When you say "more convincing" who are you referring to? Remember, the goal here is not a $500 smart phone. The goal is a smart phone that can sell in emerging markets for a price a fraction of what a new iDevice or top-of-the-line Android

That is not normal behavior. Have you tried disabling addons to see if that may be the problem? Otherwise I'd suggest trying a new profile (if you've been using Firefox for a long time. Firefox Sync can help you keep your settings as you mi

I thought this op-ed was important because I agree with the author that companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook (etc.) get the bulk of the media's attention when none of what they do could have been done without the work that came out of

I live in Japan. Fingleton is misguided. There is no real increase in living standards since the bubble was popped. Goods are getting cheaper, and Japanese people are increasingly consuming cheaper goods. If you only visit the major cities,

Firefox will always be the most customizable of any of the major browsers. If you don't like the default theme there are thousands of others to choose from, as there are today.

Firefox's UI has always been the most customizable of any of the major browsers. You will be able to add it back in if it is taken out by default in the future. (Disclosure: I work for Mozilla but not on the UX team.)
