Resolving file url handling issues
by Yuki S 16 Nov '17

Hi, I'll be brief What is the stance on fixing the issues (pre/post). How optimistic is it that the bug can be fixed by Mozilla in a reasonable amount of time? Is it really a priority (as Mozilla pushes Quantum) when the issue primarily impacts groups like the TPO community who need a proxy shared on a multi-process design (rhetorical maybe), and doesn't impact the (current) target audience. Mozilla already matches donations so I wonder if it would be fair unless this is a bug not originally present in Mozilla's recent e10 re-architecture. The latest TPO could expect to transition to any Quantum code is July 2018, and earliest in March. >From looking at tickets, and comments in the blog, 2 tickets which reference post-workaround issues are 24243, 24136. So I wonder if it would be worth it to fix the original design issue, which might impact TBB users until mid-2018, or wait for Mozilla to (maybe) fix a flaw that primarily impacts TPO community. I do realize it's not a huge priority for core-developers though. Thanks folks ys

Fwd: Intent to require Python 3 to build Firefox 59 and later
by Tom Ritter 13 Nov '17

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gregory Szorc <gps(a)mozilla.com> Date: 10 November 2017 at 17:27 Subject: Intent to require Python 3 to build Firefox 59 and later To: dev-builds <dev-builds(a)lists.mozilla.org>, dev-platform <dev-platform(a)lists.mozilla.org> For reasons outlined at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1388447#c7, we would like to make Python 3 a requirement to build Firefox sometime in the Firefox 59 development cycle. (Firefox 59 will be an ESR release.) The requirement will likely be Python 3.5+. Although I would love to make that 3.6 if possible so we can fully harness modern features and performance. I would love to hear feedback - positive or negative - from downstream packagers and users of various operating systems and distributions about this proposal. Please send comments to dev-builds(a)lists.mozilla.org or leave them on bug 1388447. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform(a)lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

Tor/Mozilla Meeting Notes on tor-in-firefox integration
by isis agora lovecruft 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Hi everyone! Attached are the meeting notes from the video conference call we just had with Mozilla folks to talk about the ongoing project to integrate tor into Firefox's private browsing mode. This mostly concerns the Network and Browser teams, but towards the end the UX team was mentioned a lot as well. Best regards, -- ♥Ⓐ isis agora lovecruft _________________________________________________________ OpenPGP: 4096R/0A6A58A14B5946ABDE18E207A3ADB67A2CDB8B35 Current Keys: https://fyb.patternsinthevoid.net/isis.txt

Hi! From next Monday on we'll meet on 1900 UTC for the weekly Tor Browser meeting. Daylight saving time will then be over in the US as well and we'll stick for roughly the next half year to 1900 UTC on Mondays as our time for weekly status updates and discussions in browser land. The meeting place, #tor-meeting on irc.oftc.net, remains the same, though. See you there, Georg

Inter-team roadmap meeting Fri 3/11 at 1600 UTC
by Georg Koppen 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

Hi all! In case you are interested in coordinating team roadmaps there will be a related meeting tomorrow, Fri 11/3 at 1600 UTC in #tor-meeting. We'll look over all the team roadmaps trying to figure out items other teams may need from the browser folks (and vice versa) so that we can properly plan for the upcoming 6 months at least. Feel free to drop by and help. The roadmaps and the outline of the underlying process can be found on https://storm.torproject.org/shared/BXfGyUltZOzksQ3a5EPqDC8p5Ijm_rsyCupNPJ0… and the pad for asking questions/clarifications etc. is on https://storm.torproject.org/shared/6_vKbNygWaF8WcG6xz3lTW6RWbJzlBdm8ZezRYW… Happy roadmapping, Georg
