Mozilla continues to fight a tough battle in Japan where the browser of choice continues to be Internet Explorer. They’ve had some good ideas like the maid approach, but alas, thats only one pillar of japanese marketing. If cosplay wont sell it, mascots will.

And in comes this little fellow, a cute Firefox. He’s lacking a name though, and thats where you come in. Mozilla is running a contest to pick a name The contest last until the 14th of September, no idea if there’s a prize though, perhaps a plushie or a date with a Firefox maid. Anyway go ahead, submit a name, I sent in ‘Fugito’.

We where just recently told that DDN looks all screwed up in Firefox, the menu’s at the bottom and what-not. We’ve spent all day trying to get it fixed to no avail. Thankfully Velcor found someone who’s willing to help us out! We thank him with our collective hearts.

While he tries to find the problem, I’m catching up on my rusty CSS. If anyone else cares to try and solve the problem, by all means! Give it a try! In the meantime, pardon our dust! (which you have apparently been pardoning for a couple of months already)
