    Hopefully you filed bugs for the issues you encountered? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/e...

    Yeah, because it sure worked out for Ellen Pao.

    Wow, brave enough to attach your name too.

    Have you filed a bug?

  5. Re:Chrome needs load tabs on demand. on With Community Help, Chrome Could Support Side Tabs Extension · · Score: 1

    There's a little bit of overhead for each blank tab. You can see it in about:memory if you're interested.

  6. Re:Stop making a once slim browser fat! on Firefox 35 Arrives With MP4 Playback On Mac, Android Download Manager Support · · Score: 1

    It's been answered before. A lot more than you think assuming you want to be able to hire competitively.

  7. Re:Stop making a once slim browser fat! on Firefox 35 Arrives With MP4 Playback On Mac, Android Download Manager Support · · Score: 1

    You do realize that Mozilla is vastly smaller than every other major browser vendor except for maybe Opera (which as someone else said, is just rebadged chromium anyway these days)?

  8. Re:stick with 34 or esr on Firefox 35 Arrives With MP4 Playback On Mac, Android Download Manager Support · · Score: 1

    FWIW, multiprocess isn't shipping with 36. It hasn't even migrated off the nightly channel at this point. That said, Win64 builds are.

  9. Re:More bloat, less marketshare on Firefox 33 Arrives With OpenH264 Support · · Score: 1

    Other than being a fork of Gecko 24 (released over a year ago) and no plans to pick up anything newer, yeah, it's great.

    In case anybody's wondering, Firefox 28 will be shipping with VP9 support.

    I need a couple for an enclosed fixture (worried about heat) and I need a wide lamp for the living room (bright as possible, mostly enclosed fixture).

    Any recommendations on who uses the best designs?

  15. Re:Mozilla can't even do math in PDF on A MathML Progress Report: More Light Than Shadow · · Score: 2

    After six months, zero progress on fixing it.

    According to the bug, it was fixed in an upstream pull request yesterday. Given the usual rate at which upstream pdf.js updates are landed for downstream Firefox, it's very likely the fix will be in Firefox 28. Of course, you can confirm it's fixed in a development build of pdf.js whenever you want: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js#browser-extensions

  16. Re:What about Opera? on Chrome Will End XP Support in 2015; Firefox Has No Plans To Stop · · Score: 1

    Given that Opera is switching to Blink, I would assume that their support will end when Chrome's does.

    Meh, I'm holding out for Linux 95 personally.

    Cows, Pigs, Wars, and Witches would argue that it was due to the particular energy and resource requirements required to raise pigs that would be difficult to come by in a nomadic desert society vs. sheep, goats, etc.

  21. Re:Will Googorola sue them? on Mozilla To Support H.264 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Exactly, which is also why they brought up Windows XP, which does not have a built-in H.264 decoder.

  22. Re:I think it's more accurate to say... on Mozilla Partners Up With LG To Combat Apple and Google · · Score: 1

    Flash support should arrive with version 13 if they end up shipping with the Native UI enabled as is currently the plan.

    Your opinion would probably be different if other browsers (or software projects in general) shared their full bug fix list between every release.

    Not an insider, just a community member who reads a lot of bugs :-). Windows builds are done on MSVC 2005 with profile guided optimization enabled. Mac and Linux builds are done with GCC 4.2 also with PGO enabled. No clue about AMD CPUs, though, sorry. First I've ever heard of someone having problems like that.
