This splinter project was started by a small group of disgruntled Mozilla developers who were extremely disappointed in the Netscape browser and not satisfied with Mozilla's mediocre successes. We believed in the technology that Mozilla had built in the last 4 years, but we knew that commercial organizations like Netscape and Microsoft did not care about making a better browser because it was not in their financial interest to do so. • In 1999, the IE team was more than 1,000 people and it crushed Netscape removing any commercial incentive in web browsers and in 2001, after the release of IE 6, the IE team was disbanded. • With no money to be made from the browser itself, the Netscape.com portal, which was still generating revenue, took over the development of the Netscape browser. 5 Early Firefox • Phoenix 0.1 to Firebird 0.7 ¾ Phoenix 0.1 - September 23, 2002 by young volunteer group ¾ Successful updates and development model • Firefox 0.8 ¾ Firefox 0.8 was the first Firefox version that received a lot of press notoriety and even some early mainstream adoption. • Successful Standalone Web Browser ¾ By this point, Mozilla Firefox based on Mozilla 1.0 was seeing stronger adoption than the Mozilla Application Suite.Based on Mozilla 0.6 6 Firefox 1.0 • November 9, 2004, Firefox 1.0 was released ¾ First month downloaded by 10 million people ¾ 100,000,000 downloads in the first year! • User-focused Features ¾ Tabbed browsing, Pop-up blocking, Toolbar and Sidebar ¾ Easy data migration from IE, RSS feeds ¾ Extensions and Themes ¾ Localization over 20 languages 7 Mozilla Roadmap 8 Firefox 1.5 Gecko 1.8 (aka Mozilla 1.8) update, Customer Extensions User Experience Open Standards Security and Privacy • Tabbed browsing • Improving already best • Automated Update enhancements in class standards • Clear Private Data • Performance support • Architectural changes • Accessibility • <CANVAS> (think of it and development as “programmable process improvements • Usability improvements <img>” ) and SVG • User Preferences support Extensibility • RSS Discovery • Enabling next • Improved pop-up • Extensions allow users generation web blocking to customize their applications browser to fit their • New search options - needs e.g., Answers.com • Over 700 extensions. 9 Firefox 2 No Gecko update, Front-end features added and improved User Experience Benchmarking Open Standards • Tabbed browsing UI • Resume data when • JavaScript 1.7 enhancements crash and restart • Support SVG:textPath • New Theme • Inline spell checking • Microsummaries • Better support for • New windows installer • Open Search previewing and (NSIS) • DOM Stroage subscribing RSS feeds • Enhanced Preferences • Phishing Protection Extensibility • Enhanced search • New add-on manager engine management and update system. 10 Firefox Market share 11 Firefox 3 Gecko 1.9 update, Graphic Experiences and Web Application Platform • New Features ¾ Various Patches for Gecko Engine’ bug and functions ¾ SVG, Canvas 2D (Completed Cairo Graphics) ¾ Offline Web Applications ¾ Open Standards Microformats, Javascript1.8, SVG: Foreign Object Cross-domain XMLHttpReauest and WHATWG things Pass Acid2 (CSS Standards Test) ¾ Places : New bookmark and Cache Storage with SQLite ¾ Switching to Cocoa Widget in Mac • Release on Q4, 2007 12 Mozilla Products 13 Development Tools 14 Mozilla Ecosystem 100- Full time developers elsewhere 300 - Contributors with CVS-write access 150,000 - Testers with Bugzilla accounts ~100,000,000 – Mozilla product users Mozilla Developer • Engineers ¾ 100 at the Mozilla Corporation and Mozilla Foundation ¾ Others full time from Sun, Oracle, IBM, Redhat, Novell, Google, and others; still more contributing patches • Localizers ¾ Official 30 languages releases ¾ Over 100 languages translation teams • Testers ¾ 50,000 pre-alpha testers file 70 to 100 “bugs” a day, more than 100,000 beta testers • Extension/Theme developers ¾ Over 2,000 extensions for Firefox ¾ http://addons.mozilla.org 16 Mozilla Community • Documentation ¾ Mozilla Developer Center ¾ 13 localization teams ¾ http://developers.mozilla.org ¾ • Support ¾ Help, usages, troubleshooting and products guidelines ¾ http://support.mozilla.org • Advocates ¾ Over 100,000 advocates of our products ¾ http://spreadfirefox.com • Local communities ¾ Excellent in Japan, German, Polish and Korea 17 Effects of Firefox • IE7 ¾ Reorganization of IE team • Web Standards ¾ Spreading Open Standards Penetration ¾ WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology W/G) ¾ W3C New HTML W/G • Browser Improvement ¾ Opera with Free ¾ Safari with Iphone • Best Practice for Open Source ¾ User-participated Innovation ¾ Good Business Model based on User’s needs 18 Why Firefox succeed? • For the users ¾ 무료, 웹 표준, 보안, 크로스 플랫폼 • By the users ¾ 확장 기능, 테마, 그리스몽키 • Of the users ¾ 탭, 팝업 차단, RSS, 검색 툴바 19 User-driven Innovation • User-participated Marketing ¾ New York Times Advertisement ¾ Firefox Flicks ¾ SpreadFirefox.com • User-driven Development ¾ Extenstions ¾ Theme • Firefox could be an alternative for healthy internet world! 20 Mozilla Manifesto : Keywords Focus on Web as an Alternatives • Choice ¾ Internet is public resource.

