    Speaking of what everyone wants, hoo-ray for the built-in video chat! They finally relented, after years of users clamoring for this necessary feature, to bundle it into their flagship product *even though* it meant they would have to postpone fixing some of the regressions that have come up recently.

    Thanks Firefox. Thirefox.

    A lot.

    Firefox lost me at least 10 versions ago, or whatever.

    So sometime last week then?

    Don't worry about it, next week you'll be running Firefox 35 anyway.

    The Firefox welcome page says
    "We've partnered with Yahoo to bring you better search results".

    It means that:
    - internal testing showed that Yahoo results were better,
    - the Firefox team cares more about the quality of search results than the bid money.
