The author describes finding a supportive team and meaningful work, then leaving to pursue something new after burnout from sustained workload around a major browser rewrite. ### Source excerpt I don't think any little girl grows up with the goal of "I want to be an OSS Android browser developer" and to be totally honest, even as an adult I just kind of fell into it. I first joined Mozilla as an intern during my change-career journey mainly because I had taken one Android class, knew some Java, and applied on a whim at the right time to hit the recruiter's inbox. Despite not actively seeking Mozilla or Android out, I immediately fell in love with the project and team and knew I had stumbled into a very special place. The problems were interesting, I had opportunities for leadership and growth from the start, and the people were kind, smart, and supportive. ## Firefox for Android Performance Measures - Q3 Check-up DevFeed: [Firefox for Android Performance Measures - Q3 Check-up]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: gbrown-mozilla Published: 2016-09-30T19:57:17Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Mozilla Automation]() Topics: [Firefox](), [Android](), [bug](), [SVG]() Tags: [android](), [apk](), [bug](), [firefox](), [firefox-for-android](), [improvements](), [memory](), [mozilla](), [performance](), [performance-measurements](), [startup](), [svg](), [treeherder]() ### AI overview A Q3 performance check-up for Firefox for Android reports improvements in APK size, memory use, and startup time associated with bug 1291424.
