Mozilla engineers do not know what they are doing. If they did they would not be planning on removing all existing extension, they would not have listened to the designers and implemented australis, they would not be trying to make a chrome clone.
- reitanqild 11y agoI wouldn't have phrased it that way. I have removed my fair share of malware from other peoples machines though and I have yet to observe that Firefox extensions has been the attack vector a single time. For that reason I do find it puzzling that they want to irrevocably destroy their single biggest advantage (in my and many other vocal supporters eyes): real, USEFUL extensions. (Even Lastpass has to add an extra binary to my OS to fully work under Chrome IIRC.) Also while I should mostly not say much about design I do find it odd that so many projects attempt to look Mac OSX and I think it is the same frustration some people have with Firefox starting to look like Chrome: not everything the big boys do is necessarily better.
- RaleyField 11y ago> they would not have listened to the designers and implemented australis I happen to think australis looks way more spiffy, old design looked kinda clunky, but then I also love minimalist design of Chrome.
