If there is a better place to ask ad-hoc questions about Gecko, I am happy to go there (and we should make sure the channel is promoted in our docs).
I think different teams have ended up with different IRC channels, as Kris said. Frontend Firefox stuff tends to go in #fx-team, and #content, #jsapi and similar channels each cater to their own "niche", so to speak.
I can see how less usage of IRC can lead to the situation we have now. As long as there is an (open) replacement that is more accepted nowadays I think this is fine, but aside from that I think we should find a way to promote discussing Firefox and Platform issues in the open again.
I am not aware of people discussing Firefox or Platform *engineering* issues in other places, open or otherwise. I am aware of incidental non-engineering folks using Slack for bugreporting (unsurprisingly, a lot of those questions get answered with "file a bug in bugzilla"), but it seems to me that's not what you're talking about...
