“Overall then, the ZTE Open with Firefox is an interesting first look at the potential of Firefox OS. It’s not the world’s most amazing phone by a long shot, but I would never bet against the open web and with that at the core of Firefox OS, the operating system definitely has a chance to be successful in the long run.” – Frederic Lardinois, TechCrunch

Automation & Tools

The refactored XPCShell harness that supports parallel runs has landed (bug 887054). This means that if you update your tree and run |mach xpcshell-test|, you will be running XPCShell tests in parallel. It is not yet enabled in automation (TBPL), ironing out some intermittent failures that seem to only happen there.

Updated the docs for httpd.js – please use dynamic ports as much as possible.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Httpd.js/HTTP_server_for_unit_tests#Using_the_server

If you *have* to write a test that cannot be run in parallel, use the new |run-sequential| annotation.
