I'm trying to be angry at Mozilla for messing up, but cant force myself to do it. They ended up to be that adorkable kid that spilled the paint all over the carpet and you just sigh and start cleaning up the mess.

This is my go to tool when dealing with Amazon reviews: https://www.fakespot.com/ 99% of products feature a least some of fake 5 stars. Only very good brands don't rely on them, I usually buy from them even if they hav
