The real problem is that Mozilla did really banal shit by pulling the rug out from under the existing extensions. One extension developer told me that the facilities they need are no longer present. Why did Mozilla abandon them after luring them in to write an extension?
The old extension model gave you access to everything....
The Mozilla hyped up that old extension model, using it to show how feature-rich Firefox was. Then Mozilla just takes it away.
...The trouble is that most extensions...
The trouble is that Firefox has lost so much functionality that it is useless for me.
So I wish Mozilla well in their quest to be a Chrome clone, they're going to need it if this is how they treat long-time users.
...But Mozilla succeeded in breaking the lock Microsoft's Internet Explorer had on the web a decade ago, and now it's fighting the same battle again against Google's Chrome....
The way not to take on Chrome is to become a total clone of it and, at the same time, destroy all the functionality that extensions had provided.
... It can't be understated how good of a job MS has done with Win10 and the company's direction as a whole in the past few years....
Yeah, MS came out with an operating system that so few wanted, they tried to give it away. And when that didn't work, they tried to trick customers into installing it. Good Job!
The typical hiring process is not about finding the right candidate, it is about eliminating the wrong candidate. Therefore the tendency is to look for screening criteria that can be used by the Human Resources department to eliminate as many people as possible before the list of capable candidates is presented to the hiring department.

The HR department loves a checklist, and a checkbox saying "college degree required" is an easy item to screen for.
Products like Excel should be the tools that help a person do the task at hand, they should not be the task at hand. Obviously, the infrastructure systems do not do what is needed to help the people do their jobs, so the Excel band-aid was applied. The real solution is to fix the infrastructure systems.
When you get the mental masturbations of speed tests that seeming place ultimate speed above all other considerations. In the race to be the fastest browser, Firefox dumped a boat load of functionality that many would have preferred to keep instead of the speed improvement.
It seems as if Apple has been in too much of a rush lately. The iPhone was pushed out too quickly. It should have been held back, like the Apple's home eavesdropper^H^H^H^H^H^H speaker.
Well, that's pretty damn useless without a definition of "business English"....
I've seen some outlines of it, but I doubt if you are ever going to see a strict definition that will satisfy you. Business English, like most other languages is a living, changing concept. But it does exist.
is Business English. Business English is the international language of commerce. It is used in offices around the world for business transactions. When I visited Europe for business, when I was in offices, the language spoken was business English, rgardless of the native tongue of the people in the office.
.
So perhaps the question should be - is Business English taking over American English and British English? With the corollary - is Business English closer to British English or American English?
Additionally, this would allow the broadcasters to charge fees directly to the viewers in order to watch OTA programs. So if you went OTA in order to avoid monthly cable subscription fees, kiss those days goodbye. You too will be charged the monthly $8 ESPN tax.

Change it to something, anything, besides his goal of turning the Internet over to the money-hungry ISPs.
Firefox Quantum Is 'Better, Faster, Smarter, and Much Less Functional than Chrome' now that most plug-ins do not work.

So now, Firefox will be tracking and harvesting the sites I visit? Wow, Mozilla really is turning Firefox into a Chrome clone.

Well, if poor designs are bugs, then yes.
thx. :)

A problem that google needs to work harder to resolve. I do not believe that google does not have the knowledge and the clout to resolve this issue.

With the current crop in Washington DC, do you think that would be difficult?
Don't forget the wonderful security we've seen in internet-connected devices....
