The Firefox team has a solution: Break everything to make it faster, and not care about the freaks who like extensions, who rely on extensions. Cooperation is a two-way street, and the Firefox devs blocked it off entirely.
- throwanem 9y agoThat's not been my experience at all. But I'm relatively new to extension maintainership, having only picked up the Firemacs baton earlier this year. No doubt your own experience equips you much better to comment on Mozilla's interaction with extension devs than mine. Look, I get it, okay? It's a pisser. But throwing this kind of shit around helps nothing and nobody. It just makes life a little worse for everyone in the blast radius. Maybe you're fine with that. More likely you're just mad. I get that. But it's not an excuse.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoThere are still thousands of actively developed extensions. I get that you're mad about some of your favorite niche extensions being unavailable due to relying on XUL functionality that shouldn't have been there in the first place, but you'll just have to find alternatives.
- msla 9y agoAnd the dismissive attitude of the Firefox team just makes the whole thing worse. The alternative a lot of people will find is a different browser.
