IMHO, this would be Firefox's first step towards corruption, and ruin. Use your Calculus training, and stretch the limits of Firefox's "Money-function" to the limits, and see where it can lead.
Agreed with everything you said EXCEPT that it should read "Firefox's latest step towards corruption".

People have been living with Firefox's silent embedded and money-generating Google tracking and its limiting EULA for years already. It's a big reason I use Seamonkey instead. See also their dismissive behavior toward the Mozilla suite, toward Thunderbird, and toward forks and distribution projects.

MoFoCo is not your friend. They like your money.

I confess. I've been using Opera lately.

Holy crap!

You're kidding. Hang your scaly head in shame.

I think I'd use the Fireweasel before Opera, based only on its reputation for incompatibility (never mind the closed source part).

Is it because Opera's lighter and faster than the Monkey, or because of a general distaste for the MoFoCoDojo?
