Re: [Firefox] Firefox 30

I came very close last night to just dumping FF completely. As they continue to tinker under the hood, they are causing issues with other stuff such as add ons.

I think more and more that there is a Pale Moon in my future. Spending more time using it right now.

The problem is the add ons, not Firefox. Add on developers get plenty of notice for what's coming down the pike. From what I read, almost every one of those add ons failed because the developer didn't do something as simple as change the version number. A lot of those guys build those things and forget about them until they receive a notice that their throwaway email box is filled up with complaints that their add on doesn't work anymore.

Add-on devs failing to keep up with the latest releases of their "base platform"? ...sounds familiar. But, yeah, Mozilla should just stop all development while everyone else "catches up" ...that'll work. (I guess we're using different add-ons, 'cause I'm not having any problems at all.)

Mayhaps both.

Pale Moon is a good Browser but, except for the emblem, I really don't see any difference to FF. Its like using FF 28.

Give that person a CIGAR !

That's EXACTLY why so many of us are growing to LIKE Pale Moon !

It's not requiring us to learn over again how to do something which we already know how to do, and unlike FireFox, Pale Moon is not forcing us to bend over and ASSume the position, without any lube.

Pale Moon has publicly promised to not use the newer FF UI (newer than version 28 or version 24.x ESR), but will keep adding the security updates as they are issued, which additionally proves that it is possible to do so.
