False Alarm
There were reports recently of a new security bug that affected both IE and Firefox involving the outerHTML property. Thanks to the hard work of Dan Veditz we've concluded (and Sans agrees) that this is not an issue in Firefox.

Uninstall Survey Data Viewer!
Thanks to the hard work of Wil and the Ops Team there is now a viewer for the uninstall survey data. Have a look. Definitely lots of useful data in there.
For those curious the graphs are rendered via plotkit. The viewer app was our first use of CakePHP - which we'll be using more of in future projects.
Nice work WIl!

The Power of One
The Mozilla project is at a really interesting stage of life. We are large enough to get meaningful things done, yet small enough to notice the impact of each individual. As the project has grown it has been really fun to watch the impact of each new person. For example, for FF2 without Dietrich we wouldn't have Session Saver/Tab undo. Without Robert Strong we wouldn't have the new installer/huge upgrades to the extension manager. Robert Sayre has made the new RSS features possible. I could go on for pages ... (I'm leaving lots of folks out here).
I can't think of another place where a single person can have such a significant impact on a product used by tens of millions of people. This is truly a great place to be.
