Or don't waste your time, given Mozilla management does whatever it or Google wants? Just like with Google, nobody works on anything that won't help get them promoted?

There are decade-old "everyone agrees this sucks, please fix it" bugs in bugzilla that are ignored because nobody in management or development cares. It's not sexy, can't go on their resume, it won't let them give presentations at conferences, or get them on people's podcasts, or tweeted about...


76 ideas which were submitted are currently in development and 84 have been delivered.

Using your anger/passion to try and sway people to be even less involved doesn't help anyone.


OP stated that there are bugs over a decade old at this point, that still exist due to the concerns mentioned.

You didn’t address his statement nor his concerns.

You avoided that part of the conversation to basically tell him to shut up.

Address the issues first, like Firefox management team should be doing, but aren’t.

I’m with OP. Firefox is a horrible user experience. And it’s that way by design. Couldn’t have Google stop paying Mozilla’s bills now could they?


ReadCarlBarks linked to where you can vote on ideas.

KennyBlanken said don't bother to vote on ideas because they wont listen.

I pointed out that many ideas are in development or have been delivered (i.e. they do listen).

The rest seems pretty boring to discuss and unlikely to be a productive conversation. I'm already bored trying to explain this.


>76 ideas which were submitted are currently in development and 84 have been delivered.

So what? Does it invalidate the critics of glacial speed of making other improvements?


It invalidates the assertion that the ideas page isn't listened to and that it's a waste of time to vote on the features.
