It&#8217;s taken longer than it should have, but after a lot of discussion and experimentation with different tools and forums, we&#8217;ve finally come to a conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>In retrospect the decision was obvious; hindsight is like that. But here it is; if we want everyone in the community to be a part of making Firefox great, then we should be where the community is: <a href=\"https:\/\/discourse.mozilla-community.org\/c\/firefox-development\/\">part of the Mozilla Community Discourse forum<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Things are a bit thin on the ground there now; I&#8217;ll be migrating over some questions and answers from other forums to stock that pond shortly. In the meantime if you&#8217;re new to Discourse it&#8217;s a very civilized piece of forum software. You can keep track of discussions happening there by logging in and taking a look in the upper right-hand corner, where you&#8217;ll see &#8220;Watching&#8221;, &#8220;Tracking&#8221;, &#8220;Normal&#8221; and &#8220;Muted&#8221;. Set that to &#8220;Watching&#8221;, and you&#8217;ll get a notification when a new topic comes up for discussion. Set it to &#8220;Tracking&#8221;, and you&#8217;ll also get a note when you&#8217;re called out by name. You can also watch or track individual threads, which is a nice touch.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if you&#8217;re a fan of syndicated feeds you can grab an Atom feed as follows:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/discourse.mozilla-community.org\/c\/firefox-development.rss\">https:\/\/discourse.mozilla-community.org\/c\/firefox-development.rss<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ll join us in helping build Firefox into everything it can be, the best browser in the world and the cornerstone of a free, open and participatory Web. And as always, if you&#8217;ve got questions about that, please <a href=\"mailto:mhoye@mozilla.com\">email me directly.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thank you, <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; mhoye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve been looking for the right home for Firefox browser development Q&#038;A for a while now.
