Bugzilla 3.4 released

By Admin

Yesterday Bugzilla 3.4 has been released. Given the blog post from Max Kanat-Alexander who is one of the developers on this project, it’s the best version ever. A couple of new stunning features found their way into the new release. I’m really looking forward to see bugzilla.mozilla.org updated so all those will be available for our daily work. I’m really looking forward to some of the new features: Shorter Search URLs – Never annoy people on IRC or in emails anymore with URL’s which takes nearly half the screen. ItContinue readingBugzilla 3.4 released

The Website Testing project

By Admin

Since I’ve been started to work for Mozilla in January this year I lead and helped out in various projects. One of those projects where I have a leadership I was able to select on my own opinions based on which would be helpful for Mozilla and our great community. As the solution the Website Testing project was born on QMO which I will describe in detail now. Comparing all the different ways we can get in contact with each other or searching for information on the web is definitelyContinue readingThe Website Testing project

Staying in California

By Admin

It’s already a week ago since I had to flight-out to California. The time is passing really fast while working with such awesome people on the best web browser. Sorry that I wasn’t able to post about it yet. I hope that I’ll find time in the next days to give a short report. Just in-front a picture of the Caltrain station in Mountain View. Sadly it was only one day with sunny weather. In the last week it has been raining mostly all the time. I hope for betterContinue readingStaying in California

Minefield @123%

By Admin

Apple seems to have some problems with the calculation of the cpu load for processes which really stress the cpu. Just open up several tabs with videos on YouTube and you will see how your cpu load will raise over 100%. Out of curiosity: Does Apple already has a patent in software-overclocking? Update: The activity monitor sums up all the cpu usage for any thread within an existing process. Means, depending on the amount of cpu’s or cores and the amount of threads for that process, the cpu load canContinue readingMinefield @123%

Getting hired by Mozilla

By Admin

Actually this post should have been already written last Monday, but there were too many things going on. But lets start, now! It was an unbelievable Monday. And definitely the best one ever in my life. After 8 years of active contribution to the Mozilla project, I was getting hired by Mozilla. Means, from now on I work as a full-time QA engineer in the QA execution team. And like any other remotely connected office-less person I’m working from home. For now I’m based in Karlsruhe which is located atContinue readingGetting hired by Mozilla

Get Window Media Player plugin work with all installed Firefox versions

By Admin

As what a couple of you have probably already noticed, the official “Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin” does only work with one of your installed Firefox instances. If you have installed multiple versions in parallel or running nightly builds, it wont work. Before you are able to watch embedded wmv content, the installed library file “np-mswmp.dll” has to be copied to the plugins folder of the appropriate Firefox installation. While doing QA and having the need to download and running nightly builds of Shiretoko or Minefiled, it requires you toContinue readingGet Window Media Player plugin work with all installed Firefox versions

Getting the list of fixes between two Firefox versions

By Admin

If you are using a beta version of Firefox or even a nightly build, to help in testing brand-new features and verifying fixed bugs, it’s sometimes necessary to identify a regression. Normally you will start in narrowing down the regression range by dividing the possible time frame in smaller chunks. It will take some time but finally you will end-up with two identified builds. One build with the feature working and another one with the regression starts happening. The next step will be to get the list of patches, whichContinue readingGetting the list of fixes between two Firefox versions

First Mozilla community meeting in Germany

By Admin

In the last months a lot of things were going on in Europe. Several local communities have taken the chance to held a community event in their own Country. Probably you have read something about it in the European Mozilla Community Blog hosted by Mozilla Europe. But nothing happened in Germany so far. As a German citizen I wasn’t glad about. So we have taken the chance to organize our first community meeting ever. Thanks goes to Abdulkadir Topal who managed everything to make it a terrific event. Because weContinue readingFirst Mozilla community meeting in Germany
