Extension developers urged to comply with Firefox 2

by Grant Robertson Jun 20th 2007

What's more annoying than your favorite Firefox extension not making the leap forward to the shinny new version of FF you've been dying to use? Very few things. Justin Scott of Mozilla has issued a call to developers to bring their extensions current, or face being banished to the sandbox.

"Firefox 2 was released 7 months ago, and around 800 add-ons hosted on addons.mozilla.org are not yet compatible with it. Firefox 1.5 is no longer officially supported by Mozilla, so we're requesting that authors update their add-on's compatibility to a maxVersion of at least 2.0.0.* no later than 12:01AM Pacific on Monday, July 9, 2007."

So, if you're an extension developer who hasn't made the switch yet, get on the stick and get coding; No, really, we're watching you.. get to work!

Version 2? I was under the impression version 3 is coming out in the not-too-distant future. These guys are way behind.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
