Notes from Nick Desaulniers on Convergence of the Browser and the OS

Convergence of the Browser and OS

Nick Desaulniers (Open Source @ Mozilla)

  • [What does "Open Source" mean to me?][1]

What would a desktop environment look like if it were implemented entirely in a browser?

Using mozMobileConnections with MNC and MCC to enable app features for specific country/carrier combinations
var mccs = [];
try {
// navigator.mozMobileConnections is the new API.
// navigator.mozMobileConnection is the legacy API.
var conn;
if ((conn = navigator.mozMobileConnection)) {
console.log('navigator.mozMobileConnection available');

Mint upgrade procedures

Some investigation and tests on how to upgrade Mint machine.

Tests performed on Mint Cinnamon 14/15/16, on physical machine 14->15 and VirtualBox VMs for 14->15->16 and 14->16.

As usual you could break your machine, so please do backups before and cross fingers.

Mint 14 -> Mint 15

Detect carrier and region from `mozMobileConnection`'s `MNC` and `MCC`
// Original https://github.com/mozilla/fireplace/blob/c50b5ca51643f13ae2e8b3a003d3aa0432358bf7/hearth/media/js/user.js#L41
// Retrieve MCC and MNC from mozMobileConnection (requires "privileged" app type and "mobileconnection" permission)
// and translates them to carrier and region via mobilenetwork.js
try {
// When Fireplace is served as a privileged packaged app (and not
// served via Yulelog) our JS will have direct access to this API.
var conn = navigator.mozMobileConnection;

Detect language changes when switching to app. I personally recommend setting current language only on app launch. Reacting to changes later benefits only a small set of users, focus on the 99%!
// Example code, use with caution!
// Events and .hidden property requires no prefix since 18
// Set current language on launch
document.documentElement.lang = navigator.language;
function visibilityChange() {
// user went off page, ignore
if (document.hidden) return;
