I know you're sarcastic, but I'll try to answer anyway :) > How can we best contribute to the total removal and scrapping of WebExtensions in favor of a more robust XUL development environment? I don't know if that would b

Interesting. It does for me. It's not only disabling it, The "Recommended by Pocket" doesn't even show up in the about:home sidebar. Can you try restarting the browser, and if it doesn't help, file a bug pls?

Glad you like it! On the issues - what you listed is the eternal dilemma of cross-platform software. Balancing cross-platform behavior vs. platform-compliance. There are choices that are just "Firefox-specific" like the shortcut t

If you don't bother to understand the factors, then yes, it's very easy :) Unfortunately, making opinions without learning about the factors in play is called "ignorance" and usually is frowned upon.

I do not have numbers for how many users use extensions, but my gut feeling is that it's much lower than it was in 2011. We've been moving to e10s over last months enabling it for users who don't have legacy addons (so, they

I understand that this is how you see our actions. Working on Mozilla, I do not agree with you on multiple points: > If attracting contributors was such a priority for mozilla, you would think that so many screw-the-users-we-are-doing-th

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I think there's a deeper debate that Mitchell is running over the last few years at Mozilla, and that's how to find a balance between "your voice is heard" and "someone is making

Hi! I'm the author of the post. So, it's not "asking for help", it's informing how you can help. I'm also not "begging for contributors" or asking to help with "company goals", I'm sugg

I'm sorry you had this experience. I'm also happy to say that we actually did improve our build chain. I have a build env for Firefox on Mac, Windows and Linux and it all works quite smoothly. The only issue is that full compilati

a) I'm not sure what you base your believe in. My gut feelings tells me the opposite. If you polled a representative sample of employees you'd get very different results in the 2nd chart but that's not important because: b) T
