== About me ==
 
  
I'm '''Jesse Buchanan''', a fifth semester CPA student. I'm currently enrolled in the OSD600 course, which focuses on open source development, specifically the Mozilla project. I've been using open source software since 2000 when I started playing around with Linux.

== Bugs I'm CC'd on ==
 
 
In Week 6 we were requested to CC ourselves on three blockers for Firefox 3. Here they are:
 
 
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305692 305692 – Warn when entering chrome:, javascript:, and data: URLs into address bar]
 
 
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398346 398346 – Opening/closing toolbar customize breaks the location bar]
 
 
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383369 383369 Secure (encrypted, https) sites loading as being partially encrypted. Broken lock is present as is the white address bar]

== Copy-paste: Compiling Firefox in Seneca lab ==
 
 
In the interest of being able to copy and paste, here is how I build Firefox in the Seneca labs, in Linux (Matrix). Note I'm using Chris Tyler's source tree, which is probably horrendously out of date.
 
 
mkdir -p /tmp/moz
 
cd /tmp/moz
 
scp learnid@tel2096.proximity.on.ca:/public/* .
 
unzip *.zip
 
cd mozilla
 
vi .mozconfig
 
 
Go into insert mode and paste the following:
 
 
. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
 
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-@CONFIG_GUESS@
 
ac_add_options --disable-optimize
 
ac_add_options --enable-debug
 
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS=-j3
 
 
Save, and run:
 
 
time make -f client.mk build
