Other news
- My flat flooded due to some bad weather in London, which took out some of the equipment I use to build Waterfox, so I'm trying to get everything repaired ASAP. Luckily the Windows build machine is unharmed!
- Intel's compiler still needs a lot of bug submissions before it can build Firefox again, so I'm testing cross-compiling Firefox for Windows using Clang/Linux and the results look promising.
