    "without any real warning at all"
    Wrong. That time you added an exception back in 2013 was the warning. Now deal with it.

  2. Re:Flashblock. on Facebook's Auto-Play Videos Chew Up Expensive Data Plans · · Score: 1

    It also blocks autoplaying HTML5-videos, or at least did so some time ago.

  3. Re:Question... on Google Introduces HTML 5.1 Tag To Chrome · · Score: 1

    Great, another reason to switch to Chrome.

  4. Re:Products will be cheaper. on Study: Ad-Free Internet Would Cost Everyone $230-a-Year · · Score: 2

    Funny, how nobody seems to pick up this point. Indeed, we are already paying the 230 bucks.

    Cyberlink PowerDVD, iirc.

    It's bundling McAfee when you download the Flash player with Firefox, but it's bundling Chrome when you download it in IE. :)

    Your math is way off.

    Why is this rated -1?

  10. Re:Why? on Georgia Tech Researchers Jailbreak iOS 7.1.2 · · Score: 0

    Why buy a device with a broken OS which you have to fix yourself?

    The only things missing now are buyers and users.

  13. Re:I don't get it on Web Browsing Isn't Copyright Infringement, Rules EU Court of Justice · · Score: 1

    They've also shot down the data retention directive recently, so it's really two for three.

  14. Probably for the same reason they want to get cash from Google for registering their sites for Google News: Greed.

    This gotta be the third or fourth developer-focused FirefoxOS-device. When are there going to be some consumer-focused devices?

  17. Re:Expensive on Firefox OS Powered Flame Available For Pre-order; Ships Globally · · Score: 1

    The more important question is: Why would you develop for FirefoxOS in the first place?

    Must be a nice feeling for companies knowing that you can rely on self-imposed unpaid slaves working in their free time to fix their very own screw-ups.

  21. Re:New UI? on Firefox 29 Beta Arrives With UI Overhaul And CSS3 Variables · · Score: 1

    Just shows the inefficiency of the whole organisation.
    Same thing with the downloadpanel mentioned below.
    First mockups in 2010, Safari released in in 2011, and it got added in Firefox sometime in 2013.

    Considering the article, wouldn't it be kinda obvious why firefox got hacked? The source code is available.
