For a long time Firefox Desktop development has supported both Mercurial and Git users. This dual SCM requirement places a significant burden on teams which are already stretched thin in parts. We have made the decision to move Firefox development to Git.

  • We will continue to use Bugzilla, moz-phab, Phabricator, and Lando
  • Although we’ll be hosting the repository on GitHub, our contribution workflow will remain unchanged and we will not be accepting Pull Requests at this time
  • We’re still working through the planning stages, but we’re expecting at least six months before the migration begins

    Git seems to have reached a status of “good enough” to the point where it will probably stand still for quite a while. There just isn’t anything that offers benefit significant enough to justify the bother of switching (that I’ve seen so far, I’ve seen pijul before).

    Plenty of things do stand still. We’re still stuck on qwerty keyboards for english.
