Yep, and I still have to deal with my settings being reset every time I update, their user hostile UX flows, strange highlights on web page elements, and all the other stuff Firefox says aren't important to users. But I do it, why? So that all those scaremongers who screech "but you have to use Firefox! Otherwise youre helping the evil only other game in town!" like they always do don't have a single argument. Mozilla shows utter disdain for their users with just about every announcement, update, new feature or new restriction. The irrationality with which people defend them is jarringly similar to a cult, it's really unsettling. I just want a web browser that doesn't feel like it fucking hates me.

> Mozilla shows utter disdain for their users with just about every announcement, update, new feature or new restriction This is absolute hyperbole. Have you forgotten the context? You're on a story about full extension support being implemented, which is exactly what you wanted.

  Taking that away was just the last straw. Trust has been broken, and I don't like being bullshitted and abused, and then brow beaten and guilt tripped for not liking it. I use tools that respect me and do what I need them to do, I refuse to be herded into a set of acceptable behaviors and thoughts like a cow, and by a corporation no less. The people making decisions at Mozilla should be ashamed of themselves.

Firefox works fine for me, setting have never been reset. Feels like you have some other issues to work out unrelated to free software.

  Go into about:config, turn off video autoplay and then update your browser, see if it persists.

>my settings being reset every time I update, their user hostile UX flows, strange highlights on web page elements I have used firefox since 2007. I have used the exact same firefox PROFILE, that I simply copy from device to device when I set them up, for 10 years now. I have NEVER ONCE lost ANY settings. Maybe you're on a weird linux distro and the package manager does dumb things?
