While I appreciate the concern behind the petition, I support the decision to simplify and modernize the architecture in Firefox, even if it does disrupt extensions.
If there was somewhere I could lend my name to say "I support Mozilla making this difficult decision and sticking to it", I would.
- abrowne 10y agoI agree. There's a lot that makes me prefer Firefox that's not extensions.
- RileyKyeden 10y agoI barely use extensions these days. Most of what I want is built in to all the browsers now. All that's left, more or less, is some way to save articles for later and make the few I want to read now easier to follow. Firefox has a reading mode, supports Pocket (though it's integrated now), and lets me use uBlock Origin on mobile, so it's already perfect for my needs.
- reitanqild 10y agoIf they are just going to be a Chrome with less tracking I guess they could just use Chromium as a base? Extensions is my main reason for staying with FF.
- tradesmanhelix 10y ago^ I support the decision to simplify and modernize the architecture in Firefox, even if it does disrupt extensions. Someone wrote this below, and I think it addresses your post perfectly: "I welcome a replacement for XUL. Just make it a full-featured replacement, and don't cut off XUL development until said replacement is indeed full-featured and reasonably stable. "Maybe Mozilla can't pull that off, but I would certainly like to see them try."
