The Fire.fm extension is more than four years old today. I created it with coworker Jose Enrique Bolaños to submit it to the Extend Firefox competition. It was a great product, if I can say so myself. It won the Best Music add-on prize and garnered a great deal of users and good reviews at [...]
Also tagged add-on, fire.fm, github, last.fm, mozilla, xulforgeI’ve been meaning to experiment more with Mobile Firefox for a while, but I’ve had very little time to work on my own add-ons, which are the best source of real-world development experience for me. Since I had received a couple of requests to port Remote XUL Manager to mobile, and this is a fairly [...]
Also tagged add-on, mobile, mozilla, remotexulmanager, xulforgeSince I haven’t blogged here for quite a while, I thought it’d be good to do the mandatory WordPress version update and then post a little update on the side projects I’m currently working on: Remote XUL Manager has taken most of my spare time. It’s been exciting just because it’s a fairly new project [...]
Also tagged add-on, editors, fire.fm, gsoc, idea, mozilla, pneumaI’ve been meaning to write about this for a while now, but I just haven’t had the time for it given all the work I’ve been doing surrounding the Firefox 4 release. The editor review queues are predictably getting much more submissions, and I’ve been trying to keep add-on developers up to date with Firefox [...]

I’m pretty much done with the former, and will be adding the latter probably [...]

There are no concrete plans of making this a part of Firefox in the near future. Read my previous post for more info. Part 3 – Installation Add-on performance [...]

Also tagged google, gsoc, idea, mozillaWhen I wrote my previous post about making add-on packaging simpler, I hoped but didn’t expect much to come out of it. It was more like taking a peek into the community and see how much interest there was for these kinds of proposal. I have a real desire to see things like this come [...]
Also tagged google, gsoc, idea, mozillaThe past few years have been completely surreal for me. I still can’t quite believe I’m working for Mozilla and helping the project in such a significant way. It’s one of those things you dream about but you never expect it to become true. Then it happens and you realize it’s just a matter of [...]
