I filled in the #Mozilla survey and you should too. The sad thing is that of you like #Firefox and want them to focus on making a good browser instead of #AI bs, then like me you will need to select “Other” and write it in.

In today's #Firefox bugs that require some thought. getenv() / setenv() aren't thread-safe but a bunch of libraries use them anyway. Boom.

We have to fix that but we can't change the libraries. How do we do it? By abusing the linking order and slotting our own thread-safe getenv() before libc's one.

So far so good.

Except that on older versions of Android we use our own linker to work around issues in the system one. And our linker wants to call getenv() too. Boom again.

To celebrate Firefox's 20th birthday, please check out this site which has a nice video and a great article about one of the contributor teams.

Volunteer contributor Mozillians have been writing code, localising and providing user support for many years so I could think of no better way to mark this milestone than by spending some time today answering support questions.

Thank you to all volunteers that are helping make the web a better place for everyone.

Dear Firefox,

what makes you think I'm interested in "Trending Google searches"?

You have one (admittedly not simple, so why don't you focus on that) job: Fetch the website I told you to fetch and display it to me.
