Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

KDE's Konqueror had this for .. decades, I believe.

It means that no matter what size display you've got, if you want to do side-by-side comparison on ONE site you're visiting, then you split the window for THAT tab.

You don't need 2 windows, with all their menu-bars, widgets, borders, status-bars, etc, duplicated.

Much cleaner.

On small displays, it's wonderful, for comparing information between 2 pages/sites.

On mobile, it's impossible to have 2 windows of Firefox open simultaneously.

& 1 of the above commenters pointed out that they're only doing it where it doesn't really matter to most, on the desktop, but NOT doing it where it's NEEDED, on mobile.

Typical Mozilla, in my eyes.

Too-frequently solving the wrong problem, enacting the wrong "strategy".

All jokes aside, it's really not that important. I'm glad you're excited about it though.

He's not. He just seems to be looking for Mozilla-related posts and diarrhea blasting sardonic comments on them.
