Firefox Nightly: From ESR to Address Bar – These Weeks in Firefox: Issue 168

Rust Blog ☛ The Rust Programming Language Blog: WebAssembly targets: change in default target-features

The Rust compiler has recently upgraded to using LLVM 19 and this change accompanies some updates to the default set of target features enabled for WebAssembly targets of the Rust compiler. Beta Rust today, which will become Rust 1.82 on 2024-10-17, reflects all of these changes and can be used for testing.

Thunderbird ☛ Mozilla Thunderbird: VIDEO: The Thunderbird Council

The Thunderbird Council is an important part of the Thunderbird story, and one of the main reasons we’re still around. In this month’s office hours, we sat down to chat with one of the very first Thunderbird Council members, Patrick Cloke, and one of the newest, Danny Colin, to discuss what this key group does and offers advice for those thinking about running in future elections.

Next month, we’ll put out a call for questions on social media and on the relevant TopicBox mailing lists for our next Office Hours, which will feature Ryan Sipes, Managing Director of Product at MZLA and Mark Surman, executive director of the Mozilla Foundation!
