If you can wield XML, CSS and JavaScript, you're more than halfway to becoming a Mozilla developer." - via Scott Andrew

In related (not exactly brand new) news, Mozilla 1.2 Alpha is out: "This release has better keyboard navigation including Type Ahead Find which lets you quickly navigate to links, and browse the web without a mouse."

Let's hope that stability comes back with this release. While on my main box, Mozilla 1.0 runs stable as a rock, 1.1, no matter if alpha, beta or final, tends to crash with certain sites and a high number of tabs opened. Not enough, one time it crashed my entire machine, messed up my profile, forgot everything i teached my password manager and - worst - lost the entire e-mail configuration. Physically, the mails files and folder are still there, but Mozilla does not like them any more. I still haven't figured out to make them friends again. Not much delight that it only was the third time at all I saw the W2k blue screen on this machine. Still, however, Mozilla is my browser and mail client of choice.
