I'm confused by the last sentence:
> The whole web, including Firefox users, will benefit.
Why is Firefox thrown in here? And the post is even tagged with "firefox". But the contents of the post seems to have absolutely nothing to do with Firefox, except inasmuch as Firefox is an application that interacts with the web.

- stuaxo 11y agoI'd guess that because it was a bugfix by google - people might assume it was something to do with chrome or android, when it should help any webuser that talks to a linux based server, including firefox users.
- Manishearth 11y agoThe tag is probably so that the post will show up in Planet Mozilla (http://planet.mozilla.org http://planet.mozilla.org). I often tag non-Mozilla posts as "mozilla" if they are still relevant to Planet's scope on my blog too. I've submitted a category feed instead of the full RSS blog feed so that I can exclude things which are physicsy or otherwise irrelevant.
