Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I am a BIG Firefox fan, but I do wonder why there have been so little new features in the 2023 releases.
Yes, working on a migration wizard and search improvements are nice, but these won't spark real excitement within the community.

In the meantime, people are posting many interesting ideas on Mozilla Connect and giving the Tab Grouping feature 1600+ votes.
Why doesn't the Firefox team pick one of these to work on?
It really feels like Firefox has entered maintenance mode. Quite sad to see when you remember the great stuff that was built in the previous years.

Where's the roadmap, the vision, the enthusiasm?

Nice! It just didn't feel like Reddit around here without one of these comments.

Looking forward to the one asking why Firefox is focusing on new features instead of fixing their old bugs and UIs, because that's why its bleeding users 🤞

I was asking a sincere question. Am I not allowed to do so in your opinion?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Of course you're allowed? The Internet is all about opinions. I just sincerely didn't feel at home without comments like this.
