Updated version of “Bug attachment source”

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

The Bug attachment source user script adds "source" links for each attachment, making it easier to see the source of attachments that demonstrate crash bugs. For zip attachments, it adds a "contents" link instead.

A recent Bugzilla upgrade changed the attachment table in a way that broke the script. Dan Veditz updated the script to work with the new version of Bugzilla (he got back from vacation before I did).

To use it in Firefox, you need to install Greasemonkey first. (Greasemonkey works fine with Firefox trunk, by the way.)

Porn browser wars?

Like Robert Accettura, I frequently get emails from strangers asking for Gmail invites, help with Firefox problems, or JavaScript code. But this one caught me by surprise:

Subject: HI....... porn?? Firefox or Opera????

Hello,

The dillema I am facing is. I love surfing porn. I am with Windows Internet Explorer 6 and have had a NIGHTmare surfing porn with it. I dont need the stress, so need some advice.

People have recommended Firefox, as you have. But I am also hearing now that Opera is best. So I am confused, and yet feel URGENT need to actualize one of the other. For sanity sake.

Can you help?

Julian

Happy New Year
