Geolocation and the Mac
|
| |
In Bug 874587, we are considering using Core Location as the default geolocation provider on the Mac. This would replace the use of the NetworkGeolocationProvider (that currently points to GLS). After code reviews, we plan to enable this on Nightly and see how it goes.
On Android, we already due use the system location provider and not the... more »

of the work has been cleaning up the code and the data structures
involved in Session Restore both to give us some maneuverability and to
improve the chances of catching refactoring errors.... more »

Extending the text-overflow/overflow property to support fading out
|
| |
The design for the Australis theme refresh calls for tab text that needs to be truncated to be faded out instead of using an ellipsis. This fade should be a fixed width (say 2em) regardless of the width of the tab, and apparently needs to work over non-solid color backgrounds (so a right-aligned <div> over the top... more »

pymake required to build on Windows
|
| |
Bug 828317 just landed and the build system now enforces using pymake (not GNU make) to build on Windows. If you attempt to use GNU make, it will complain loudly and tell you how to invoke pymake.
The short version of history is that pymake is faster and more stable than GNU make on Windows because it can actually build with multiple... more »

new prefs for talos
|
| |
Last week while investigating a crash on android which only happened in the reftest and talos harness (not in the mochitest harness), we compared the preferences. We found in mochitest we set a bunch of preferences to disable background network access (intentionally designed to 404 for mochitest):... more »

Modules for workers
|
| |
Hi everyone,
As part of the ongoing effort to make (Chrome) Workers useful for
platform refactorings, we have been working on a lightweight module
loader for workers (bug 872421). This loader implements a minimal

Example:
// Setup the loader. We need this once per worker.... more »

new build-time defines for controlling when features ship
|
| |
...
My understanding of this is that we were going to limit use of all of these options to control preference-flipping. In particular I'm worried about build bustage that is only discovered at channel-uplift time.

As I remember our discussion about this, use of this flag needs explicit... more »
