Independent Status Reports

The independent status reports include news and updates from 
Mozilla application and extension projects hosted on mozdev.org 
and elsewhere in the Mozilla community.

Firefox 0.8 and Thunderbird 0.5 were released earlier in the week. Despite 
the name change, Firefox is continuing to get positive reviews[1] and set 
the standard for modern Web browsing. The name change may have broken some 
extensions, so if you suspect this is the case with one you have installed, 
contact the project owner[2] or file a bug on it[3]. Your continued participation 
will help Mozilla grow to a wider user base.
