I note that you can turn off the warning for about:config, but I have no idea whether that was already an option in the previous version. I like the warning, anyway. |

said by chachazz:It's also the first item in the Release Notes. Yes ? And ? That's not to say the Moz Devs are copping to cash-cow API's like Facebook, this was expected and not surprising. Once I have the correct about:config syntax, that's going out there to slow the Bloat |

So, if the option is not enabled and you are not using it, then how is this Facebook chat thing considered to be bloat ? Does it adversely affect the operation of FF 17 in any way ? I mean, I have not enabled it. I usually keep Facebook open in another tab anyway and if someone sends me a message on Facebook, I then can easily respond to it. I have no plan to enable the browser chat option. But I am not against the Firefox people for adding this feature. |

There are others that consider this Mozilla software bloat, not just poor old me. In order to fully use all of the features, one must understand them, yes ? Are they all disclosed ? No, only in the changelog and the somewhat superfluous Mozilla Blog entries.
As with all software, questionable and unannounced changes as these are generally met with a fair amount of skepticism, as I am expressing mine, which, I have every right to as a Moz user.
I have no "real" issues with adding an opt-in Social API, yet for the "JoeUsers" there will be issues since all of these droves of users are not equipped to tweak settings to opt-in or opt-out in the event the feature(s) are disliked or misunderstood.
If Mozilla had vetted this prior to plain-old, let's release this sucker and see what happens, the reception may have been completely different.
Having been an IE MVP for four years, hypothetically, if this was IE in lieu of Mozilla, it would have been an outrage, guaranteed. |
