever Mozilla build I've downloaded is Mozilla 0.8. At that time, I have only half years of computing experience. I was quite excited to discover an easter egg when typing about:mozilla into the Location or Address bar. If ...
Scrollbar tweaks
Do you notice anything weird in the screenshot? Take a look at it carefully. It's neither the themes list nor the buttons. No, it's not a trick image or whatever. It's the scrollbar. I've customised my Firefox with Mac-alike scrollbars, by adding ...
Firefox Dust
I've quietly released Phoenity 1.2 for Firefox yesterday night. It's a huge update with lots of fixes and changes, especially the bug fix with Googlebar extension. The updating process has taken me weeks, because I need to examine every single ...
Better browser
Firefox is truly a better browser with new features coming up for version 1.0. The recent popularity of Firefox sparks more interesting Firefox switch sites made by Firefox fans. There is also a new spell checking extension for Firefox 0.9+ ...
Bored and Bugged
The official Firefox switch web page looks boring. The official Firefox home page also looks boring. That's why we need a better Firefox landmark. And I volunteered to help out in the development of the site. I hope other Firefox ...
Firefox everywhere
Okay, I've added my own Firefox review and downloaded the Firefox 0.9.2 torrent file from pryan.org Mozilla Bittorrent tracker using Yet Another Bittorrent Client 2.6.8. By the way, I found out that Gmail Notifier Extension v0.2 was released and doron, ...
Community action
The Mozila community has been very busy lately. Mozilla 1.7.1, Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2 and Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7.2 were released altogether. Frankly speaking, I haven't download Firefox 0.9.1 yet. I guess I'll download this 0.9.2 build instead, since the Mozilla developers ...
Busy schedule
Why do I get more busy than ever? I have more work at school and more projects to be done. I still have the Phoenity theme lying on my hard disk, untouched since last two days. By the time I ...
Catching up
I'm really, really late. Many things happened in just few days and I'm too slow to catch up. Firefox 0.9.1 released five days ago and I haven't even download it yet. One of the bigger news is the new alliance ...
Take Two
Kevin Gerich wrote about the new Winstripe 0.2. It's a very good read. I could actually feel its glory eventhough I didn't get my hands on it yet. Wow. I'm going to like Firefox 0.9.1 by the time it's released.Labels: ...
More Winstripe and Gmail stuff
Okay, MozillaZine forum is back to normal. Great. I read discussions about the upcoming Firefox 0.9.1 and the new Winstripe. Pretty good. At the same time, I found out that GMailCompose has been updated to version 0.2.1 with improved features! ...
Winstripe changes and Gmail stuff
Early morning I got online and found out that MozillaZine forum is down. Something must have happened. And I don't even know why. Maybe due to the recent changes in the Winstripe theme? Has it improved? Is it better compared ...
Homesick Winstripe
Today, I look at Winstripe again. This time, I focus on the Home icon. Before I start to experiment with this, I asked myself, what is a home? What should a home looks like? The first thing that comes into ...
Firefox 0.9 installation
I've uninstalled Mozilla Firefox 0.9RC and 0.8 from my Windows XP system. I've deleted the Firefox folder from the profiles directory, just to make sure everything starts out clean. I've double-clicked the FirefoxSetup-0.9.exe file, imported my previous Firefox 0.8 ...
Double Surprises
This morning, the weather was better than yesterday. I felt energetic throughout the lessons conducted in my class. After school, I went to my Pengajian Am tuition. Later, I went home and had few minutes to get online. Once connected, ...
Winstripe Reloaded
Reload or Refresh? Internet Explorer uses Refresh. Mozilla and Opera use Reload. Both has the same meaning and function. Both has the same icon, which displays two arrows pointing in opposite direction, in circular form. One of the most creative ...
Winstripe Stoppage
It's time for another detective work. Today, I focus on the Stop icon. It's quite a controversial icon, because it always interferes with other icons such as Delete, Close and Error. All of them are practically designed with the 'X' ...
Back to Winstripe
I've been looking at Winstripe, pixel by pixel. I feel like want to do some detective work on it. If you roughly take a look at the icons, they feel too much like those icons taken from older Windows, including ...
Winstripe in action
Mozilla Firefox 0.9 Release Candidate released today!! Oh, I mean yesterday. Or maybe my time zone here is a bit different. Or maybe I'm a little late. Neil Turner already had a tour, much earlier than I do. I took ...
Firefox theme drama
I've been reading. A lot. About the upcoming default theme for Firefox that has been haunting quite a number of people lately. The new theme is called Winstripe, replacing Arvid Axelsson's Qute. Reading the comments has been pretty good for ...
