? Vertical tabs have never been built into Firefox. Unsure what you mean by "they dropped it because they couldn't get it to work again" -- it was never built into Firefox.

Possibly a slight misunderstanding. Nightly and unbranded builds will always respect that preference. Stable versions, starting with 57 will ignore it.

Getting nervous because your computer starts slowing down or swapping because of the number of tabs open, or because you can't read the tab titles or see the favicons anymore? Firefox doesn't have those problems. ;)

Of course they don't; it's not true.

Probably not, because I'd guess that most people on Facebook still have TVs, and most people not on Facebook _also_ have TVs. (clearly this doesn't include areas where most people don't have TVs.)

The solution here is simple -- lobby W3C to include custom scrollbar colors in the CSS specs, then call out Mozilla for not following the standards. As it is, colored scrollbars are not part of any standard, so asking for them are like aski

You'd have a point if the competition charged fees on a percentage of "alpha" generated -- but they don't, they largely charge more fees than index funds, irrespective of whether they outperform.

I don't think so. The product is the binary, which can perform better or worse, or have more or fewer features than the competition. The direction of the product isn't the product itself, and reflects more upon the people who di

Just people who use Firefox on "desktops" -- so tablets and phones are excluded. Pretty sure you can't run alternate browsers on a Chromebook.
