absolutely nothing. The console displays only some nunjucks warning - is this 
relevant?

"[nunjucks] Warning: the "default" filter was used without specifying the type 
of comparison. 2.0 changed the default behavior from boolean (val ? val : def) 
to strictly undefined, so you should make sure that doesn't break anything. Be 
explicit about this to make this warning go away, or wait until 2.1. See

works ... slightly unintuitive behaviour as howering over the symbols doesn't 
show
any indication it is clickable.

DXR problem?

2016-07-05 Thread Richard Z
Hi,

tried dxr as replacement for lxr yesterday and today and it
does not seem to work for me.
Whatever I type into the searchbox the results is just an
empty "This page was generated by DXR ."?

https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=voice=true

Displaying source like 
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/modules/Prompt.jsm
works but does not provide any xref links??

cool.

Btw - is there any tool to do code search in addons that are published
on AMO and allow source viewing?

here is the problem. Firefox has a different userbase than chrome.
In my perceprion it is people who are cautious, prefer stable interfaces, 
not attracted to blingbling and more focused on stability, privacy and 
security.

Much of the blingbling features which some developers die for are
a plain nuisance for a significant share of users.
It took 4 years to fix the autoplay bug at least partially?
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659285

This is what is driving away users.

Firefox won't win the blingbling race with Google and Co, maybe if it
focuses on its traditional userbase and their demands it would do 
better.
