Its now 0300 PDT and I'm very tired. If Mozilla added more hours to the day I wouldn't have to get up at 0600 PDT to help my gf with homework. I spend so much time working on the Lizard with Sidebar panels, hangning out on irc://irc.mozilla.org/#mozillazine and irc://irc.mozilla.org/#sidebar that I just don't have time to do my own work. I'm setting platform to other because there is no "space-time continuum" platform, I'm also setting the OS to other because I don't know what OS the universe runs on. Leaving this unconfirmed because Moz may actually be adding hours to the day, but I am unable to detect it without doing some physics calculations that would further deprive me of sleep. I think this should go in the component "Live Connect", but I'm too tired to try to figure that out. Setting Severity to major because I want sleep _now_. (Maybe I should stop filing bugs and just go to sleep, nah.)

get rid of the gf, then we can help you ;p. maybe blake will want her?

Making this bug as blocking bug 51015 because there would most likely have to be a major disruption of the space time contium (sp?) before Microsft would start using Mozilla. This same disruption should allow us to add more hours. How do you code this up? Can XUL handle it, or do we have to go lower level?

Adding myself to cc: list since I think I will be encompassing standards compliance to include GMT measurements. Also confirming bug as I have the same issue on current builds.

doron: getting rid of the gf is not an option, sorry. There's no way I would give her up. However I did recall seeing an article at http://theonion.com about an overclocker who created a rift in the time-space continuum by cranking his processor up so fast that it executed instructions before they arrived. I can't find the article now though. We should try to get the Mozilla to render content before it is downloaded, that may cause a similar effect...

Point well taken. Written up as an RFE. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60787

adding bug 60787 as dependency

try this for inspiration, Eric:) http://bbspot.com/News/2000/5/clock_rift.html I do believe, this is the story you are talking about. yet, to boost creativity, i would suggest: loading mozilla before user clicks the icon. No more whining how IE loads faster.

not gonna get to this any time soon so I'm reassigning it.

"i would suggest: loading mozilla before user clicks the icon." Works for me. In Mozilla for Windows: Edit > Preferences... > Advanced Turn ON Quick Launch

Comment #8 is a prime example of why this bug is so important.

THis should be marked invalid as Bugzilla is not the place for silly jokes its for decvelopers and bug finders

would be nice but is INVALID for obvious reasons

Reopening...this isnt hurting anyone and isnt asssigned to anyone and finally its one of my favorite bugs.

Bravo.

Marking Future because the physics of using binary code and xml to alter space time, or at least slow down the rotational velocity of Earth's axis, is not well understood and needs reserch. And quite possibly someone will know how to do this in the future.

lol :DDDDDDDD

The extraterrestrial beings responsible for this crop circle, http://lug.oregonstate.edu/index.php/Projects/Firefox/Firefox_Circle, likely have knowledge of warp travel that may prove useful here.

Setting highrisk, as temporal manipulations and extraterrestrial contact are both inherently dangerous.

(In reply to comment #15) I'm almost three years in the future at the moment, so hopefully this comment was useful: I think Travis's idea was a good way to approach this. In the future, we've now got a shiny Firefox curled around much of the globe, so we just need to decrease its shininess gradually over time. This will increase the friction between the Firefox and Earth and will slow Earth's rotation, increasing the length of each day. The heat caused by the friction can be radiated away from the Firefox's tail. If that's not sufficient, we might be able to collaborate on a fix with the IceWeasel guys. Perhaps we could reuse some code from the older version of the Firefox logo? ( http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/spot-the-difference ) It seems a lot less shiny and so presumably would provide more Firefox-Earth friction. Note however that this approach is currently limited to Earth until we can get Firefoxen curled around other planets, which is blocked by bug 262173 comment 6. Fortunately, this won't be too much of a problem for Mars, since its day is already 24 hours 37 minutes, or Mercury and Venus (58 and 248 days respectively). But by the time we get to Ceres and Jupiter, whose days are only 9 hours 4 minutes and 9 hours 55 minutes respectively, we're gonna need a better fix, such as the planet-agnostic humping interface described by bug 262173 comment 6.

I see no reason to keep this bug open.

This is actually more relevant than even given the repaid release cycle. Reopning.

why are you closing this and removing depends bugs? You may not want to fix this, but other might want to pick it up... also this type of bugs don't affect normal bug triage, so leave then alone. Please reopen.
