Mozilla shoots itself in foot

Ghacks is a good site, but a bunch of people in the comments section there tend to be weirdly, toxically negative against all things Mozilla/Firefox.

Stay out of the comments.  Always stay out of the comments.  The reporting itself seems to be spot on, though, so I wouldn't hold it against ghacks.

Deozaan:
The latest update appears to have resolved the issue for me. :Thmbsup:

Did you know that K-Meleon still exists?

Anyway, that was it for me. I have repeatedly said (or rather, written) that Netscape/Mozilla was one of the products which are just less horrible than their competitors.

I silently suffered when they started increasing the version number to match Chrome, then they took my statusbar (later, "add-on bar"), the RSS support, application theming and XUL add-ons, in Germany they even started distributing adware in cooperation with a yellow press publisher. Some time in between they forced me to distribute my add-ons over their shady portal because of mandatory "signing". That "signing" broke my privacy and security over the weekend - and my patience is limited, it always was, it always will be.

When I saw the news, I was on my way to visit friends, so my Friday was rather calm: no Firefox was involved.
The first thing I did when I came back home was:


* I booted my Windows computer.
* I uninstalled Firefox.
* I set up my already installed Vivaldi so that it mostly matches my previous Firefox installation.
On my other "desktop" I already had Pale Moon, so I was fine.

Farewell, Mozilla. This was one middle finger too much for me.

All you whiners. Just do it and keep it to yourself. No one really cares.

For instance no one cares that I am sticking with FF.

Tuxman:
Indeed, we don't care.
