Can anyone explain to me what the marginal costs are for additional traffic, within Comcast's network? I presume that once you're powering the routers, they consume pretty equivalent power at peak and off-peak times, but maybe tha

Why would this be a bad decision, or make you less likely to use Firefox? Mozilla exists in large part due to the abuses that come with monopolistic control over the Internet. Google is dangerously close to that line. Choosing a different

I suspect many Mozilla engineers are actually cheering this partnership. I certainly am. To wit, disrupting hegemony is how we got our start, and I'm proud to see Mozilla striving for a competitive, open Internet.

Oh, wow, didn't know that Chrome was still 32-bit on Macs. The Linux builds have been 64-bit since early 2009, and Windows went 64-bit earlier this year. Congrats to the Chrome team. :) (FWIW, Firefox has been 64-bit on OS X and Linux

Eh, tip4commit was particularly recalcitrant, but this case is different. Bountysource saw what happened to tip4commit, and instead of burying their head in the ground, is attempting to thoughtfully and respectfully engage with the broader

It's an experiment with WebRTC -- you can start peer-to-peer voice/video calls with it. No accounts or special software needed. Just modern browsers. :)

The release process might help explain it: https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease or, if you're familiar with Chrome's stable / beta / dev / canary channels, it's largely the same model. As far

The WebIDE is currently pretty targeted at mobile web apps, especially on Firefox OS. We want it to be a more generally applicable tool for authoring web content. The Tools Adapter that lets you debug Chrome/Android or Safari/iOS

Hi! Just a heads up that folks from the dev tools team will be monitoring this thread and are on-hand to answer questions. We'll try not to thread sit too much. :) In brief, the Developer Edition is a new release channel for Firefox, r

There are new features (tools adapter, side-by-side profiles, compact theme, developer-friendly default preferences). But what's larger than any of that is the change in Mozilla's policy / conception of the pre-Beta channel.

To be fair, that's also pretty close to exit code semantics on most POSIX systems, where 0 is success and non-zero is failure...

Thank you for following up. I'm just getting up to speed on what the devtools team has been working on, and it should meet with your approval when it's released. The other-ing language is unfortunate, but is hopefully tempered by

Why would any browser vendor have an incentive to remove or restrict developer features in released browsers?

by callahad 12y ago
I'm not sure I see condescension here. Everyone does deserve access to built-in, high-quality tools. And everyone already gets that, with all major browsers. No one is taking away the built in developer tools in Firefox, Chrome, IE

In addition to going through Yoric, the Dev Tools team actively monitors and responds to feature requests on this UserVoice forum: https://ffdevtools.uservoice.com If you have an idea, submit (or upvote) it there. It will get
