The trick is that it's not using JS to animate (not setting position manually or even depending on requestAnimationFrame). It's using CSS transitions to let the rendering engine optimize the animation.

It's not really a matter of neglect, it's a matter of finding people who actually want to do this. OS integration is pretty difficult with Firefox's codebase, partially because it's not really a native app. Parts are real (like the titlebar

They don't allow that. My wife tried to add her checking account to a business-related paypal account, but it was already on her personal account so they didn't let her connect it.

I'm curious what you find "hideous". 3.6 -> 4 was a pretty big overhaul, but I think it looks pretty good. I customize a bit (small buttons, get rid of the search box & home button) and I may be baised. I'll say that Firefox isn't p

> I wouldn't be surprised if FF eventually drops the version number thing and just has a 'stable' and 'exciting' branch type system for their users. That's pretty much what we're going for. The version number is still there, but we're p

Are you sure you're not on the beta channel? Coming from Firefox 4, that channel stuff was under the hood. If you used Firefox 4 beta, then you're probably on the beta channel (you can check in about:config looking at app.update.channel)

If you're interested in helping out, best thing to do is stop by the IRC channel and see what we need the most help with (or if you want to start more simple, we can point you at that too). We've been moving pretty quickly in the week since

I'm willing to bet speed was a factor, but the other thing Ryan noted was the API difference. The article on the Register about SpiderNode ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/20/mozilla_moves_node_d... ) mentions that: > Dahl origina
