Hello, SUMO Nation!
Eeeek! It’s Friday the 13th – now you know why we had to launch Firefox for iOS on the 12th ;-) Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to the launch in one of the many possible ways, everywhere around the world – you made it great!
Welcome, new contributors!
Last SUMO Community meeting
- You can read the notes here and see the video on our YouTube channel.
Reminder: the next SUMO Community meeting…
- …is going to take place on Monday, 16th of November. Join us!
- If you want to add a discussion topic to upcoming the live meeting agenda:
- Start a thread in the Community Forums, so that everyone in the community can see what will be discussed and voice their opinion here before Monday (this will make it easier to have an efficient meeting).
- Please do so as soon as you can before the meeting, so that people have time to read, think, and reply (and also add it to the agenda).

Localization
- Huge thanks to everyone who contributed their time and skills to localizing articles in the last week – there was a lot of work, not only because of the launch.
- Read all about Firefox for iOS updates and action items.
- Reminder: Let’s talk about: KB revisions, notifications, launches.
Firefox
- for Android
- for Desktop
- Tab groups and themes are going to be removed in future versions of Firefox due to their relatively low popularity among the users.
- One other thing that is going away is the about:preferences setting that allowed reverting to the old version of the search bar.
- for iOS
- Ah, nothing big to see here, move along ;-) Also, first iOS questions coming into the forums! Jump into the discussion about this release here.
- Firefox OS
- No news for now, but stay tuned for more exciting stuff in the near future!
That’s it for today! Do stay lucky and watch out for black cats crossing your path. We will see you all next week. Until then – take it easy!
