I just received an email stating that my Find In Numbers extension has gone public on AMO.  This means that now you can install it without having to log in, and you'll be notified of any updates.  Thanks to all of those who had reviewed this extension.  This is my second public extension on AMO, after IranZilla (which I'm going to write about soon).  You can download this extension here.

I knew that porting extensions from one Mozilla-based application to the other should be easy, but I didn't know it was that easy!  Today, I updated my Find In Numbers extension to work in Thunderbird, Songbird and Flock!  It was mostly the process of finding the correct XUL file to overlay, find the GUID used for each application, and then editing the install.rdf and chrome.manifest files accordingly.

We have exceeded 1,000,000 pledges to download Firefox on the Download Day!  The current pledge count is 1,009,037.  Yikes!  US still has the most number of pledges (161,787), followed by Poland (75,112).  Brazil is nearly catching up with Poland (71,335), but shows a recent decline in speed compared to Poland.  You can watch the battle between Poland and Brazil here.  (Brazil is shown in green).

I just received my add-ons development t-shirt!  The t-shirt is so cool!  It features the Gran Paradiso robot, which has become the official character for Firefox 3.  It's a gift sent out to the developers which had at least one Firefox extension compatible with Firefox 3.  I received this for my Find In Numbers extension.  You may want to try the extension by the way.

Here is a picture from the front and back of the t-shirt:

We are approaching the Firefox 3 launch (which should happen some time late in June).  Today, the Firefox 3 RC2 was released.  There is a very high chance that this would be the last pre-release version of Firefox 3, and be turned into the final product.  So, go grab it while it's hot!  Make sure to report any problems that you encounter with it.  The Mozilla project needs as much feedback as it can get.
