Mods: the link should perhaps be changed to: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/We...

This currently has 1215 points, and the link is no longer valid. It now just shows an image of Firefox's devtools and the sentence "Replay is an early experiment. We'll let you know on @FirefoxDevTools when it's ready for input." That's not useful, interesting, or informative. The MDN docs seem like an appropriate replacement.

The initial version of the site gave a good overview of Firefox Replay: https://web.archive.org/web/20191128111509/https://firefox-r...

Note: You can try out Firefox Reply on a macOS in Firefox nightly: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/

Firefox removed the content that tells you this. It's odd that they did that...

My guess is that all this attention was a premature launch, and they were hoping to make news with Firefox Replay later. (US Thanksgiving day isn't exactly ideal...)

Correct on premature launch! Handling all the excitement was fun though while preparing food. There is a lot more work and research needed before rolling this out further.

Awesome job with it! The tech is fascinating. I got it working, somewhat, myself. And thanks for confirming my suspicion! It sure looked like one =)

That gives me “The Wayback Machine has not archived that URL.”

I also get the same for all the other snapshots, maybe Mozilla applied for a takedown?

Edit: I found it on archive.is: http://archive.is/0ei35 Though it seems a bit broken.
