[Mozile] Firefox 2.0

[James A. Overton]

Hi Jean-Paul,

Mozile should work fine in Firefox 2.0, perhaps with some new bugs.  
It's just a matter of developers finding the time to test things  
properly, fix minor issues, and release new packages.

You can create your own unofficial updated packages using the  
instructions here:
http://lifedev.net/2006/10/firefox20-extension-update/
I tried that for Mozile 0.6.27 and 0.7.5, and the basics worked. If  
you try that, we'd like to hear your experiences.

Max d'Ayala maintains Mozile 0.6.*, so it will be up to him to update  
that version.

I will release 0.7.6 when I get a chance, which will incorporate some  
minor changes and will be compatible with Firefox 2.

Mozile 0.8 is a better editing engine, going forward. The test suite  
runs perfectly in Firefox 2. There isn't an extension version of 0.8  
yet, but eventually there will be -- that's just a matter of someone  
having the time and interest to make one.

I hope that answers your questions.

James
