Product Development

Firefox Project

You know how I always say that planet firefox has the details? Still does!

• New addons manager landed!
  • People loved it!
    • We backed it out because of a mystery performance regression
      • That turned out to be caused by missing hardware dongles on our test machines!
        • So it'll come back soon!
