Right, I think it's pretty close to parity! I vaguely recall seeing some odd API that wasn't supported in Fenix that was in Fennec, but they're pretty rare. Fairly sure you could a…

(Also a former Mozilla developer, worked Fennec and Fenix) I think a more nuanced perspective here is that roughly 80% of the work was done, and the remaining 20% require significa…

Senior at a lot of the larger companies I've interacted with is often a kind of a "terminal level", meaning that you're not expected to rise above it, and can comfortably spend mos…

Jumping into a project with a truly world-class team is a very humbling experience, and certainly something to seek out in one's career!

When I explain various aspects of concurrency and multi-threaded programming to non-programmers, using analogy of people doing some tasks really helps. I've picked this up from Fey…

I use passpack to generate/store passwords, remember them in Firefox, and let Firefox Sync get them onto my different devices. Works pretty well! My host of devices includes multip…

We also finally turned on "offline cache" support in Firefox For Android (for 50+ releases) - if you have a page in your cache, and you're attempting to load that page while offlin…

Can you expand on "Firefox completely broke security if Sync"? Do you have a specific incident in mind, or an architectural change, or..?

Having spent a few years in KW, I have a feeling it might be difficult to convince people to move there.

We're working on a fix, it should re-appear at some point soon (hopefully!).

Thinkpad W541 (i7, 32gb RAM, SSD), running Fedora, often connected to an external monitor, mouse and keyboard. For travel, I use Thinkpad X1 Carbon (3rd gen), also running Fedora. …

I'm pretty sure I've read exact same comments back when oink shut down. Very sad indeed.

Firefox's built-in reading mode was great in this particular case. That page is pretty unusable otherwise :/

> It might be a requirement for non-techies but no-one surely clicks the back button or drags the scroll bar, at least no power user does. IIRC, back button is one of the most used…

Curious to see this. At my "just failed" startup, our first product was a booking app targeted at tattoo studios. It was a hard niche to crack for a variety of reasons, and in retr…

Hard to remember exact details, but it was a bit "grey hat". Exploits of a foolish youth!

316666. Haven't used it in many years. Obtaining that number was fun, as well :)

Here are some of my absolute favourites: - Spectacle, for easily tiling windows http://spectacleapp.com/ - TotalTerminal, for globally accessible, full-width, semitransparent, slid…

Check out TotalTerminal as well. For me its global, full width visor + tabs became THE way to use the Terminal.

Lots of mountain biking and hiking. Heading out to local mountains tomorrow with SO to hit the trails and hike around a bit. I have a long list of books that I'd like to read, so I…

I personally don't mind creating an account for a service I find valuable. Especially if it's going to be dealing with money. In that case, I would rather create a dedicated accoun…

Looks good guys! Congratulations to founders on going live with the site! I'd love to try this out, but a facebook login wall is preventing me from doing so. I personally don't hav…

No offense, but you sound like a broken western propaganda record. Having been born in USSR, I know a lot of highly educated people that grew up, went to universities, and built va…
