Just wanted to note that a close-tabs-to-the-right menu entry was recently added in Nightly builds.

I you are talking about rendering speed, you'll be pleased to know that people have been working on multithreaded image decoding. Not sure when it will be available in release, but it is in my Firefox Nightly.

Regarding repaint view, go to about:config, nglayout.debug.paint_flashing to true, and you can catch some repaint problem. Agreed, it is not the most discoverable feature. afaik, we don't have a tool for overdrawing. Hopefully this will cha

As a workaround, you can close and reopen the console to get rid of the object browser. I also use Awesome, and it works for me.

The Web Audio spec is more a user manual than a spec, to be fair. We are implementing the API at the moment, but the spec is so unclear that it is impossible to implement it properly. We have a couple things done and working, though. And ab

Nick, you were absolutely right, and I was wrong. This is a pain, though, but is understandable. I'll ask the right people if we can do something, because I like not copying stuff all over. Or maybe we can we can do a static analyzer to mak

I'll check tomorrow, there is a bunch of gaia folks at the office. You might be right, in which case we need to address that.

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gaia/Shared for the details on how this works. Not having this mechanism would be pretty crappy. See https://github.com/taratatach/FFDoku/blob/erwan/index.html for a third party app that reuses code from sha

Also, yes, it works, see https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/music/i... for instance. This app imports a bunch of code from /shared. Great for code sharing.

Not sure, I am merely a C++ dev :-). Surely people in #gaia on IRC will know how this is handled.

We have added a whole bunch of things in Gecko and Gonk to support Gaia, which is mainly the front-end. WebAPIs are one example, but we have done much more. Good thing is that this improved the rendering engine of Firefox (that uses the sam

You can just include them from your app, those are shared style sheets. Everything in the /shared directory is accessible from third every app. This also includes js helpers. Also, hi :-)

It is dead easy to install Firefox OS on _some_ commonly available Android phones, see [0]. Also, see [1] for the commonly used devices to develop and use Firefox OS with a top notch experience. [0]: https://autonome.wordpress.com/2013/01/

(Mozilla dev here) I can guarantee you that people are working on it. I don't know the specifics, but it's coming along. You can follow the commits here [1]. Of course because it is free software, if you are not afraid to test a early proto

(I'm a Firefox developer that happens to work on HTML5 audio and video). I can reproduce your problem on Firefox 16.0.2 , and this is fixed, at least on our Nightly builds, perhaps before that. But it is certainly embarrassing and should no

To be specific, the rework of the blur algorithm (which is a key part for rendering an element that has a {box,text}-shadow) is bug 509052 [1]. [1]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509052

Yes, we do. I've just reported an issue with this page (a crash), and we are specifically working to improve our blur algorithm (which is use to make the box-shadow in CSS). afaik, it's not a specific position to read the CSS posts that mak

To be fair, shumway has not as many people as Gecko or other big Mozilla projects to do triage and things for the newcomers, the shumway team being minuscule and the project an ongoing effort. If you want to contribute to a Mozilla project,
