As for why e10s is not enabled: It is being slowly rolled out to many users, and each new version of Firefox enables it for more users. It is a huge change to the browser, so Mozilla is being very cautious with the transition.

I think the problem with webpack isn't the websockets, but that the devtools have a hard time dealing with large JS files, and especially large JS source maps. Changing the sourcemap option in webpack has helped avoiding hanging for me

Does anyone know if Servo has any unsafe Rust code?

Hey, thanks for the headsup. We had an old component that we used as a fallback for certain kinds of videos that was always active. It was a legacy component that just got forgotten. I removed the Flash fallback about half an hour ago, so t

Many "stealth" techniques actually make you more trackable on the web. The person wearing a mask is easy to track in a crowd.

The benefit is that this is built in to the browser, meaning more users will use it. If you want the extra protection of Ghostery, then by all means, go for it. This is easier for other users.

"The next version" is already out. We moved away from the ZK sync a while ago, and use a much more user friendly model now.

The only public numbers are from the the previous Google search deal (the one from 3 years ago). It will be a long time until the details of this new deal are public. In the mean time I (as a Mozilla employee) can say that all of the option

Yahoo will only respect DNT for Firefox users. This is because DNT was essentially ruined after Microsoft turned DNT on by default in IE. Since it didn't represent an explicit user choice, it carried much less weight. It is an explicit

Why does this make you less likely to use Firefox? The default search engine is just that: the default. You can change it to something else, and always have been able to. If you care enough to know what search engine you use, you should be

Mozilla's deal with Google ran it's course. Instead of inking a new deal with Google, Mozilla decided to go with another option.

Pre-release versions (Beta, Aurrora, Nightly) on Android have been running experiments with Yahoo for a while.

For at least Loopy, the generator works by generating a full puzzle with all hints, and then removing hints one at a time until the solver can't solve the puzzle. So the complexity of the puzzles that can be generated are dependent on

This phone is designed to be a superset of the hardware of other FirefoxOS phones. In theory, any hardware feature on another phone will also be found on this phone. Additionally, this phone has features like the ability to artificially lim

I was curious about this, so I checked: zsh will preserve completions if you `alias g=git`.

Because the version of Firefox increments by one every 6 weeks, and whatever features are ready get included. This is a over simplification of the process. For more info you can read this: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Ma

Nit: If we eradicate timezones, lets also get rid of this am/pm nonsense. New York wouldn't start at 1am, they would start at 1h00 (or 01:00, or 01h00, or however you want to notate it).
