As user expectations and technology evolve, people have gravitated toward different browsers and devices to access the internet. However, these differences can cause issues when not properly checked and addressed. Cross-browser testing examines these differences, making it essential to the UX design process.

Motivation Around 20% of Firefox’s HTTP traffic today uses HTTP/3, which runs over QUIC, which in turn runs over UDP. This translates to substantial UDP I/O activity. Firefox uses NSPR for most of its network I/O. When it comes to UDP I/O, NSPR only offers a limited set of dated APIs, most relevant here PR_SendTo and PR_RecvFrom, wrappers around POSIX’s sendto and recvfrom. The N in NSPR stands for Netscape, giving you a hint of its age.| max-inden.de

For 2026, that call begins today and lasts through September 24, 2025. The submission...| Igalia
