Seamonkey used to be simply be known as "Mozilla" or "Mozilla Application Suite", and was the original browser by Mozilla before they decided to spin off the code into the "Phoenix" and "Thunderbird"

One thing I would love to happen is the opportunity for third party stores to open on older consoles that are no longer supported by their manufacturer. Imagine still being able to buy games for the 360, PS3 and Wii without having to source

Whenever I mention a website's issue to tech support, they give me the "just use Chrome" song and dance. I have to actively protest for the right to use Firefox. If your company does this you are complicit in Google's mo

Gnome's thumbnails in file picker feature still hasen't been fixed in over 20 years. They recently added the code for thumbnails but it doesn't work without opening Nautilus first. I remember KDE 3.0 from 2002 had functional

Nintendo tends to have a "good-bad" cycle similar to Windows. The good phases help save the whole gaming industry.

I know for a fact that there are a lot of unreverted vandal edits in Wikidata, because Wikidata's bots enter data so fast that it is too fast for Special:Recentchanges to monitor. Even Wikipedia still regularly gets 15+ year old hoaxes

It's a long story, I was a legitimate editor for a about a year and just built up a grudge which turned into making more unhelpful edits until I got banned. Wikipedia is not a good environment for when things go wrong.

It's basically like a endless library but with big gaps missing on the shelves, and you know that the books that are missing there were destroyed intentionally, and attempts to bring new books to the library are sabotaged. I hate parts

Wikipedia has become the worst place on the internet for me, it's so addictive that I've been on it for decades despite being banned from editing because I vandalized it years ago. If you look at the list of "long term abuse&

I remember the period where Encarta allowed user contributions to their website but more moderated than Wikipedia. It's a shame that Microsoft gave up on Encarta too soon, it could have been a perfect integration with Bing AI and not s

I made games using the various Clickteam tools back in the early 2000s. They even had a flash competitor which I used to put games online.

Hopefully Chromium starts wanting ipv6 by default as well and starts putting a warning message on websites still using ipv4 in 2023 too. We are almost at 50% ipv6 usage according to Google, time to start pressuring the laggards.

I was an active Wikipedian back in the early days (2002-2006), and I ran for adminship twice, each time I was rejected for petty reasons. If you don't have a "perfect" account, they will pile on opposes. The only reason why s

I remember Xbox 360s don't let you set a time beyond 2025. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft releases an update soon.

What's more is that it also has a full web browser that is not based on webkit/blink/gecko but its own independent engine.

Now that Parallels, Crossover and UTM have solved the boot camp issue there is little reason to let x86 compatibility get in the way. Most of the major Mac apps have released Universal Binaries as well. It's not even been six months ye

A similar problem is when Microsoft took down the update and activation servers for Windows XP. Hacks and phone activation sometimes work, but it is a problem for people who need XP.

Apple devices have the same issue. Any device running iOS 8 or lower can’t connect to tls 1.2 sites which is the majority of the internet.

I have a love hate relationship with Firefox, its only major trick left is that it’s not Chromium. Making it a monopoly of the non-monopoly browsers. I tried for a while to use Waterfox and Pale Moon but they just aren’t accepted by too man

It’s the same mindset with Bitcoin, Tech Stocks or even Pokemon cards. It became valuble because not many people knew.

With both Windows and MacOS both putting scary warnings and hard to bypass blocking methods on improperly signed software this could eventually lead to developers being ransomed, “pay us big money or we will revoke your certificate”. This i

Hopefully the community can improve it and make an independent project that isn’t influenced by Google. I don’t trust Mozilla to do so anymore.

Microsoft has migrated nearly all non business users to Edge. Using IE gets big scary warnings to use Edge when using Bing and MSN and most consumer websites don’t support it any more. It is safe to assume that IE usage is forced usage by c

Why hasn't Firefox been forked yet? Not a spin off like Pale Moon or Waterfox but an actual fork of the entire codebase. With only two real browser engines remaining the potential for an independent policitally neutral browser is high.

The fall isn’t over yet. I can see lots of organizations panicking in January 2021 when the flash plugin suddenly stops working. It dosen’t matter how much advance warning is given, there will always be someone caught out.
