Ummm, no, in general those were the devs who weren’t laid off.
(I am a Mozilla employee)
- bigums 6y agoDidn’t the Firefox DevTools team get pretty hard with layoffs?
- dblohm7 6y agoThey did, unfortunately. But the rest of the Firefox group was left mostly intact.
- lloydatkinson 6y agoI consider the Rust based browser engine a core part of that, and they were fired, so my statement isn't incorrect.
- dblohm7 6y agoOrganizationally they were part of the Emerging Technologies Group, not the Firefox Group. And contrary to popular belief, there were no plans to replace Gecko with Servo wholesale, so I don’t really think it is accurate to think of it as “core” to Firefox.
