I started using Mozilla Firefox 1.04 many years ago. Everytime a new update was released I was so excited to install it, as the browser became better and better with each update. I remember when Firefox 2.0 was released and I could not wait for it to be available in the Debian package repository, because it was such a big improvement.
Now I absolutely HATE when a update is released, because either functionality is removed, appearance is changed or even more bloat has been added.
Firefox itself has become the problem it tried to solve.
- broodbucket 10y agoWhat in this release would you class as functionality removal, appearance changes or added bloat?
- rxlim 10y agoThis is in the the bloat category: Added a built-in Emoji set for operating systems without native Emoji fonts (Windows 8.0 and lower and Linux)
- cpeterso 10y agoDo you prefer that web pages using Emoji not render as expected for people on Linux and Windows XP/Vista/7/8?
- broodbucket 10y agoDo you think that's a useless feature though? Seeing squares all over the internet isn't exactly a good experience, finding the right font sets to fix your emoji problem can be tricky on Linux too EDIT: just got the update and it a) fixed some emojis I somehow didn't have, namely "thinking face", which is of course critically important and b) made the rest look a lot livelier.
