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.

OMG! SRSLY what is with the release cycle lately? Another creatively bankrupt company…

Here’s a constructive critique, stop trying to innovate in the web browser space because there’s clearly no more innovation to be done… And audit the shit out of your extension library so that we can use those properly, rather than just duplicating functionality that several extensions already provide and selling it to us as a new feature.

Here’s a hint for the shills: Sideberry… If you can’t handle the options menu, maybe just open a few more web browsers?

Damn, I've heard people say that Mozilla should get out of AI and focus on the web browser, I've never seen anyone say that they should stop working on the web browser and focus on extensions instead. Crazy.

Yeah… I got a bit heated.

There’s seemingly a longstanding issue where your tab grouping gets lost on an update, which apparently needs to be fixed by the FF devs… and I was getting harassed to update FF after ignoring the prompt yesterday (which ever yesterday that was)…

I do feel for them on the Ai point. Seems like half the folks can’t live without it and the other half think it’s the harbinger of doom for mankind. I can’t remember anything quite this divisive happening before… maybe Java, but that discussion was largely confined to the halls of academia.
