The "Hello" button automatically came back to the toolbar (I had removed it) after the Firefox 42 upgrade. Thought that it could be accidental and checked on a different machine, the same thing happened.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoI seem to recall some Mozillian saying this wasn't intentional and explaining why, but I don't have the link.
- whoopdedo 11y agoFunny how decisions which financially benefit the developer have a way of "accidentally" being activated by default. The automatic downloading of the Windows 10 update. Or these bundled Telefonica extensions in Firefox.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoFirefox is developed in the open. It's easy to check if there was a deliberate change.
- Karunamon 11y agoOf course there was a change, but that does nothing to tell us if the way it was activated was accidental or intentional.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoWell, the commit message would be a clue. If we assume they aren't being deceptive.
