Speedier delivery A.k.A auto-update

I THINK The default behaviour should firefox to auto-update invisibly, with a opt-out.

Reason ?

  1. The average user doesn't care about updating (as long as they get newer and fresher
  2. The average user doesnt want to be bothered
  3. We techies aren't the average user
  4. IT departaments aren't the average user
  5. Average user don't want to understand the update process
  6. The average user dont want to be bothered (no error, they really dont)
  7. It will liberate recourses on your end


If needed we can use an LTS (as ubuntu does) so IT departaments can have a secure build and we dont have to suport every one of The releases indefnitly

Develop Mobile Firefox compatible with for Low-end spec (Like memory and resolution)

Many new Mobile devices (Especially on Android) are available in this Low-end segment. And very large number of them are sold in developing markets like India, China, Brazil. Very large audience.

  1. This will also help high end phone as making them work with lower spec also makes them work faster with higher spec phones.
  2. Trim down fats : Keep minimum things in code product. Develop advance features on the top of it.
  3. Tie up with Phone makers (Low end ones are easier :)). Make it default for many, non-geek audience.
