“Mozilla sets plan to dump Firefox add-ons, move to Chrome-like extensions”

Guys. What the fuck now again? This is the craziest thing I have heard in YEARS!

The sole reason why I, and many others, use Firefox, are precisely these proper UI extensions that XUL allows.

I don’t understand. Please stop, Mozilla.

Opera turned into a bad Chrome clone some years ago. Look at it now. There’s nothing left.

    My feelings, exactly.
    Pale Moon looks good:

    Firefox fork with some different goals, especially avoiding all the cruft like Firefox Hello. Most importantly, XUL will stay in Pale Moon and it already has some Pale Moon-only extensions (however, there is not 100% addon compability with Firefox addons).
