Firefox Core Engineering

Purpose

Quoting the Platform/UI Team: "The Platform teams and Firefox teams are co-dependent, but oftentimes priorities between the two groups do not line up perfectly. If Platform has a goal to ship some new feature that requires UI, and the Firefox team has no cycles to help develop the UX or UI, then it that feature will often languish." This can happen in the opposite direction too, with Firefox needing Platform support for a feature that doesn't line up with current priorities.

The purpose of this team is to address needs that fall between Firefox and Platform, with an emphasis (currently) on improving stability, quality, and performance supported by data.

This team grew out of, in part, the Performance Engineering team, and as such owns that associated infrastructure – some performance-related dashboards on telemetry.mozilla.org, the symbolication server, and more.
