Goals

firefox-dev is a mailing list with one explicit goal:

Offer an easy, transparent venue for getting constructive, Firefox-related development work done and providing development status updates.

and some explicit non-goals:

It does not offer community members the chance to post until they get satisfaction about their concerns.
It is not a suitable forum for requesting or offering technical support for users of Firefox
It is not a suitable forum for unsolicited Firefox feature requests or suggestions

Topics related to add-on development in Firefox are best asked on the dev-addons list.

You can subscribe from the mailman info page.

Moderation Policy

firefox-dev is a moderated list:

Participants must abide by Mozilla's Community Participation Guidelines
Anyone can subscribe and read the messages
Anyone can post. By default, posts will be reviewed by a moderator before being sent to the list
A smaller number of contributors will be added to a whitelist, and their postings will go directly to the list without having to first be reviewed by a moderator
Posts which are ranting, venting, and being unnecessarily argumentative may not go to the list

Messages need to abide by two simple rules to be approved by the moderators:

Be nice (in other words, no personal attacks, ranting, etc.)
Be constructive (in other words, no whining, repetition, venting, etc.)

Whitelist membership is subject to temporary or permanent suspension. Abuse or conduct complaints should be sent to <firefox-dev-owner@mozilla.org> or <inclusion@mozilla.com>.

This policy is expected to evolve at the discretion of the list-owner (<firefox-dev-owner@mozilla.org>).

Firefox Quantum: Towards a next-gen browser

Developer Edition now includes “Quantum CSS,” an entirely new CSS engine written in Rust and based on the Servo parallel browser engine project. Additionally, the “Quantum Flow” team tracked down and fixed 369 performance bugs in Firefox, with a special focus on responsiveness and UI interactions. Lastly, the “Quantum DOM” project began overhauling how Firefox prioritizes work, responding more quickly to events like user input while delaying less urgent computations until the browser is idle.

The result? Compared to Firefox six months ago, today’s Developer Edition is twice as fast on benchmarks like Speedometer 2.0 that simulate the real-world performance of modern web applications.

Furthermore, Firefox is 64-bit and multi-process by default, and Firefox’s unique architecture allows it to take advantage of modern, multi-core processors while still respecting your available RAM. Meanwhile, the “Quantum Compositor” project significantly reduced crashes caused by buggy graphics drivers.

Photon: Firefox’s new UI

To complement Quantum, the Photon team rebuilt Firefox’s interface to be faster and more modern:

You’ll hear more about Photon in November, but highlights include redesigned menus, square tabs, and a new “Library” button that acts as a single place for your bookmarks, downloads, history, etc. By default, Photon combines the search and URL bars into a single widget, but the old style is only a preference away.

The “Activity Stream” project redesigned the New Tab Page to feature highlights from your recent history and bookmarks, as well as recommendations from Pocket. Of course, each of these content blocks are optional, and add-ons can completely replace the new tab page to create entirely different experiences.

We also refreshed form handling in Firefox, adding a brand new autofill feature and implementing built-in widgets for <input type=date> and <input type=time> elements.

Lastly, Firefox’s preferences were completely redesigned and are now searchable.

DevTools in 57: Redesigned and better than ever

Firefox Quantum: Developer Edition also includes a ton of refined, redesigned, and brand new developer tools.

A few highlights:

The Console, Debugger, and Network tabs are now implemented using standard web technologies, including React and Redux, as part of our “devtools.html” effort.
The Inspector gained tons of new features for working with CSS Grid, CSS Variables, toggling classes on elements, etc.
The Console now supports grouping messages and expanding / inspecting objects in-line.
The Debugger offers completely new ways to search, navigate, and debug projects.

And that’s not all. To read in greater depth about what’s new in Firefox Developer Tools, check out Developer Edition Devtools Update.

Project Quantum: There’s more to come

Today’s release isa major milestone in Project Quantum, but we’re not done. Future releases of Firefox will include Quantum Render, a brand new, GPU-optimized rendering pipeline based on Servo’s WebRender project, and Quantum DOM Scheduler, a new technique that ensures that tabs in the background can’t slow down your active tabs.
