Anyone use LastPass? It seems like a deal breaker when it comes to Firefox. On my phone, where I really don't want to be typing 16 digit passwords, I can't get it to play nicely with Firefox mobile. If I can get it working, I can really try switching back.
Free and open source alternative to last pass.
Work flawlessly as a Firefox Android/desktop extension or as it's own app in Android.
I'm surprised at the success of Mozilla's PR push for this. It seems the time is right for this. Probably helps that tech sites seem to compete to have an article on every "current" topic.
With all this push for Quantum, I wonder what the extension landscape is like. I’ve heard people complain about FF dropping support for old extension APIs (absolutely no idea if this is true - just murmurs). As a Dev, would now technically be a good time to consider building an extension for Firefox?
I switched to quantum and the only complaint is that I can't use Video Speed Controller on it. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-contro... That application is so useful, everyone I know who has tried it gets used to it and can't live without it.
So you could have a go at porting it to Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Po...

This isn’t there on Blink or WebKit.
I’m not sure how to go about trying to get it looked at.

Maybe, but those 12% (didn't check the numbers, I take your word for it) are much more sensitive about such discrimination. That's IE all over again...
I'd be more sympathetic if there weren't examples of Mozilla explicitly fighting against features supported by the other vendors. The classic example is Web SQL, an immensely useful API that Mozilla fought hard against and successfully lobbied to kill off. Chrome and Safari still support it. So for a wide swath of problems, you can either use WebSQL and drop FF support or hack around with a slurry of third party libr…

youtube's logic selects the codec, not the browser
No, it’s a negotiation wherein the client submits its list of supported protocols and the server chooses between them.
I find something is off with Firefox Quantum, possibly the font rendering and it hurts my eyes. Running Chrome 62 on OSX 10.11.6 and it is fine. I had similar problems with Chrome on Windows after they implemented DirectWrite with anti aliasing.

And since FF supports both, it's YouTube which is choosing the codec, as the8472 wrote.
Just because Firefox technically supports a format doesn't mean it has to disclose that format to external servers for selection.
