Mozilla has been committed to a lot of things. "The only browser built for people". "Freedom is personal".
Apparently, "people first" and "freedom" means "You can only install what we okay" (signing crap).
It also means "we will load the browser with utterly irrelevant add-ons whether or not you want them".
Apparently, "individuals can shape their own experience" means "we will outright prevent you from visiting sites configured a certain way" (see the dupe SSL cert handling bug that's been languishing for nearly a decade)
It also means "all that stuff you spent a decade getting used to gets thrown out, so sorry".
Mozilla, for all their talk of high-minded user-first ideals, sure doesn't treat their users like their time is valuable or their tasks are important. Perhaps I'd find this merely odious, rather than outright offensive if your company didn't continually talk like they wanted to be different and then behave in literally the opposite way.
Call this post gratuitously negative if you want to, but every time I give Firefox another try, I find another slap in the face. At least I know where I stand with Chrome.
