Well, it's not very relaxing when users like me were using addons on mobile perfectly fine, and then all of sudden there is a new stable version whose lack of support of addons was not considered a bug that should have been tackled before the release, and we are told that the regressed functionality will only be restored "eventually"

Mozilla has to try hard to keep losing market share.
They are demonstrating they have a knack for it.
I‘m a Firefox user on desktop but I see their poor choices around extensions haven’t ended. They’ve borked the extensions on desktop before as well.

At this point forking the browser and the foundation is the only sane solution.
The charter should be: we support the browser for dorks first and always, and work on technical problems for dorks second.
Turns out that I was right saying that any corp supporting diversity in tech is a corp that has no business being in tech.
