And not all of us at Mozilla actually work on Firefox. I don't know the number but we work on a lot of different things.

I really don't like how this app uses its own typography for the UI. Including wobbling bouncy menus. It just doesn't do it for me. I prefer consistency with other apps that I use.

Anything we can improve in Firefox for iOS to make that a better experience? Private Search Shortcuts?

Yes. Also there is ZERO data sharing between Firefox and Safari. Both apps run sandboxed and cannot see eachothers data. Both have their own unique and private bookmark, history, cookie, password management.

We are a real and unique browser. Not a Safari skin. There is no such thing as a Safari skin. Instead we use a low level component called the WKWebView, which is a bare-bones minimal API to 'show web pages'. On top of that we have

Give it some time. After a few more download we will bubble up the search results.

The Safari network stack is actually pretty good. It has good SSL/TLS support and does SPDY pretty well.

There are always blockers. UIWebView has blockers and WKWebView has blockers.

The choice here is not to be 'brutal honest' vs 'professional liar'. The choice here is between a 'honest civil discussion' and a 'crazy shout fest'. Linus is a smart guy. He can also count to 10, wal

Isn't the enforcement done at runtime? I remember testing this and the mprotect() call was simply giving me a EPERM back or so.

We will do a global release soon.

That looks pretty official to me.

Firefox on iOS, eh?

The point about content blockers working in apps like Chrome and ESPN is wrong. Only Safari and the new SafariWebBiewController.

How do you deal with offline support? If I'm not connected and I want to read an article, where do I go? Can't open the website. Did you run metrics to find out how many people are going to miss offline?

I think that should read "Only one third of emails are end-to-end encrypted".

As a developer, you can absolutely grab the code and run the app on your own own devices. However, there are a few manual steps that you need to take before this works. If you want to build the v1.0 app with Xcode 6, then use these instruct

What kind of extensions would you like to use on iOS. Can you give some concrete examples of things (either existing or wishes) you would like to see?

by st3fan 11y ago
We have iOS platform support (in progress) in the main (gecko) tree now actually. If anyone is interested in putting a WKWebView compatible API on top of that, please fork the project and submit a patch. Open source! Hack. Mix. Burn! :-)

First release. Let us know what kind of features are important to you.

Someone should break this sucker open and find out what else is in there. Microphone was a guess actually. But I would place a bet on it that it is there.

It is a spy device to peek inside your home and your internet usage to 'improve' the quality of ads that you see. The fact that it has sensors scares me. Sure they can adjust the brightness of that ring with the ambient sensor. Wh
