It is a war crime according to the "Protocol on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Mines, Booby-Traps and Other Devices".

Article 7 section 2 states: "It is prohibited to use booby-traps or other devices in the form of apparently harmless portable objects which are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material."

Israel is a signatory to that agreement.

For a Debian system with firefox-esr, you can download the XPI for the hotfix directly to update the cert, then restart firefox and reinstall your addons. The URL of the hotfix XPI is in this bugzilla report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/s...

Original source of the fix: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpk...

No.

About 600 of them work directly on Firefox.

Sorry, I see nothing about a Mozilla and Microsoft partnership there. Care to be more explicit?

Can you say more about this Mozilla and Microsoft partnership? Thanks.

What if "what I want" is to be able to visit the sites that are linking to a YouTube video I'm watching. Today I can't easily do that because YouTube doesn't want me leaving YouTube.

The number of CVEs assigned to Wordpress + plugins vs Plone + addons is a very misleading metric for making this type of claim.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/ shows 45,129 Wordpress plugins.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:... shows 3242 Plone addons.

If you assume rough parity in terms of line of code between a Plone addon and a Wordpress plugin (a dangerous assumption), 10x more Wordpress related CVEs would indicate that Wordpress has a lower density of CVEs per LOC than Plone does.

But, of course, even that comparison is a misleading one to make. There are too many other factors that skew these numbers to draw any meaningful conclusions from them. CVEs simply weren't intended to be used for this kind of comparison.

I wonder the same thing about the scroll wheel. If you just slide you finger along the extreme right side of the screen, it's the same motion without the need for a separate wheel. Zoom would also be less ambiguous if it was done by sliding your index finger along the right side and your thumb along the left side at the same time.

It's probably safe to assume that every obvious way of translating a touch on a watchface into some standard UI concept is already patented though. Maybe the goal was to avoiding some existing patents.

I didn't notice the "days" links at the bottom until reading your description. At a quick glance, it just appeared that they removed the links to older articles on the home page. Those links could use more of a visual hint that they're for navigating the site and not just the standard background noise you see at the bottom of most websites.

Firefox comes with a couple of calculators built in. It has since before it was called Firefox.

What was the point of Firefox? IE was free and was a proven and already well-established browser. By your logic, we never should have built Firefox and the Web should have stalled with IE6 in 2002.

The world needs a truly open mobile OS as much as it needed a truly open browser a decade ago. Android is open in name only and Google is hurriedly moving its most lucrative components into closed proprietary services and apps that aren't a part of open source Android. iOS is as closed as everything Apple does. Windows is getting some nice HTML5 support for apps, but not nearly enough. There's clearly an opportunity for HTML5 apps to compete on mobile if someone can build a solid alternative platform to the monopolies and silos we're all stuck with today.

I don't think the so-called slashdot effect is in effect these days except for casual and amateur sites. Pretty much any serious site can handle a hard slashdot hit any more.

Your attempt to confuse here isn't really helpful.

Google does *sell* Google Glass and Nexus phones and tablets and Chromecast and Nest and soon Dropcams and probably more. They are "Google products" branded and sold by Google as theirs.

Mozilla only has one device that it works on directly, the Firefox OS Flame reference phone. The rest of the hardware you see out there is being made and sold by someone else.

And that's not just true of the hardware. Much of the work going on to extend Firefox OS software into areas outside of phones is being done by third parties for their products.

Mozilla doesn't build hardware. We make software, including Firefox OS. Firefox OS is a completely open platform freely available for any company to build on top of without restriction. There are dozens of companies building Firefox OS-based products today and there will be more tomorrow, covering mobile phones, tablets, TVs, set top boxes, game consoles, streaming dongles, wearables, and more. Some of those companies are working directly with Mozilla and others are taking the code and running with it on their own.
