Chris Hofmann, the Engineering Director at the Mozilla Foundation (and my boss) was interviewed by PcTechTalk recently and you can read the results at the PcTechTalk site. Chris gives a nice plug for all of the hard-working Mozilla QA and testing contributors so of course I think it's a great interview :-)
Posted by asa at May 5, 2004 04:05 AMOkay, this is not a Ask Asa entry, but I can't find any recent ones so here it goes:
By the time Firefox 1.0 is released, will it be integrated with Thunderbird in such a way that it uses the same librairies/APIs/whatever and so doesn't take much more RAM (although I guess each would take as much hard-disk space)?
Posted by: Mikhail Capone on May 6, 2004 08:23 AMIf this is an OK spot for Ask Asa, I have a related question. :)
One feature I really miss in Thunderbird from Mozilla Mail in the suite is the "Open Link in New Tab" item on the context menu of links in e-mail. I frequently use this when I, for example, read my daily Slashdot article digest and like to open anything half-way interesting in the background (i.e., not a bunch of separate windows). Unless this is already available and I'm just missing it...
