more bureaucratic BS. Christ just concentrate on making a good browser for a change instead of always chasing the new shinny approach they have taken the last few years. Making changes for nothing but messing the users about as far as I can tell, it is just sad the state of development these days. |

I agree Happy. I am still using Firefox as my primary browser but I miss the "old days" when Firefox was young, mean, and lean. |

Caveat.... Of course the following is only my opinion... and feel free to disagree and call me out on errors and overly harsh or judgmental tones. Truth be told: I use FF because it's really the only useable FOSS browser available. Chromium is not so great. Chrome is not FOSS. Opera is not great. Epiphany is terrible [sorry Gnome people, but it is] There are several other browsers, but most are very feature poor... FF is really the only option for Desktop GNU/Linux people who don't wish to support the new evil empire ... i.e. Google. Mozilla has some other products, but I don't use them. I tried to like Thunderbird, but I simply do not like email 'clients' that are actually slightly modified browsers. I used Seamonkey for a while to design stuff, but then I discovered I actually don't like WYSIWYG web design. The result is usually quite poor and needs enough tweaking to justify rewriting the product in Bluefish editor instead. So... all in all.. I agree... Mozilla: Build a good browser and forget the rest. It's too bad you fired the good leader you had a few years ago over a minor external philosophical spat. And I will probably use his product instead when it is fully useable. |

There are times when I use Palemoon, Chromium, Qupzilla, and Midori, but I still do use Firefox the most for now. |
