Mozilla Corp. has accepted Microsoft’s open source software lab’s invitation to help in getting the Firefox browser and Thunderbird e-mail client run under Windows Vista.
According to a reply posted by Mozilla said, "As Mike Schroepfer indicated, I think we're already in discussion with someone on your team about this, but for the record: yes, we'd definitely be interested in getting some 1:1 support. We have, of course, been testing on Vista, and Rob Strong has done some work with Ed Averett to ensure that we take advantage of the new "Default Program" infrastructure."
Mozilla highlighted other areas that both Firefox and Thunderbird should investigate as:
- effects of running in the new application security mode
- interacting/integrating with InfoCard
- integration with the common RSS data store and services
- integration with the Vista calendar and address book
Firefox said, "The facility and program that you describe should really help to ensure that we get the proper integration issues looked at for Firefox 2 and Thunderbird 2."
Something like a checklist of the most common OS integration points that have changed from Windows XP would be extremely useful advised Mozilla to Microsoft.
