Personally, I don't believe that people should be banished from discussing things unless they agree with them already. Otherwise, there's nothing to discuss. But if you don't like it when people speak disagreeably about things, are you not contributing to that exact same environment?

It's also unfair to assume that anyone who does not love everything about [product] automatically is a hater of [product]. I haven't seen any communities devoted to only praising Firefox, but you could certainly make one of your own.

They're already going that direction. Mozilla needs a change of heart, not just a change of income

I wondered why this was downvoted before I saw the original message in my notifications

yeah, thanks Mr/Ms obvious, you described exactly the reason of why it does not look vanilla at all, that big giant bottom ad banner

Anyway, my point is that I would assume Firefox would look different if there was evidence the user caused this banner by accidentally injecting malware into the browser within Linux.

Text fragment linking already works in the latest version of Firefox, although you'll need to install an extension like this one to create links.

What part of it doesn't? Besides the massive banner added the bottom of the screen, everything looks like it's the default. That icon in the top-left corner comes preinstalled. The search engine is still the default. The only customization I see here is an extra theme and a couple of add-ons.

I gotta say, knowing it's a bit (but based on IRL testing) makes it even better. It's like SomethingAwful met Mr Robot

All I can tell you is what I read on the linked page because I haven't analyzed the bill itself.

Looks like the original post disappeared.

Right before it was, OP claimed in a comment that part of their post was a joke. Part of me hopes this is an exercise in technically correct creative writing, and based on their account...

Is there no such thing on Android already?

Usually, Apple devices are limited on features, but I've never seen an Android app pull this off.

Firefox doesn't let you use alt text anywhere, except for the most ridiculously niche location.

People who want to see it when they browse webpages get nothing.

It's only if you

  • open a PDF in Firefox
  • and then choose to edit it
  • and then choose to add an image
  • and then choose to add alt text to it
  • and then choose to generate alt text instead

If Mozilla cares about accessibility, what a weird niche of a niche of a place to put it.
