Keep in mind, that Rust backwards compatibility don't extend to some cases. If an unsoundness error happens, future versions WILL break backwards compatibility.

- kzrdude 5y agoThis whole thread desperately needs more information about the actual error. Firefox doesn't use stable Rust (it enables experimental features), so from my viewpoint there is no bug here until more facts are on the table.
- atq2119 5y agoPart of the problem seems to be that Firefox goes out of its way to hide this use of unstable features. Perhaps that makes this a Firefox bug, but given Firefox's historical relationship with Rust, that's not a good look for the Rust community either.
- jen20 5y agoIt also does not extend to unstable features, which Firefox (the program in question) uses. The whole post is quite ill conceived and makes me reconsider my general trust in the authors' output.
