The Burning Edge - Blog of the Week
July 4th, 2006
For people who like to keep up with the latest Firefox developments - new features, betas and bug fixes - the Burning Edge is a really good blog. It basically just aggregates information which you can find on Bugzilla and Mozillazine but in a really nice and readable way. It used to be updated more or less daily but it’s not updated about ever week.
Each blog entry lists bug fixes and new features which were checked in to Mozilla between the time of the last post and the current post. It also lists current regressions, to a Mozillazine thread for discussion and a link to builds for Windows, Linux and Mac.
The Burning Edge has really taken the pain out of tracking Firefox for me; I’ve probably been reading it from around Firefox 1.0’s release and following the progress of 1.5 and 2.0 on it. Of course, this blog is much more useful if you are a nightly tester but anyone who loves Firefox can read it. Just don’t expect any prose or poetic genius from it.
For Thunderbird fans, check out The Rumbling Edge.

Love the Burning Edge. Stopped visiting after I went back to the more reliable Branch builds though, which the Burning Edge doesn’t focus on much.
Trunk builds were fun, but too adventurous for me now.
Most of the stuff which gets checked in to the Branch also gets checked into the Trunk so I’m currently using it to follow Firefox 2.0’s progress. You have to filter out the Firefox 3 noise yourself but it’s still a lot easier than using Bugzilla.
