The thing that absolutely pisses me off is how I try to be actively aware of what settings I disagree with and disable things I don't like - and then an unseen update resets things to default.
HOW MANY TIMES MUST I UNCHECK WHAT TO SYNC TO MY ACCOUNT? YOU WOULD THINK THAT IS SAVED PERSISTENTLY.
I think my qualify of life on Firefox would be improved greatly if a notice popped up saying some of my settings were reset to defaults because of breaking changes (or minor). Like they give a crap.
- nullandvoid 7y agoNot sure why the down votes that would sure piss me off. I'm very conscious of what I want synced and it only takes a single bug like that to throw away all the effort to keep things separated
- TAForObvReasons 7y agoDownvotes are coming from the Mozilla defenders on HN, of which there are many. Many valid criticisms of Mozilla or Firefox's practices are frequently downvoted hard and flagged, which is truly unfortunate
- setr 7y agoPerhaps you disabled settings sync ;)
- baroffoos 7y agoThis is a slightly difficult problem but it has been solved in other places. When I update my computer with linux sometimes I will get a message saying that upstream has changed a config file that I have also modified and it asks if I want to keep my version, keep upstreams version or open it in an editor.
