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.

Are people not capable of forming their own opinion these days?

I've been happily using FF since v1 and the only issues I have every now and again is I may need to update my CustomCSSforFx - with my chosen customisations (i.e. keeping the tabs on the damn bottom). I regularly have 1000+ tabs loaded at any time (with Auto Tab Discard), uBlock Origin has never failed on me, and everything just works.

So, I really couldn't give a monkeys what this clickbait article says. I'm not saying Mozilla is perfect, but when people complain about the privacy stuff, they've also forgotten FF is one of the only browsers that lets you turn that shit off.

The latest hysteria about FF adding Perplexity AI as a bloody search shortcut - no different to Wikipedia(!) - tells me all I need to know about other people's opinions.

Still using Firefox, and still enjoying it... Why? Because I'm capable of thinking and rationalizing. Try it!
