Voilà Firefox 1.5 est sorti et il apporte un peu d'innovation au Oueb, de la vitesse quand a l'affichage des pages. Mais depuis la sortie de Ff, je ne peux plus l'utiliser à cause du bug 318253. C'est vraiment trop chiant de confirmer le mot de passe du proxy à tout bout de champ. Je n'ai pas non plus envie de passer à une version trunk ni de revenir en arrière. C'est avec ce genre de bug qu'on prend facilement conscience que Ff n'est toujours pas massivement présent dans les entreprises, car si cela avait été le cas, la version n'aurait pas eu ce bug. C'est dommage, car la navigation par onglet, je peux difficilement m'en passer – mais bon en ce moment j'ai pas trop le temps de surfer non plus donc je fais contre mauvaise fortune bon cœur et je me dis que ce bug sera corrigé dans la version 1.5.1 à venir.
I clearly remember, but can't date it. I was working for Mozilla messaging at the time ( momo ), being the QA lead for Thunderbird. It was at the end of one of the Mozilla All-hands, maybe in 2011 or 2012. At one of the ending keynotes, we were introduced to Boot 2 Gecko. A hack that would let US - Mozilla own the platform to run a mobile browser on. At the time, the iPhone was going strong and Google was trying to catch up with Android. MeeGo had been in development at Nokia for a while but was going nowhere even when Intel tried to help. Blackberry was slowly starting to die. In the Silicon Valley everything was about mobile, mobile, mobile and the emerging South Easter Asian market, where people would skip computers and use smartphones to join the internet revolution. We were struggling with Chrome and the massive investment by Google to take market share. Our Firefox port on Android was having loads of issues. We were denied by Apple's policies to be present on iPhones....
