Mozillazine shutdown


Recommended Posts

Unfortunatly, the site is shutdown because they cant affort the 4000 USD they need for the server to run their forum.. Mozillazine is the forum for FireFox, ThunderBird and Mozilla suite.

Sad news since there is a new FireFox.

they are looking for some generous donators....

Correct me if I'm wrong but most of ppl download special builts from other guys and these builts are on other servers.. So the download stuff bandwitdth is not on this server...

You don't realize how much stress forum software puts on a server.

Well it is text, along with graphics ( the buttons and stuff ) Now think of it like this, everytime you view the forums, it has to come up with all that. It may not be much if only one person is viewing it at a time, but the Mozillazine site and forums were hammered when Firefox and Thunderbird come out. A lot of people grabbing a little bit of data each is the same as one person grabbing a huge download

explain me because no I don't :(

A forum is text for me and no huge file to download...

It has little to do with the content that comes to you, it's the amount of work that must be done to generate that page. There's a fair complex script running that forum and it needs a lot of horsepower to run.

they aren't actually closing down are they - its not shut down either.

They want some more money to move onto a new server, and are accepting new donations to do this. I have no doubt that they will probably meet their targets; if that doesn't work i imagine the site will be absorbed by the mozilla group = thus no more problem.

    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
