Even though I stayed away from FF because of it's macos issues, I found myself using it(normal ff) for development. I'm not the only one at work either.
It's a weird angle for a browser to compete from, but I guess it's working.

I regularly watch commits from webkit, chromium, gecko-dev and servo. Webkit is developed almost exclusively by Apple (or more maintained because development is very slow, btw I suspect that Apple will drop webkit as it become too far behind) There are also a few igalia devs and one Sony dev + one Gmail dev. Chromium is developed by so many people, Google, Microsoft, opera, QT, hardware makers (ARM, Intel, nvidia), s…
Did you ever post your proposal to the mozilla dev mailing as requested by jdm? I'd like to read the discussion but can't find anything in the archives.
No, I didn't because.. I'm too lazy and the site was ugly on Android

What a terrible argument. I really don’t understand how people don’t see the negative effects of browser monoculture. I feel like I’d just be rehashing the same old points :(
Which argument? Firefox is dying, it's a fact, watch the marketshare over time. Were you referring to my proposal on github?

I was, yes.

Sorry but what's your alternative?
I understand that it does not please you (I actually think that mozilla merging with chromium would be a good thing and we disagree on that)
But you can't disagree with my plan? It would mean you have an alternative (you probably don't), or that you wish that the trend continue and that mozilla die (you don't actually wish that)

#105Has there been a significant update to the devtools recently? I've been a devedition user for years, odd to see it on the front page of HN just linking to the homepage..
It's the FF 70 Beta Dev Edition. It was released yesterday.

Google can't even get its own house in order. Working with web brokenness is all to do with Chrome monoculture these days. You have to make crazy workarounds even for electron-based apps.
A monoculture inherently creates fragility and inflexibility without the need to compete or collaborate.
Chrome removing ad blocker functionality is one reason why Mozilla is sorely needed.
Unfortunately, people don't realize that they are the product with Google, and ever more invasive spying will always the norm with them.
Dont drink the Kool-aid.

It's the FF 70 Beta Dev Edition. It was released yesterday.
A link to the release notes would be preferable to the homepage then?

#109Would love to see something like this for Android (Android firefox doesn't have developer tools to save space).
You can turn on usb debugging and attach to it from your computer. Then go to about:debugging to inspect, add breakpoints, etc.

I really wish posts like this, and posts that are just random Wikipedia articles, would have a paragraph (or at least a sentence) from the submitter. Why is this interesting? For Wikipedia articles about people this is doubly important because the title is inevitably just the person's name - unless you already know who that person is there's no hint as to why they are significant.
Disagree. I like the way this system stops submitters giving their potentially half-baked opinions on articles, and adds an element of mystery to things.
While I'm in favour of restricting editorializing, simply posting a link called "Firefox Developer Edition" (the title tag on the linked page) seems to only cause confusion[0][1].
The title of this has since been changed, which causes even more confusion since the comments I linked now make no sense to someone who never saw the original title. I'm not sure if the new title would violate the title guideline or not, but it's certainly a better choice than what was there before.
