Firefox nightlies run quite well, ~35fps on MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo. No stuttering.

Edit: 60fps for one molecule, 35 for two.

About 1/2 of Mozilla's staff works remote or from an office outside the US.

You might need a nightly of Firefox http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/lates...

I'd even argue the Computer History Museum is more interesting than Google. Over 100 years of computing machines, free tours, interactive exhibits and a lot more.

I've interviewed at Google a few times and eat lunch there every week or two. Great campus, but not exactly something that I think people should push for touring when they're in SV.

A few other awesome nerd things to see/do:

HQ in downtown Mountain View, CA, but we have offices in Toronto, New Zealand, Paris, Tokyo and Beijing. Great benefits, extremely challenging projects (scaling web services to 350+ million users, optimizing our JS engine, making Firefox mobile fast on phones).

We're even getting telepresence robots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/seannyelite/4458404134/in/photo...

Mozilla Toronto! We have an office with about 20-30 people there. Great place to work and you'll visit HQ in Mountain View, CA once or twice a year.

That's usually because exposures took many minutes in early photography. Smiling for 5-10 minutes wasn't really possible :)

Some photographers even used metal rods to hold people's heads in place.

Lots of awesome jobs with millions of users and you get to help make the internet a better place :)

+1 I call Comcast every 6 months and threaten to cancel if they don't give me the latest signup package. Been paying ~$80/month for TV, Internet & HD for the past 3 years :)

If they say they can't help you, just ask to talk to a manager, they'll do anything to get you off the phone.

Site is working now.

Thank god. Having a fairly common first and last name, I actually do get an email or two a month addressed to the wrong person. And it's usually addressed to a lot of people.

Although I did kinda enjoy it from a voyeuristic perspective, you'd be surprised what kinds of stuff people email to many of their close friends.

Firefox engineers, IT, Marketing and QA!

I'm working on http://www.getpersonas.com, trying to make it better for the community. Small release tomorrow!

Also working on http://www.mozilla.com/mobile, got some updates for a future release.

Actually, I wasn't picking on it because it's MS, I'm picking on it because it breaks bookmarking, hyperlinking (leave a page open long enough and links stop working), sharing links and reloading pages.

It also avoids the real solution of simply validating and escaping user-entered data, a much more common and secure method of preventing XSS exploits.

Had to submit this, one of the craziest ideas I've heard for 'security'. Because people don't want to bookmark, share or reload their web pages.

And if you can get bad data into a system, it doesn't matter what the URLs are.

FYI Mozilla does have an open blocker bug about this problem:
