   Just to say thanks! I am 34 and and live in Brazil. The magazine was really expensive here, more than USD 30 per issue but still I got all issues. It helped me make my career path and I still cherish them a lot. Thanks a lot for the hard wo

   Congratulations on awesome tech. Can you confirm the browser still work like this or did they change it to a non-HTML version in recent revisions?

   If you haven't seen the current customization options in Firefox I advise you to check there, you can move all buttons and bars, add new buttons and tailor your UI to your taste. I took a shot while writing this post showing the custom

   Firefox OS does not use Bing. It used Bing a long time ago but all consumer devices are set to Google these days.

   Does anyone has a link comparing Red to REBOL? I was a heavy REBOL user back then and always missed the language. I wonder if Red is a viable substitute...

   I hope that is irony because I can't believe someone is so ignorant of Brazil to be able to say such things and believe they are true. This country went from a colony, to an empire, to a monarchy, to a republic, to military dictatorshi

    You don't need a plugin for that. In Firefox Nightly that is already enabled. You can check this article that shows editing LESS and SASS inside the browser and saving it to the original location on your HD: https://hacks.mo

    Not wanting to change the way you work but the whole responsive design movement and the mobile first approach are king for web development these days. User agent sniffing was always a bad practice and thats why Chrome and friends still need

    This is just a nitpick but this type of headline doesn't tell us anything about carrot or why should we care for its introduction. I love new stuff as much as the next person but can we we change the headline to something like "in

    that speaks more about the architecture and requirements of ChromeOS than about ARM SoCs. For example, I have Firefox OS running pretty well on an APC Paper with specs so modest that they are trumped by most mid-range smartphones these days

    thanks for the reply. I am not looking for all those features. I just want to update status from the command line this way I can use them in my static generator workflow ;-)

    Oh yes, Calibre is the swiss army knife from the digital book world. In this case, I am voting with my wallet to put my money in companies that support open standards. The Lev can use that horrible Adobe DRM or open formats. The Kindle Form

    I come from a different country (Brazil) but I am addicted to eReaders. I had a couple Kindles, they were always rock solid. Page sync was the most useful feature for me because I kept my Kindle in my home and read on the go with a phone. T

    Firefox OS has a lot of developer tools in the device :-) from HUD displays showing things such as memory usage, reflows, repaints and fps to console. Since Firefox OS and Firefox for Android run the same engine its very easy to switch betw

    If you're enjoying Firefox for Android can I persuade you to try Firefox Aurora for Android. Even though I am using Nightly on my Android, I don't recommend going with the emotions of a nightly build. I am asking you to try Aurora

    I think this service is great and I have a question. Have you folks put any thought on allowing custom domains? I am asking because if someone hosts their app with you and, eeris forbid, you go under, they will have a hard time migrating th

    Angry Guys, You're missing the point here. Firefox OS doesn't aim to compete with Android. If you're running Android then you can use the Firefox for Android browser and install the same apps. Firefox OS phones are targeted a
