  • Eclipse

I blogged 10 mini-video tutorials about developing Fennec with Eclipse at http://www.ncalexander.net/blog/2014/03/24/eclipse-mini-tutorials/

  • Firefox Accounts

Diving deep into the weeds that need trimming in order for us to rev our on-disk Account storage formats, a pre-requisite for bug 975625. Plan is to re-work the Android Account types for all Fennec packages in order to prevent cross-package shenanigans. This will allow both the Beta and Release packages to sync at the same time (which hasn't been supported up to now) at the cost of requiring both packages to set up Sync. (For perspective: we believe we have a handful of users with multiple packages installed and in active use. The vast majority of our userbase won't notice a difference.)
