The Eideticker project (http://eideticker.mozilla.org) was started almost 4 years ago, in an effort to better measure the performance of Firefox for Android by directly capturing video of the browser performing various actions. It later evolved to encompass testing FirefoxOS performance. It's an

Decreasing quality?

Hi all, I have an anecdote, and was wondering if others can corroborate: it seems to me that Nightly's quality has been getting worse recently (this is on latest OS X, rMBP). I'm specifically talking about the past two to three weeks, where I was on holiday and as such spent less time in Firefox t

TL;DR: returning nsRefPtr/RefPtr from functions is now safer, assuming appropriate compiler support. Go forth and experiment with returning such values, and comment at [4] if you have issues with passing nsRefPtr/RefPtr return values into functions that expect raw pointers. Hi all, People have h

Thank you for the information. Is there some simple, efficient way to detect this case? I already tried "document.body.contains" but this didn't do the trick for me. Or is it better to just ignore this (maybe pretty rare) case and handle "detached trees" just like they would still be connect

The behavior here should be the same whether or not you're using XrayWrappers: If you remove the parent, you'll end up with a detached subtree. You can modify this subtree, but most of the operations (like loading a web page in an iframe) will only matter when the page gets reinserted into the docu
