Mozilla Celebrates 10 Years of Firefox


Ten years flies by when you're constantly innovating, especially on the Web, where Mozilla's Firefox browser has now been available for a decade.
When Firefox 1.0 first hit the Internet on November 9, 2004, it was a very different online world, with Internet Explorer holding on to a seemingly insurmountable 90-plus percent market share. But with a brand-new design having launched last spring, a powerful 3D-gaming capable architecture underneath with asm.js/Emscripten, and a new, simpler syncing system added in just the past year, Firefox isn't slowing down.


#FX10!

New developer features! Such as: things that literally already existed in firefox, and including things that Chrome already has better UI for.

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

With love,

I think it's them slightly altering the devtools and calling it a new product.

so complete that they hide the checkbox to enable it on every channel except nightly!

edit: the about :config entry to enable it manually doesn't even seem to work on Firefox Developer Edition

yes and guess what firefox still doesn't really "have it" because e10s is literally "two process" (chrome and content)

the core for real multiprocess is there tho since firefox os (lol) has a process per app

is this just the aurura channel? it says that in the about, so that means its the unstablest version and they want you to develop the web when they are likely to have introduced a bug in regular functionality? this is the reason i stopped using chrome beta-- they hosed up normal css padding and i spent ages trying to figure out what i did wrong. but now chrome introduces bugs into stable so i guess thats what the internet is evolving toward
