Wanna join the Firefox team at Mozilla? (solve the puzzle)
2 May, 2012 § 8 Comments
I’m close to reaching the 1-year mark at Mozilla and it has been a blast! I learned about Mozilla from Kevin Dangoor when he placed a similar puzzle on his website. I later interviewed on the day of the Firefox 4 release and have been around for the many releases after it.
We’ve got some large projects that we want to tackle in 2012 and beyond, and we’re looking for some people to help out in making Firefox even more splendid.
Feel free to
- read the job posting and apply through the website,
- or you can solve this short puzzle for some extra bonus points
I’m looking forward to hearing from and getting to work side-by-side with you in the near future.

I guess your entire puzzle requires Firefox-specific features and things just not implemented elsewhere yet. Though I’m not aware of for each being on track for any relevant standard?
for each...inis part of the E4X standard, which is unfortunately not widely supported on non-Mozilla browsers and is not part of the ECMAScript standard (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/for_each…in). It’s a nice construct though and one that I hope sticks even if support for E4X ends up getting pulled at a later date.Hi, I just sent you a mail.
I hope I got it right
Nice challengue, I want more!
I said that I would use some encryption as well
just sent the email. Cool stuff
That’s what my first impulse was too, but you can do almost all of the puzzle (except the tilt part) using any browser just fine. Just needed a good de-obfuscator and some reverse engineering skills. Pretty nice puzzle, if you look at it that way.
It’s a cool puzzle! And fun to solve
