Mozilla has been designed with extensibility in mind. It means you can enhance, hack, bend, fix Firefox or websites in infinite ways: First, it's a FLOSS project. You can read the source code, modify it, and even roll your own version of Firefox. Additionally, you can write extensions. Extensions and Jetpacks give you a way to do almost anything you want. Change the UI, add new features, fix bugs, ...

Demo - Firefox 3.5: Web Workers in action
Explore Article blog.mozbox.org (Apr 15 2009)
One of the new cool features of Firefox 3.5 is the support of Web Workers (see the WhatWG specification). Web Workers give you a way to execute a part of your Javascript in a thread. That means smoother pages. I've written a little demo showing Web Workers in action. But first, a little explanation of the code: I've developed the Simulated Annealing algorithm, which is useful for finding the shortest path between several points (displayed on a ). Here is a demo (without Web Workers). Click on the load button, then on the start button. The main demo So, the ...

Video Tag And Subtitles
Explore Article blog.mozbox.org (Mar 10 2009)
I've written a little Javascript code that lets you add .srt subtitles to the video tag. Subtitles are displayed on top of the video element, in an html:div. A subtitle is HTML content. That means you can include links, images, or whatever you want inside the subtitles. Here is a demo: without subtitles with subtitles Notice that links are clickables :) You can add anything you want on top of the video, like a element. If pixels in the canvas are transparent or semi-transparent, you will see the video behind it. Be creative ;) P.S: you need Firefox 3.1/3.5: ...
