    If people are misinterpreting mozilla's legalese, that is mozilla's fault for making these terms vague, broad and easy to misinterpret. Also i am not convinced your interpretation …

    Disabled auto-update until this is clarified or alternatives can be found. I for one don't agree to these 'terms of use'. If people are failing to understand Mozilla's legalese, it…

    Apple's 1 billion+ users across the world should protest this ludicrous overreach of power since the UK is essentially declaring digital sovereignty over all of them. In the meanti…

    A black sharpie over the offending led indicators will fix that. Now you can enjoy your sleep uninterrupted by dreams of manhunts and mephistophelian bargains.

    - An addon like vimium shouldn't need too many updates so auditing and disabling auto-updates might be worth it. - Firefox has 'recommended' addons. In addition some of the more po…
