I haven’t blogged in a while, so I wanted to give everyone a quick update on som of my projects.

Version 0.7.1 of Firefox Activities is waiting patiently to be moved out of the AMO sandbox. Unfortunately my 0.7 version had a memory leak, so I missed my chance. Once Firefox 3.0b5 was released, the AMO […]
