I hope that both Firefox and Chrome continue to keep the build and tests running on MSVC. It would suck if for example we can't build Firefox with MSVC. Will the Firefox team publish builds of Firefox from both MSVC and Clang with symbols so we can profile ourselves and compare which is faster for the webpages we use? _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
