Project discontinued?
I read that it ended at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Janus but it doesn't explain why.
Sorry for the late reply. The project has been discontinued, but the code will remain open, available and I will be handling PRs, if required.
This project helped us to explore the idea of a privacy/compression proxy from a technical perspective, but Mozilla doesn't currently have plans to support the additional infrastructure that would be required to make this service available worldwide with low latencies, therefore active development on it has been halted.
It's relatively easy to set up your own instance of the proxy, but it does require a high-bandwidth, low-latency connection and (depending on usage) high processing capability for image/video compression.
If you need support with setting an instance up or something else, you can reach out to me and I would be glad to help.
I think this is relevant and I am new here so hello... A. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/02/10/extension-signing-safer-experience/ With Mozilla announcing that extension must be signed for future releases of Firefox to use, are you guys going to update one last time for the add-on by signing it, even though the project discontinued and "no longer actively developing it" anymore?
B. I did send a report weeks ago but anyway... The add-on no longer works anymore for Firefox Nightly for Android version 41 (both api9 and 11) It can install but its icon no longer show up at address bar. Going into the add-on section shows the add-on installed, but the auto configuration is not working... The boxes are not automatically set up (ticked) and the PAC URL is blank... Even the information of Proxy in, Proxy out is not showing up... So help?
Jumping on an ancient thread for lack of a better place, but… now that Firefox is in the VPN business, does the following still apply?

If people are willing to pay for the VPN and Mozilla has that infrastructure, maybe it makes sense to give Firefox users the ability to tweak their bandwidth preferences and have the VPN also serve to minimize assets travelling through it?
