Patched but unusable still equal unusable. FF should really decouple security patches from redesign and functional changes. There is no reason to force both.

- speedgoose 6y agoThere is no reason to continue to support old versions for a few users only.
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoMaintaining security patches separately basically means branching the code and is quite a bit more work. I suppose ESR is the closest to what you want.
- jfk13 6y agoThrowing around words like "unusable" for a design change that, although you don't like it, millions of people are using successfully doesn't do much for your credibility. Firefox is developed pretty much "in the open"; you and others are welcome to engage in reasonable discussion about UI (and functional) issues, and make your case for or against a given change. But if you're just going to label it "unusable", I suspect you'll find it hard to be taken seriously.
- ProAm 6y ago> millions of people are using successfully doesn't do much for your credibility Millions of people are using it because they are forced to after an update. I do not care what others think about my 'credibility' on a forum where Im sharing my opinion. I find it unusable. Mozilla is fighting every day for relevancy and to maintain as much market share as possible (and I say this as loving FF and being a user for over a decade). They did this to mimic Chrome and hope people find it similar enough to not mind switching. I get it my opinion is not the opinion of everyone on earth nor do I expect it to, I still find the new address bar unusable.
