In the case of desktop and Android, the user can get Mozilla-built Firefox even if the user is running self-compiled kernel/drivers. -- Henri Sivonen [email protected] http://hsivonen.iki.fi/ _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
