What is on Your Mind?

I apologize for offtopic.
It is sad to read this about the legend of FF. And until today I thought that this was only my personal problemma.
I used it for a long time until new releases broke compatibility with many plugins, including "vimperator".
Thanks to Neo for the detailed explanation, and yet very sad.

You are welcome.

For many people who are not web developers, it's hard to understand about browsers and browser compatibility and how browsers work with all the latest web-dev trends.

For me, it seems that FF is trying to carve a niche for themselves in the area of "user privacy" but they have taking it too far; breaking a lot of good applications, crippling modern Javascript apps, etc.

Firfox is simply "too extreme" and "breaks perfectly good Javascript functionality".... and since the users have no idea Firefox is breaking things, users have no idea why thing do not work. They comment to web sites things are not working, but if they would just try and user a great browser like Chrome or Safari, things would work better. For sure!!

I seriously advise diehard FF fans to keep using FF is they want to; but when viewing UNIX.COM use Chrome or Safari... both support all our Javascript features well, and we will be adding more, not less, modern JS features over time.

I simple do not have time to deal with the "extremism" of Firefox and their "we break the web and we do not care" attitude. It's no wonder FF keeps losing market share!

Hi all...


Just for the record...



Bizarrely enough, FF did actually notify me of a PM both the day before yesterday and yesterday. This is how I discovered previous missed PMs. I don't personally check for PMs to find out if I have had any.

And indeed FF is now at version 65.0, mine was updated yesterday.

And just for the record, once again:

We do not support Firefox here at UNIX.COM for the reasons I have mentioned many times.

We highly recommend you browse the forums using Chrome or Safari for the optimal user experience.

As you can see from the image below, I have four browsers installed on my development desktop. Firefox breaks things. We do not support FF and have no plans to support FF because of problems with their browser.
