I'm amazed by people who act like using someone's software product is like some kind of sacrifice or something. My point is that, if you (not a dev team) don't like something you (again, not a dev team) can build it from source to do exactly what you want. Firefox is OSS, most of the popular extensions are OSS. That's the whole point of the thing. Mozilla has done a pretty good job of championing open standards, open source, user freedom, and all the stuff that people complain about on HN as if they weren't squarely first world problems. You outsource the upkeep of this incredibly complicated software to them and for the most part they do a great job. The level of vitriol about all of this just illustrates the whole "from-zero-to-death-threat" thing that has happened with everything in modern life. I'm saying that they give you something awesome. They mainly do a pretty good job of championing some of the things that you care about. They made a mistake and they seem to understand everyone's displeasure with it. The end...or get off your ass and do something about it rather than just complaining about how the people giving you the awesome free thing hurt your fee-fee's.
