Same as Diego and Franscisco here, on Ubuntu the embedded DroidSans font is displayed as hex boxes. Hope that gets sorted.

Think it may be a general problem with FF3.5, as this page doesn’t look great for me either:

Can someone ‘splain to me why Firefox does not die when the upper right hand x is clicked? After an hour or so of rigorous usage, Firefox turns to shit. Then it won’t quit unless I use Task Manager to kill it.

Very exciting to see how these new add-ons will perform and how many new ones we will see since so many people are familiar with HTML, CSS, and Javacript.

Is there a ogg version that I can download ? archive.org is a nice place for non-flash version…

Sounds like an awesome version of Greasemonkey with more access to Firefox’s features. Totally looking forward to scripting it here!

Hi… nice work for firefox, it’s a easy way for write code for firefox.

I have a little problem with the jetpack’s page [1], because the ttf, I think is not compatible with ubuntu, I can’t see the fonts [2]. If I delete part of css (@font-face) the problem disapear.

Nice.

Maybe it’s a good idea to implement a fast access to mozStorage for those who also knows web development with php/mysql.

I am sure it can be greater than GreaseMonkey in potential, but, so far, I do not see anything to this direction. Is it just another way of writing Firefox Addons? Why? There is already a nice way to do this! Is it an easier way to write Firefox Addons? Then how does one deploy their addons? Installing a plugin first which will support JetPack apps is a no-thank-you-very-much-I-hate-this-way kind of way.

I think the key concept is that an easier way to write Firefox plugins is needed combined with the fact that libraries such as jQuery can be utilized.
