For once, I agree with Mozilla. Yanking customization like this is just what you need to do when a product grows up.
Utter bollocks. I used theming to get the Fx 4 user interface to look like the Fx3 one when the fucked it up. That was the one saving grace it had. Firefox is well into being a waste of space these days, and this is just another example of why.
We did; it's called Pale Moon. And we're showing that far more than "a few people" use themes (not to mention XUL).
You do realize that the reason themes because an "obscure feature" is because Mozilla has been bludgeoning them with a baseball bat for the last few years, right? Continual breaking UI updates, making themes virtually invisible on AMO, telling people to use personas? Themes used to have many hundreds of thousands of users and be a first class citizen in the Mozilla add-ons world until some UX people decided they were undesirable.
... the tech industry is a stated goal of many companies. Because reasons.
Over the past few years, these companies' diversity reports have bemoaned how engineering and leadership teams skew overwhelmingly white and male. Because reasons.
In hindsight, would you have reduced the scope of on-topic questions for Stackoverflow to where it's at today when you started the site knowing what you do now, and do you think it would've made the site less popular?
When they rip out core technologies that devs have been working with and spending time on for years like XUL and XPCOM, damn straight they get shit from devs. And they deserve it, and for their product to wither and die.
Fukushima was OLDER than Chernobyl. The results of a nuclear disaster at a positively ancient nuclear plant linger. So what? We aren't talking about building ancient nuke plants.
Seriously, fuck trick-or-treating. I didn't get any knocks on the door here in the UK and I'm happy about it. Why Americans are so obsessed with Halloween is beyond me.

You might change your mind on that if they started putting out blatantly biased propaganda for or against certain US political parties, as they do for UK ones over here.
Actually one of the odd rules in parliament is that you cannot (in parliament) accuse another MP of lying. You can do it outside parliament of course, which is why this rule is so dumb.
On the rare occasion I look at my Gmail spam folder, I almost always see one or two false positives in there, even though I always mark then as Not Spam. I'm pretty glad my main email provider is my own server.
Yep. Linus eviscerated CVS and SVN (and classic TFS, by extension) in this talk. I've watched it a few times over. I encourage any SVN enthusiast to watch it and really try to take in what he's saying, because it did quite a lot to change my opinion towards using git.
This is a problem with Windows 10 in general - vast areas of empty white space on a PC because it has a widescreen monitor which a mobile phone doesn't. Metro tiles which may make sense for a touch device but are just awful for a PC. Calling everything "apps" instead of programs (a bugbear of mine). And IMHO a terrible visual refresh that sucks all the colour out of the icons and replaces them with monochrome line art (icons are white-on-blue or white-on-red or white-on-green, settings screen icons are blue-on-white or blue-on-grey, etc.)
How anyone can call this an improvement on windows 7's UI I don't know.

I'm betting a stunningly small amount of the entire Mozilla user base gives a crap.
I'm betting Mozilla has a stunningly small user base now because of this attitude.

Cool! Shame it's gonna be illegal in the UK soon...

Yes, I also answer to The Grinch.
The feigned outrage is especially hypocritical with the E.U. since the world leader in mass surveillance, the U.K., is a member.
Hopefully not for too much longer.
Nice try but no-one's gonna be allowed to disrupt the Hillary coronation.

Why? The licence fee payers don't get to decide on BBC programming.
Don't like it? Oppose the licence fee like millions of us already do.
The ad video is now private. What was the gist of it?
The SNP never pay attention to Westminster. They just insult it all the time.
I'd have thought the bray would come more naturally to her, anyway.

I don't think you have a clue how to use git.

Yes. That's precisely the MO of professional victimhood, and precisely why people in power shouldn't give a shit about "offended" people.

Yep
Makes me glad I have my LG G3 with its Snapdragon processor. :-D
