Just as people could install ubuntu and "just use wine" if they want to run windows programs without paying for windows.
I think iceweasel is much closer to firefox than wine is to windows!
that was not my point.

I occasionally use Firefox and other offerings from Mozilla. And so I'd be very willing to directly donate money to them, as well. However, a lot of their recent actions have seriously dissuaded me from doing so. Desktop Firefox, for example, has gotten progressively worse over time. A lot of useful functionality has been stripped out, and the Chrome-like UI these days is much less efficient and effective than the Fi…

Oh look. It's a post about Mozilla, so it's a chance for Pacabel to air out his/her laundry list of complaints about Mozilla yet again. > I'd be very willing to directly donate money to them, as well. I don't believe you.
Yes, I think Mozilla has collectively made some very bad choices these last few years. And, yes, I will express my displeasure when Mozilla and their actions are the topic of discussion. I know I'm not alone in these beliefs. Just look at how Firefox's market share has plunged, for example. Look at how Persona saw minimal adoption. Notice how Firefox OS is suffering from a very similar lack of adoption. Mozilla has a…
You know what's annoying? Airing out your full list of complaints on every post about Mozilla. You're doing it again with this comment.
If it's a post about Project X, then feel free to criticize Project X, but don't derail whole threads by complaining about Projects Y, Z, A, B and C.

When the problems no longer exist, I'll have nothing to bring up. The ball's in Mozilla's court now when it comes to resolving these problems.
