Firefox Source Code Now Hosted On GitHub

([Mozilla] 61 Minutes Ago Firefox On GitHub)


The Mozilla Firefox source code is now officially available on GitHub as they work to transition from their hg.mozilla.org servers.

Mozilla Firefox recently migrated its canonical home from the Mozilla.org servers to now being on GitHub. This change is just in relation to the official source repository and doesn't affect the bug/issue tracking, continuous integration (CI), or other features.

The Firefox Mercurial servers are still around for now at least and being synced from GitHub. So in the immediate term no major workflow changes but for those interested you can find the Firefox sources via [1]mozilla-firefox/firefox on GitHub .

Slashdot Effect Vaporizes Ganymede
-- Submitted by Dave Finton

In one of the more bizarre consequences of the infamous "Slashdot Effect",
Ganymede, the largest moon in our solar system, was completely and utterly
destroyed when CmdrTaco posted an article about the Hubble Space
Telescope's latest round of images and discoveries.

"It all started when we put up some more info on our web page about
Jupiter and Ganymede," said one NASA guy whom we believe may be in charge
of something. "CmdrTaco got wind of it, and posted it on his site."

According to observers, the webserver promptly exploded thereafter,
damaging the nearby remote control system used to aim and focus the
Hubble's cameras from the ground.

"All of the sudden our controls went wacky!" said one engineer. "The
Hubble then started shooting these death rays all over the universe. One
of those rays hit Ganymede, and *POOF*. There it went! We were all like,
'COOOOOL! Let's aim it something else!'"
