- LATAM Reps Call Survey
In the end of 2018, we’ve done a Rep survey to analyze the effectiveness of Reps call activity. Based on the survey and data that we’ve collected from various sources, we made this analysis. One of the recommendations from the analysis is then to organize an experiment call in LATAM time zone. We’ve done 2 calls in early January 2019. As a follow up of the experiment, we wanted to do a brief survey to find out if the calls were actually effective. The survey will be open from the 1st of April until 10th of April. Please fill it out before then. This will be a valuable feedback for us to evaluate our experiment.

Mozilla is built upon openness and transparency as our core values, both in the products we make and in how we operate. We rely upon open, collaborative practices to bring in external perspectives, knowledge, creativity and contribution to many of our products, technologies, and operations.

Firefox 66
What’s in new !
Starting with the release of Firefox 66 for desktop and Firefox for Android, Firefox will block audible audio and video by default. We only allow a site to play audio or video aloud via the HTMLMediaElement API once a web page has had user interaction to initiate the audio, such as the user clicking on a “play” button.
