Yep! By default, Developer Edition will use a separate profile called "dev-edition-default", while all other channels use a profile called "default"

Memory profiling is a big missing piece, but it's in Nightly right now, and should show up in DevEdition 41 or 42 :)

Developer Edition is a pre-beta version of Firefox (the core code goes from Nightly -> DevEdition -> Beta -> Release, much like Chrome goes from Canary -> Dev -> Beta -> Stable). DevEdition also ships with some more minor

I'm quite fond of of Ingy's git-hub command, https://github.com/ingydotnet/git-hub , which also gives you most of Hub's features, along with much, much more. E.g., the the ability to manage things like a

My thought process: It seemed obvious that fixed-guess strategies couldn't work, both from the proof in the article and from intuition that the inverse of your fixed guesses will always represent a failure case. If a fixed strategy can

Can you please post a bug (with screenshots, list of add-ons installed, and any custom browser css tweaks) to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ and CC :callahad in Bugzilla? Those sorts of fit-and-finish bugs really bother me,

The Firefox debugger should automatically blackbox minified sources. You can also click on the little eye icon in the debugger panel to manually blackbox sources. You can also use the developer toolbar to run a command like `dbg blackbox --

Well, Google more or less tried the same with Dart and has since abandoned that plan in favor of targeting JS as Dart's primary runtime. Then again, the Dart VM never shipped in mainline Chrome, so who knows how a more committed attemp

Potentially just one JIT, right? asm.js is AOT compiled on Firefox.

I hated Reveal.js until I realized that I could press Space to advance, and Shift-Space to move backwards, and it will just Do The Right Thing. Can you go down? Space will go down. Otherwise, Space will go to the right. It re-linearizes the

Not every feature can be completed in a single six-week train, especially one as complex as rewriting huge chunks of a browser that was not initially designed with process separation in mind. :) That said, we should have a go/no-go on

Planning for unreliable alternative exits is one of the fun aspects of cave diving: you virtually always exit by returning to your point of entrance, even if you're nominally closer to another means of egress, since you can't be c

I wonder if this will still have the 250 GB (or is it 350 GB, now?) cap on data transfer? Either way you could blow through the cap in less then 25 minutes.

Actually, this isn't enough. You also want to set --release-channel=beta, otherwise you effectively get a nightly build of the beta tarball (unstable features available) instead of a proper beta channel build of that tarball.
