So where are the blog posts about buttery smooth touch interactions on Firefox OS? Where are the blog posts about saving/loading large arraybuffers into indexeddb without it crashing the browser / taking a week and a half on mobile? Because there are asm.js blog posts every other day. I'd love to read about how regular browser stuff is getting leaps and bounds better, but I don't believe that it is.



You are complaining about bugs to fix, in particular typed arrays and indexeddb (I hate typing that). We did fix XHR vs. typed array bug here:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866431

but you have a point about indexxxeedddbbb :-D.

Smooth touch interactions are supported better by Firefox OS with touch events, do you have a particular bug in mind?

Fixing bugs and blogging about them would take all blogging energy for little gain. We fix bugs without enough positive noise, but I think the main thing is to fix bugs.

OTOH, Emscripten/asm.js work (which, silly exaggeration, is not blogged about every other day) is not a bug fix. It's a bigger deal, and it needs explication (especially because some FUD about how it entailed new VMs still lingers in the twittersphere).

Also, we're fastest on Emscripten output due to AOT. That is news, news! I say ;-).
