Companies always have internal problems that are not known outside the company. Companies also have management in place to address and resolve those problems. In a start-up situation, it is one problem after the other, sometimes many at once. If it weren't Tesla, it'd be a non-issue.
Mass appeal will always be separate and distinct from critical appeal. The former is about the commercial success, the latter about quality. The Big Mac® has mass appeal, but I wouldn't want to eat one.
.. a very small step. Almost an invisible step. I don't want to just see my data that are collected, I want to be able to control whether or not my data are collected in the first place. And along those lines, I'd want to see and control all the data that Microsoft is harvesting from my computer (it is my computer, isn't it, Microsoft?). Not just the diagnostic data, but the user tracking data as well.
...Just don't be an idiot and install some trash add on....
Exactly. For example, here is one extension that was very useful for me in my work - DNSSEC/TLSA Validator. The developers of that extension say on the website, "The add-on is not supported for Firefox 57 and above. Firefox 57 drops the support for various APIs, which the add-on has been using, without providing adequate replacement." For me DNSSEC/TLSA Validator was an extremely useful extension and, given Firefox's supposed tilt towards higher security, why isn't that functionality a part of Firefox? Oh yeah, it wasn't added to Firefox because an extension provided the functionality.
So, if I say a hard truth now I are a "troll"? it is precisely because of this kind of childish attitude that Firefox does not advance,

Adobe went over to a forced subscription model for two of the products of theirs that I use. I no longer use them. Yes, there was a short period during which I had to learn a different vendor's product. But the effort needed to make that change was more than made up by the elimination of the monthly blond-letting of the forced subscription model.
As the new "features" of cars become more and more software-based, I expect monthly subscription fee presence to become more and more universal. It is a lot easier to enable a feature implemented in software (just toggle a flag), than it is to bring the car back to the dealer and install a feature that requires hardware. So as the focus of features becomes the dashboard display and the software that enables it, the car manufacturers are only going to exploit those features more and more for their monthly revenue stream.
... less maple syrup means more usage of corn syrup. Since corn-growing states tend to have a lot of climate change deniers, this will be viewed as a feature.
Who knows if they are even thinking at all. The crowd that currently appears to be in charge at Mozilla seems to have a really strange perception of what the Firefox users want, and a strange perception of security. Yesterday I tried to log into the Mozilla site, but I was not allowed to because I would not let Mozilla persistently store tracking data on my PC. I allowed session cookies, but that wasn't good enough for them. Apparently they wanted access to offline web content storage.

Given google's history, being prudent does not mean one is wearing a tin foil hat.

Once google has processed the photo, the photo is no longer needed, so why store it? Google may not use this data, but who else, besides google will have access to this data? What third parties? Googles overall privacy policy is wide open to google sharing data with third parties.

No joking, just the reality that google (and, by reference, google+) has a long, long way to go in order to catch up to facebook's facial database.

Exactly. Google is getting something out of this app. I wonder what it is?
A nice way to get people to submit a good image of their face so that google can build a database of faces and try to catch up to facebook in this area.
Definitely could use some mobile love. My phone updated to the latest version of Firefox on Android, and the Firefox update process lost all of my bookmarks. Every single last one of them. No warning that the update would delete my bookmarks, they just were not there after the update. I just cannot figure out what in the world the Mozilla people are thinking with all this garbage.

I'd be more concerned about the effects of systemd on the Linux distributions. :)

Interesting test. I lost 7 points just because I do not want to be interrupted by Web notifications.
Quality of life issues? It's a friggin' browser, for Pete's sake. Geesh, now even the Mozilla fan bois are lower in quality.
Too late, my comment was already marked as a troll. So much for Mozilla wanting feedback from users...

Then why not distinguish itself by not doing all the tracking and data collection?
Gotta start that tracking and data collection as early as possible.
Instead of being trained not to over-react in situations, it appears as if police are being trained to over-react in situations.

They don't even have a status site available that does not go down with their main site?
