Depends on the device and software. At least on my phone's Firefox browser a long-press of a link will bring up a menu that includes the URL (though it can run into space constraints for long URLs).

Huh. When I read that I assumed Blink referred to the <blink> tag, but reading again you might actually be right that it means Google's browser engine. Truly anachronistic indeed.

Firefox Android (and iOS it seems?) actually supports autofill for other apps, one just needs to enable it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/end-of-support-firefox-... (I've used it quite successfully whe

This isn't actually (entirely) true. One of the core technologies of the old extension model, XBL, has been completely ripped out. XBL-defined elements and XBL overlays were how a lot of the old UI customisations functioned, so even i

Macbeth isn't actually being emphasised in that sentence, rather it is using italics to demarcate the title of a work. A music album or movie's name would also appear italicised. (If they've done it right Macbeth should only

The style parts are in Rust, but layout is C++, I believe. servo does have an experimental layout engine (or two? layout 2020?) in Rust, but I don't think that ever reached a point where Mozilla were seriously considering replacing Gec

They are just mirroring Firefox's (and thus Gecko's) own deprecation of XUL in favour of (X)HTML. Firefox's top level windows are now (X)HTML with XUL elements, and XUL specific elements and code paths are gradually being re

Mozilla already tried re-writing the CSS engine in C++ before. They failed. C++ simply wasn't usable for writing a parallel CSS engine. "This top-down structure is ripe for parallelism; however, since styling is a complex proces

Shame they used <s> instead of <del> though, but I'm guessing they are probably just using a CMS with a WYSIWYG editor, so not that surprising.

I notice you moved from asm! to llvm_asm! [0]. Since the commit message doesn't explain why, would you be able to do so here? (Purely for my own curiosity) [0] https://github.com/mcountryman/min-sized-rust-windows

1) Front-end engineers don't compile any Rust or C++ etc. code, instead they use artifact builds which download pre-built binary artifacts from Mozilla's continuous integration builds, and their local builds only "compile&quo

WebViews can't be rendered by anything but system WebView or Chrome WebView, but apps can use something called a Custom Tab instead, which can be provided by the user's default browser, and which Firefox does.

As far as I know, Firefox/Gecko uses clang-format for C++, rustfmt for Rust, and most recently Prettier for JavaScript.

Off-topic, but is anyone aware of many English-language news publications respecting the switch to family given name ordering? The only one I know of is the Economist.

Ah, reviewboard, I remember using that back when Mozilla used it. I quite liked it, was good for interdiffs. Which reminds me, I filed a security bug years ago against it (using the mentioned Splat), and no one seems to have ever noticed&#x

That can only make it check the system certificate store for trusted roots etc, it'd still use NSS for the crypto operations is my understanding.

I miss when Amazon was just a retailer, not a marketplace (or at least when it had the marketplace adequately fenced-off from its own retail). It had a lot more value to me as a consumer then.
