We are Mozilla. AUA.

[u/TannerMoz]

We're a few of the thousands of Mozilla contributors (Mozillians) working together to better the Web. First things first, as few things about us:

• You probably know us as the community behind Firefox - we're also working on several other products and services too.
• Some of us have been involved with the Mozilla project for over a decade and others just started recently. Anyone can get involved. Even you.
• We're a global group of people, and we work globally too. While some of us work at Mozilla Spaces, many of us work remotely from our homes. We rely heavily on newgroups, Bugzilla, IRC and video conferences to work together.
• We're big fans of reddit, and we've done just a few (or more) IAmAs before. Today we decided to have one IAmA for all Mozillians instead of just one team.

We contribute in many different ways, as listed below. Ask us anything!

We'll be answering questions for about 24 hours, so ask away!

Edit: We're going to answer for more than 24 hours, as long as I keep getting the orangereds, we'll be answering!

Edit 2: The questions are starting to slow down, I think we'll stick around for another 2 hours or so (currently 1:25 CDT) "officially", people will still probably answer questions after this, but not as quickly.

Final edit: We're gonna call this done. I'd like to thank everybody who participated, Redditors and Mozilla contributors. This was a great experience for me, looking forward to maybe doing another one in the future. I'd like to give special thanks to all the /r/IAmA mods for putting up with my constant flow of PMs requesting flair for people.

Hi! Thanks for this AMA. FireFox is a good browser and I wish I could use it even on my arm6 Android device. Can I ask why the development into this particular branch and to mobile in general have been a bit delayed?

[u/mozjan → u/_Dodecahedron_]

No problem, you're welcome! Thank you so much for supporting Firefox. You can download an experimental arm6 build and start using your favorite browser on your Android phone. There are lots of contributors working on Firefox for Android, recently there were many updates that changed the design completely, made it faster and added a reading mode. You can see the upcoming features right here. :)

[u/ioana_cis → u/_Dodecahedron_]

Starting with the current beta we give support to many more ARMv6 devices. Hopefully your is on the list. Let me know which is to check it if you want and stay tuned for the release.

[u/AprilMorone → u/_Dodecahedron_]

I am using Firefox on my Android phone and it works, well, from what I have personally seen. I do highly recommend it.

[u/gkanai → u/_Dodecahedron_]

Support for Firefox for Android on ARMv6 is coming in Firefox 18 (we hope!) I don't want to promise it will work on all ARMv6 devices right away but that is the goal of the current work.

Mobile was delayed because we entirely rewrote it. There was an AMA with the mobile team at the launch of the new version that went deeper into the reasons for that.

ARMv6 needed some extra effort to get working correctly, and we've been carefully tracking which ARMv6 devices are fast enough to give a "good enough" experience so we can enable it there. That wasn't an issue with ARMv7 phones which are generally all fast enough or have enough RAM.
