Yeah, and that's cool. I get being consistent with other browsers. I also miss being able to invert the choice with an about:config toggle.
I also know that I'm in the minority, and that maybe the size of my cohort is too small to add yet another thing to check during regression testing.
But I'm still mad about it :) Firefox always seemed like the browser for people who want to configure weird things, or extend it in all sorts of crazy ways. More and more it's becoming a me-too browser, and the only reason I'm sticking with it is out of a sense of duty to fight a Chrome monoculture.
- chrisseaton 6y agoYeah they can't really win - do they try to keep happy a dwindling group who liked Firefox the way it was in the past, or simplify and streamline to innovate more quickly appeal to new users. It's probably impossible to do both. I'm firmly in the anti-customisation camp myself. They obviously aren't ever going to appeal to both of us.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoIt is possible to do both. The answer is customization, about:config already exists.

That’s having customisation. I don’t want customisation. So that’s not doing both at all that’s just doing it your way and ignoring me.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoExactly ;-)
