Doing exactly this but from time to time I move my old desktop folders in a backup folder with a date. But now I have so many in there with duplicate files. I'm sure I'd win a lot of disk space by merging/deduping those folde

Not all websites are built the same, some might require more than just five lines of CSS. Add to that QA to make sure it works. And purchasing the device(s) to test that it really looks fine (plus setting up remote debugging if it needs adj

Yes. When submitting an extension on the Firefox Add-Ons store, the extension is validated by a human (you need to provide the source and steps to build the extension if the submitted package contains minified code). It can be frustrating s
