my new job at mozilla

Started by johnlilly · 3 months ago

Sometimes in life, you find an opportunity to make a difference in something you care about, and it feels like, even though you didn’t know it at the time, that the last few years have really just been practice, giving you the background, skills and ability to really help.

    Congratulations on the smooth upgrade! Between you and Ascher, I'm quite impressed by your vision (as blogged, at any rate) for heading up the nuts and bolts of things, and I have pretty good hopes for Fx & Tb in the future. :D [Needless to say, you've got a great crew as well, but as far as tech. leaders go, I've been /very/ impressed by the tech. knowledge the two of you have about the products you're leading. This should not go without saying, as it appears to be conspicuously absent in many other companies.]

    And of course, Mitchell shall oversee the giant picture, and has some great opportunities ahead of her, and she deserves this greatly.

    Having downloaded "Thunderbird" for the second time have found it so frustrating that I have gone back to "Outlook" and I haven't been able to find anyone to complain to.
    Coming across the name "Lilly" I thought it opertune to mention my moan to another of the great family Lillie, note the posh Scottish spelling.
    Thunderbird does not let me access incoming mail! all I get is a dialogue box stating that the folder is being processed, and processed and processed, what gives with this "wonderful" alternative to Outlook.

    I have been very happy with MF for the past 18 months. Three weeks ago, my MF unexpectedly disappeared as my active browser and I have been unable to restore it ever sice. 20 attempted downloads of the latest version and it still won't open, run or be utilizied in anyway. IE suddenly appeared as my browser, something I loath and wish not to use. How can I replace IE with my old MF and get back to work?

    I'm a web application developer and I love FF.
    I just checked the statistics, there are still above 52% users still using IE.

    I'd like to contribute a little idea to mozilla. It may increase mozilla market share and save a lot of developers' efforts.

    I just wonder, instead of expecting those 52% users initiatively to download and install mozilla,
    how about convince them to download and install a IE plugin from mozilla?

    Imaging, just like Flash Player can embedded into browser and handle certain type of content,
    a small but rock solid plugin from mozilla is designed to embedded into IE and capable to handle most of tasks that a browser normally will do to HTML page.

    Then, encourage the developer community to invoke this plugin at their pages, when IE is detected, as they embed Flash Player. I believe that community is easy to convince, as we do our work with FF on daily basis.

    Beside, who can resisted if their standard complaint products are workable even within IE environment. Not mention there are a lot of technologies that may help on developing large and complex web apps.

    Form those 52% users' view, they are continue use IE and they just download and install the plugin as the web content requested. Nothing is special compare to Flash Player!

    The outcomes are quite clear, now!

    IE will be chased out of market if MS failed to response on those demands that web apps created.

    Long live, FF!

    Impossible to find the 'sent mail'..... there is no longer the possibility to look at the mail that I have sent....there is no longer the section on the side where it was possible to select.

    There are no 'local folders' openable from thunderbird.

    Hi, John,
    Are you the same John Lilly who did research on dolphins a while ago at NIH , and later off the coast of Florida? If so, I know you. My sister-in-law worked with you. She came to live with us for awhile, and you went to California. Of course, maybe you aren't the same one. If you were the same one, you would be retirement age. In any case, congratulations on this career.

    Well I hope that one of the first things that John Lilly impliments is a way where users of their products can contact them in the case that their update causes problems with their users computers. I downloaded the upgrade and immediately I had problems as from that moment on my none of my web browsers would access a web page. Google Earth Works, Email works and Yahoo Instant Messenger works. This is how I knew I was connected. Now Firefox does not work, nor does Explorer or Safari all that I have on my PC. So here I am trying to figure out how I am going to contact Mozilla as I am borrowing time from a colleagues computer. Perhaps they will prove to be the credible company we all hope they are and will reach out and help me. Perhaps they will ignore this call for help and leave me to continue to broadcase my story and tribulations. I have tried all that I know and nothing works. Now I can only sit and wait and continue to look for a way to contact Mozilla via some other means.
