Firefox OS Source Leaked!!!
The complete, commented source code for Mozilla's new Firefox OS effort has been leaked!! In what can only be a massive oversight on Mozilla's part, the holy trinity of Firefox OS (codenamed Boot2Gecko), Gonk (the Linux kernel), Gecko (the renderer), and Gaia (the HTML5 / CSS / JavaScript) have been posted on GitHub via Mozilla's top secret B2G account, along with several other vital code components for Firefox OS. Be sure to go grab the source code as quickly as possible before Mozilla recognizes their mistake! Go, quickly!
This is an April Fools joke. Firefox OS has been open source from day one!
![7 Essential JavaScript Functions]()
I remember the early days of JavaScript where you needed a simple function for just about everything because the browser vendors implemented features differently, and not just edge features, basic features, like addEventListener and attachEvent. Times have changed but there are still a few functions each developer should...
![Serving Fonts from CDN]()
For maximum performance, we all know we must put our assets on CDN (another domain). Along with those assets are custom web fonts. Unfortunately custom web fonts via CDN (or any cross-domain font request) don't work in Firefox or Internet Explorer (correctly so, by spec) though...
![GitHub-Style Sliding Links]()
GitHub seems to change a lot but not really change at all, if that makes any sense; the updates come often but are always fairly small. I spotted one of the most recent updates on the pull request page. Links to long branch...
![LightFace: Facebook Lightbox for MooTools]()
One of the web components I've always loved has been Facebook's modal dialog. This "lightbox" isn't like others: no dark overlay, no obnoxious animating to size, and it doesn't try to do "too much." With Facebook's dialog in mind, I've created LightFace: a Facebook lightbox...
Happy April David!
Clever! You had me for a few moments there…
That’s a Geek April Fool :D
A great April Fool :D
A Great April Fool Day to all :-)
OMG! Thanks for telling! I most hurry and grab it XD… wait I’m not a mobile factory nor a divolapar, just a FFOS fan :x
Too obvious for today. A press release from Mozilla announcing its release might have been more convincing…maybe…but not today. ;)
LOL Happy April Fool to you David xD
oops, nice joke :)
Very clever, i almost believed! :)
Lol well this is late, but I was Googling Firefox OS related-stuff and saw this headline. I clicked it only to begin making fun of whoever wrote this for stupidity, but clearly you knew what you were talking about the whole time :DD
I was looking for the source. Googled it and came here. Great informative post and thanks for the link :-)
Really ppl…Firefox OS, like all Mozilla products, is open source. lol. [not directed to the author, who obviously knew this]. Thanks for the link though.
As a Open Source fan i cant wait to grab it. Thanks for sharing!
