I'll be downvoted to Hell for this, but I don't care. With each subsequent release of Firefox, I'm consistently happy that I've moved to Pale Moon. The nonsense they're adding and the problems that Mozilla has to "fix" seem more often than not to be brought on themselves with the rapid-release and the move away from being Firefox to being "almost Chrome". The move to multi-process (which has introduced memory leaks), the move to WebExtensions (which nuked add-ons that worked reliably since FF2.0), and the general roadmap make me almost want to stop using a web browser.

Mozilla has been pushing anti-features like their survival depends on it. I too have moved to forks. I use icecat and waterfox now. Tired of being abused because they assume too much. Just be a stupid browser and stop being the internet police. You're not making the web better, you're just driving your long time users (we hackers) away, and news flash, no one is there to replace them! Normal users use default tools.

This reads far better without the first sentence.

Perhaps so, but I was absolutely correct on the response.
