Firefox Hello

Seriously, I've lived in more than half of the European countries for a while, and never ever EVER saw such a shitty internet service as in Spain over their network. Lack of service for hours every day, substandard speeds... It made me anticipate a move to Portugal by one year because of their shitty service.

Super! Looks great works great too!

Just what does the 'powered by Telefonica' bit mean?

Telefonica is a global telecommunications company. (I've never seen them in the US, but they are very common in latin america) Not sure what they have to do with a web video chat system.

To add insult to injury, there is no simple way of disabling the functionality[1]. Firefox Hello is ludicrous.

[1] about:config is not a valid value of simple
