Tilt is a Firefox addon that lets you visualize any web page in 3D. A new update is available, coming with more developer-oriented features. Try the addon. To start Tilt hit the CTRL+SHIFT+M or go to Web Developer > Tilt in the tools menu. :) Since the first alpha version of Tilt was announced (a Firefox extension focused on creating a 3D visualization of a webpage), a lot of work has been done to add a great number of developer-oriented features. These focus on debugging the structure of a webpage, inspecting styling and attributes for each node and seamlessly refreshing the visualization when the DOM structure changes or after contents of document are repainted.   Solve nesting problems Tilt is useful when searching problems in the HTML structure (like finding unclosed DIV elements for example) by providing the extra third dimension, layering each node based on nesting in the DOM tree. Stacks of elements visually represent branches in the DOM, and each node...

Last night I filed a bug against the Firefox 4 beta Sinhala rendering issue on Win, Linux and Mac. Within a few minutes Mozilla market the bug as a blocker for 2.0 but the bug was fixed less than 24 hours. It is obvious that Sinhala is a minor market for Mozilla interns of numbers. But they do care about all the communities and languages, unlike the proprietary companies who maintain Sinhala just for Marketing and pass their Tender bids. This is what you can feel and experience within the Open Source community but not in commercial products. As some of you can remember Fedora community also fixed a Wijesekara IM related issue and a ibus-Sayura 64bit issue within few days. But can Microsoft Sri Lanka fix a Sinhala related Bug within a week? ;-)  ~ feel the freedom ~ Latest NightlyBuild on 2011 Jan 28th Download Nightly Builds for Linux 32bit Download Nightly Builds for Windows 32bit Firefox 4 beta 10 with broken render...
