Independent Status ReportsMonday September 6th, 2004 By Brian KingThere is an enormous push at the moment on the grassroots level in co-ordination with mozilla.org to increase the number of Firefox/Thunderbird downloads and get folks to switch from other browsers and email clients. This push includes one thousand reviews of Firefox on the download.com product listing page, compiling a list of 2000 sites that should have Get Firefox buttons but don't have them yet, and fortherecord — an attempt to recruit people to help Mozilla to get more press coverage. Some websites have sprung up to encourage and inform users on making the switch. All don't focus exclusively on swithing to Mozilla clients, but they are included. See zillivisation, Browse Happy, Switch2Firefox and FirefoxIE. And of course, one of the best reasons for switching is the great choice and quality of extensions available. Enjoy these latest reports from some of the projects! Note: If anyone has an update that they would like included in the next report, go here, or have any feedback on the reports in general, feel free to contact us.

CVS contains updated JavaScript Bridge classes: Delphi functions now return values (string, double, integer, boolean and object types) to JavaScript. CVS also contains patches to improve SpiderMonkey's unicode support. This is beta code so please report any problems via the mailing list. Stef Mientki spotted that the zip for 'Taming the Lizard with Delphi' (GeckoBrowser) contained the Delphi 4 source instead of the most recent Delphi 5+ source. This has now been fixed. Highlights