  • 1 Heidemarie Hanekop, Volker Wittke the Role of Users in Internet-Based
    Heidemarie Hanekop, Volker Wittke The Role of Users in Internet-based Innovation Processes The discussion of innovations on the Internet is increasingly focusing on the active role of customers and users. Especially in the development and improvement of digital products and services (such as software, information services or online trade), adapted to consumer demands, we observe an expansion of autonomous activities of customers and users. The division of labour between suppliers and users, producers and consumers is no longer definite. This also brings into question long standing and firmly established boundaries between employment which is still structured by the capitalist law of profit and a private world following other principles. The digital mode of production and distribution, together with the necessary means of production (personal computer) in the hands of numerous private users, provide these users with expanding possibilities to develop and produce digital products and services. In addition, the Internet as a platform of communication facilitates world-wide production with participation of a great number of users ("mass collaboration" – see Tapscott 2006). The development of Open Source Software (OSS) and the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia represent a particularly far-reaching participation of users. It is true that we are dealing with the production of public goods here and therefore specific basic conditions for "mass collaboration". However, concepts like "interactive value creation" (Reichwald/Piller 2006) or "open innovation" (Chesbrough 2003, Chesbrough et al. 2006) propagate an opening of innovation processes for users unrelated to companies also in the framework of commercial value creation, as a central new dimension of promising organisation of innovation processes.

  • Clearing of Cache & Cookies
    Clearing of Cache & Cookies What is cache? Cache memory is temporary memory used to store information that you accessed when visiting web sites. Cache speeds up a computer’s connection time with web sites that have been visited previously by locally storing information about that connection on the computer so that it does not have to be downloaded each time a site is visited. Why should cache be cleared periodically? Cache can become corrupt or outdated. As a result, cache can slow down or prevent a web page’s output and/or connection instead of assisting it. Clearing cache deletes corrupt or outdated data. It also removes unnecessary information stored in memory from sites that were only visited one time. Clearing Cache helps all web surfing not just PAWS. Internet Explorer 8 1. Open the Internet Explorer web browser. 2. Click on Tools. 3. Select Internet Options. 4.

  • Marcia Knous: My Name Is Marcia Knous
    Olivia Ryan: Can you just state your name? Marcia Knous: My name is Marcia Knous. OR: Just give us your general background. How did you come to work at Mozilla and what do you do for Mozilla now? MK: Basically, I started with Mozilla back in the Netscape days. I started working with Mozilla.org shortly after AOL acquired Netscape which I believe was in like the ’99- 2000 timeframe. I started working at Netscape and then in one capacity in HR shortly after I moved working with Mitchell as part of my shared responsibility, I worked for Mozilla.org and sustaining engineering to sustain the communicator legacy code so I supported them administratively. That’s basically what I did for Mozilla. I did a lot of I guess what you kind of call of blue activities where we have a process whereby people get access to our CVS repository so I was the gatekeeper for all the CVS forms and handle all the bugs that were related to CVS requests, that kind of thing. Right now at Mozilla, I do quality assurance and I run both our domestic online store as well as our international store where we sell all of our Mozilla gear. Tom Scheinfeldt: Are you working generally alone in small groups? In large groups? How do you relate to other people working on the project? MK: Well, it’s a rather interesting project. My capacity as a QA person, we basically relate with the community quite a bit because we have a very small internal QA organization.

  • Security Analysis of Firefox Webextensions
    6.857: Computer and Network Security Due: May 16, 2018 Security Analysis of Firefox WebExtensions Srilaya Bhavaraju, Tara Smith, Benny Zhang srilayab, tsmith12, felicity Abstract With the deprecation of Legacy addons, Mozilla recently introduced the WebExtensions API for the development of Firefox browser extensions. WebExtensions was designed for cross-browser compatibility and in response to several issues in the legacy addon model. We performed a security analysis of the new WebExtensions model. The goal of this paper is to analyze how well WebExtensions responds to threats in the previous legacy model as well as identify any potential vulnerabilities in the new model. 1 Introduction Firefox release 57, otherwise known as Firefox Quantum, brings a large overhaul to the open-source web browser. Major changes with this release include the deprecation of its initial XUL/XPCOM/XBL extensions API to shift to its own WebExtensions API. This WebExtensions API is currently in use by both Google Chrome and Opera, but Firefox distinguishes itself with further restrictions and additional functionalities. Mozilla’s goals with the new extension API is to support cross-browser extension development, as well as offer greater security than the XPCOM API. Our goal in this paper is to analyze how well the WebExtensions model responds to the vulnerabilities present in legacy addons and discuss any potential vulnerabilities in the new model. We present the old security model of Firefox extensions and examine the new model by looking at the structure, permissions model, and extension review process. We then identify various threats and attacks that may occur or have occurred before moving onto recommendations.
