Just Landed: Simple Prefs API – Mozilla Add-ons Community Blog
On November 28, Myk Melez closed pull request 270, which added the new ‘simple-prefs’ module to the Addon SDK. This addition to the SDK’s addon-kit apis is special for a couple of reasons: The ability to add a simple preferences panel to an SDK-based add-on has been a major gap in functionality in the SDK. We’re very happy to be moving forward adding features like this. This code was contributed e
Firefoxは収益の大部分を支えるGoogleとの契約を更新できるのか騒動まとめ
Firefoxを開発しているMozilla Foundationはブラウザ右上の検索ボックスに含まれているGoogleやBing(Microsoft)、Yahooなど各社からロイヤリティーを受け取ることで収益を上げて運営を続けています。しかし、このうち最大の割合（約8割）を占めているGoogleとの契約が2011年11月末で期限切れとなる、そしてその後どうなったのか音沙汰がない、ということでFirefoxの今後を不安視する報道が行われ、それに対する激しい反論も行われ、ちょっとした騒動になりました。 by Clive Rich 発端は12月2日17時40分(PST)のZDNetの記事。 Firefox faces uncertain future as Google deal apparently ends | ZDNet It hasn’t been a good year for Fir
Comparing the efficiency of Chrome’s and Firefox’s automated updates (study) - Pingdom
Two web browsers currently use a rapid release schedule combined with automated updates. Chrome has had it from the start, and Firefox started using it this summer with the introduction of Firefox 5. Both Google and Mozilla release new versions every six weeks. There are some differences between Chrome and Firefox as to how these automated updates work, but essentially the idea is that the browser

This will be a short one: it’s been a fairly quiet week, with mostly fixes for crashes and other small bugs. The one big landing was ObjShrink, by Brian Hackett, which took the size of a JS object down from about 48 bytes (on 32-bit platforms) to 16 bytes. ObjShrink also made shapes (an auxiliary data structure that records object property layouts) smaller. I tested ObjShrink in practice by compa

Help Firefox get incremental GC Bill McCloskey has incremental GC working as a prototype in the larch branch. The current version is probably pretty crashy but does show the pause time improvements on some sites. It would help Bill a lot to get a list of sites that have big GC pauses now in Firefox. He needs sites that will do a lot of GC so he can tune incremental GC to perform well, and also tes
David Mandelin's blog » JS Team Update 11/1
For a while, I was pretty swamped, with not enough time to do a regular team newsletter. And then, I figured I’d have to go back over the past 2 months of activity to sort out everything that happened so I could write a proper giant update. But, I realize that’s way too hard and I’ll never get to it, so instead I’ll just do a brief update as of today: Terrance Cole joined the team to work on GC ef
SpiderMonkey is on a diet – Nicholas Nethercote
One thing I’ve learnt while working for Mozilla is that a web browser can be characterized as a JavaScript execution environment that happens to have some multimedia capabilities. In particular, if you look at Firefox’s about:memory page, the JS engine is very often the component responsible for consuming the most memory. Consider the following snapshot from about:memory of the memory used by a s
