Firefox' devtools live in GitHub these days and can be patched without needing to build Firefox. I'm sure they'd welcome contributions from passionate developers. https://github.com/devtools-html

Not a coincidence in my opinion that Mozilla's talking more about revenue diversification lately too.

Stylo has been shipping as part of desktop Firefox since the launch of version 57 last year. And with Firefox for Android since version 60.

FYI, Containers in Firefox make life much better for having multiple Google accounts signed in at the same time.

Only when people decide to fight them. Sadly, many people un-aware of their dubious legality honor them even if they are in fact unenforceable.

Developer Edition builds are based on their current Beta version (Fx63 at this point) and this change just landed on Nightly, which is tracking Fx64.

The article mentions that GCC is still remaining a supported compiler and that there are automated builds in their CI to ensure that it stays working.

Fx63 (on Beta and Developer Edition) is on track to ship with clang-cl as the Windows compiler too.

I got the Win10 update yesterday and didn't have to accept any sort of license first.

In fact, Firefox currently can't build with the latest Visual Studio 2017 release due to internal compiler errors. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1458247

Probably not since Firefox for Android doesn't support multiprocess.

Weird. Maybe try filing a bug to see if someone who works on that feature has any other ideas. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&c...

Did screenshots somehow get disabled? In about:config, check the value of the extensions.screenshots.disabled pref.

On the right-hand side of the location bar, there's a Page actions menu (the 3 dots) which includes taking a screenshot.

The performance.now() change is due to ship to ESR users with the 52.6 release on January 23.

The performance.now() patch changed one line of code, so backporting that shouldn't be hard. The SharedArrayBuffer change is just flipping a pref, so that should be easy as well (assuming it's even supported - isn't Palemoon

More relevant to Firefox than Thunderbird, perhaps, but the advantage to using web technologies for their own front end is that it forces them to eat their own dogfood at least. Given that Mozilla wants the web to win, making sure their pla

I wonder if "process changes" include actually enforcing the already-existing rules around Shield deployments that were outlined on their wiki.

The thing with Brendan happened ~3 years ago now. A lot of the leadership that was there at the time is gone now. How long should Mozilla be punished for that?

Firefox' path to market share growth has to go through mobile. How to get users to switch from preinstalled good-enough Chrome is the tough nut to crack, though.

Don't expect it to work very well, though, given that a lot of the supporting code for legacy addons was already removed from Gecko 57.

One of the recent Lineage nightlies made Google Maps unusable on the M8, so there's that :). OTOH, the fix is landed and due to be in this week's nightly build. I really wish there was a more stable channel to be on, though.
