>A small but vocal number of users complained
You can use this to rationalize-away every regression in every piece of software. Enough "well, they're just edge case loud power users" papercuts may eventually prove fatal.
A to-hell-with-your-workflow sneak update, no-downgrade path approach like this speaks volumes about Mozilla.
EDIT: Sneak insofar as no clear communication about how much functionality users would be (potentially permanently) losing, and no directions on how to avoid that outcome. The play store rollout has certainly been inconsistent but that's probably more on Google's end.
- your-nanny 6y agowell I didn't know it was coming and my workflow went to hell.
- zamadatix 6y agoNever attribute to sneakiness what can be attributed to not wanting to maintain 2 versions of one app until 100% feature parity. There isn't really direction to give for a path that doesn't exist.
- anoncake 6y agoRemoving the whitelist would be a trivial amount of work.
- zamadatix 6y agoSure but not everything works yet which is not a trivial amount of issues but for nightly it is the near term plan https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/14034 https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/14034
- anoncake 6y agoNot everything works yet, but with the whitelist, virtually nothing does. Removing it would still make a lot of extensions work without breaking anything.

- FeepingCreature 6y agoYou can downgrade but you have to redo all your configuration.
- retox 6y agoUnless something has changed recently deleting Firefox also deletes anything you ever downloaded with it. Be very careful about this. Also there is no way to clear the list of downloaded files, there is only a 'delete' button, which if clicked deletes all your downloads. This is particularly annoying if you start downloading something only to find out you already downloaded it (i.e a podcast), the download history tab is the only place to cancel the download, but if you've used firefox for a while the tab is so slow to load that your download has often completed before the tab has loaded.
- xxs 6y agoI keep all downloads/media on the sd card only.
