Mozilla's Post-Purge Feedback Is Strongly Negative
— Ace

I'm heartened that Mozilla users are disheartened.

Most "sad" comments since the company
began tracking them

Companies make these kind of cowardly decisions because they fear the backlash if they don't give in to the Leftist Thought Police.

They should be made to fear more the backlash if they do.

1 I didn't send them feedback but I've uninstalled Firefox both at work and home.

Does Mozilla know when people uninstall their browser?

I mean, do they get notified somehow?

8 @2 There are browser usage statistics...I don't think that they can tell that you've uninstalled but they can tell that you've stopped using.

10 It was the backlash that they did not fear and did not expect that got A and E's attention. The Left's victim status group temper tantrum is expected; the silent majority's reaction isn't.

11 Mozilla's feedback page won't render on the version of FireFox I'm using at work because the IT Department is protecting me from installing anything new.

I'm amused.

20 Graphs are good, but I don't think a one-year graph shows what you're discussing. Rather, it merely suggests the Firefox stinks, or that users are more inclined to give feedback when dissatisfied.

40 Yep, the Right needs to get better at taking scalps. Personalize and polarize. It also means concentrating fire on the vulnerable. College professors have tenure, so attacking them when they go full progtard isn't the useful. You rarely get a scalp. They have to actually commit a crime or something. It's also professors with tenure go full progtard, they have protection. I still think Comcast is more vulnerable to to pressure tactics than many think. Advertisers that work with racist, mob snitch Sharpton are a good target.

I speak from a position of ignorance, so bear with me. If Firefox and Pale Moon both use the same OSS baseline, does Mozilla manage/write that OSS?

80 With so many browsers out there now, this may not kill Mozilla off but it will definitely knock them down a notch or two.

I use Firefox cuz I can't stand IE and I need one that is compatico with all my bill paying sites. And this lousy Win 8 OS might crash if I try to change browsers; I'm not at all confident that I could recover the computer from that.

I'll just note for fun that one of the issues with MNInsure (MN's OCare site) is it wouldn't work with a number of browsers. I'd call that a feature, myself.

90 we lose either way. In fact, it might be worse if companies can not just fire the target of progressive fascism to solve the problem. Now every company will have to scrutinize all candidates for potential "enemy of the state" type issues, and anyone with ambition will avoid anything that goes against the fascist doctrine. The entire business community is sufficiently "encouraged" and progressivism takes another leap toward controlling everyone's life. The only solution is to turn it around and do enough damage to a site like OKfascism, that *they* think twice before using these tactics.

98 Facts:
1. Google is the prime financier behind Firefox / Mozilla. As in 85% of their funding comes from Google.
2. Chrome is100% Google.

Supposition:
Google was in a very strong position to influence the decision to oust Eich. I suspect they supported the decision, perhaps even driving it, but that is just my belief.

Conclusion:
If you are trying to show disapproval of Mozilla's actions, switching to Chrome is probably not a good way to do so.

I switched to Pale Moon,and have been very happy with it so far.

Posted by: Anon Y. Mous at April 07, 2014 01:07 PM (IN7k+)

99 As I understand it, Mozilla created Firefox from "shareware", open source files. I think they had to keep it "open-source". Therefore, yes, the browser is built using many of the same source code. However, Mozilla doesn't get a nickel from Pale Moon.

103 I've heard that Pale Moon is pretty much in bed with Mozilla so I've looked for alternatives. I don't want to support Google or Microshaft since they also have proven themselves to be suckers of the governments cock. I only use their other things if I absolutely have no other choice (like online translators). I've been checking out the Maxthon and Comodo Dragon browsers. So far so good on both. But chances are they probably donate all profits to the Democrat party as well.

106 Off topic: Been listening to the Texas Senate open hearing on open carry today. Someone from the University of Austin is arguing against open carry because it might be a Â“triggerÂ”. It might trigger severe reactions in victims of violence. 8-9% of the US has this form of PTSD, she says. She hasnÂ’t (yet) said bloodbath. But if 10% of the US will be set off by open carry of guns, thereÂ’s no other conclusion. CanÂ’t imagine how any still exists in the other states that already have open carry. Oh, and if we have open carry, people who have PTSD will avoid Texas, resulting in economic depression. Good God.

108 100 As I understand it, Mozilla created Firefox from "shareware", open source files. I think they had to keep it "open-source". Therefore, yes, the browser is built using many of the same source code. However, Mozilla doesn't get a nickel from Pale Moon. But it shows up as Mozilla when doing browser statistics.

110 ok i really am not a legal geek either. but what does this mean with licensing and does that make Palemoon a subsidiary of firfox or not? wiki Like Firefox, Pale Moon is released open source, with the source code residing under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 except for parts relating to branding. Unlike Firefox, however, the Pale Moon binaries may only be redistributed under certain conditions.[4] According to the author, this is to prevent the possibility of any confusion with tainted versions. The project's name, logo, and other artwork are the intellectual property of M.C. Straver, and cannot be used in other third party Firefox builds or other related products without the author's prior permission.[14

Business is business and at the point where an employee becomes a liability, they needed to worry about market share and image. My fault with them is that they thought they took the easy solution, but there is no appeasing fascist and bullies. The only workable solution was a punch in the nose, but they were too cowardly to risk their company on that approach. I would have told them to turn it around and give a full throttled attack on OKstassi. Make it about free speech, democracy, and fascism. Have the other side call for a truce.

By boycotting Mozilla for their (politically motivated) actions, are we doing the same thing they did to Eich?

Problem:

I think it sets a dangerous precedent when we start firing people and publicly trashing them because they support a political opinion different from our own.

For this reason, I'm pissed at Mozilla.

On the other hand, firing Mozilla (using a different browser) and posting angry comments online is the only thing I am really capable of doing to protest that action.

So... frustrated.

No, you're wrong. Pale Moon is not run by the same company as Firefox (Mozilla). It is based on the same open source code.

I personally do not have anything against the code that is behind Firefox. I am displeased by the management of the Mozilla Corporation. So, by switching to Pale Moon, I have stopped interacting with the management of Mozilla. True, Pale Moon is based on the same code, but the code is neutral. It is just a tool.

As a bonus, Pale Moon has optimized the code, so Pale Moon runs a bit snappier for me than Firefox did, plus all my add-ons still work.

207 Count me in as well. I've been using Pale Moon for a while now, and added Codomo's IceDragon as a secondary (Also built on Mozilla architecture.) browser. I may give the Epic browser a try, I already have SRWare Iron, but I'm not really a fan of Chrome-style browsers (I have it to access those sites that are blocking Mozilla-style browsers).

I sorta prefer IceDragon (a slightly lighter RAM foot-print), but either one works for me... http://is.gd/hNdcBO (I recommend opting out of their integrated DNS function, the browser will run faster without it.) And, I all of my preferred Add-ons work just fine with this browser.

And, for those of you who have uninstalled FF, if you have Glary Utilities, you may want to do a registry defrag. I gained about a 15+ % reduction in space after the uninstall.

Or how she freaked when she got a cut on her face and her friend was going to clean it with a cotton ball dipped in peroxide. So during that I looked up if it had a phobia name which it did. And as I turned my phone to show her as the page kept loading the classic grade school Santa with a cotton ball beard loaded and she proceeded to recoil in fear from it.

236 DefenseNews: US experts have found out how to extract carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas from seawater. Then, using a catalytic converter, they transformed them into a fuel by a gas-to-liquids process. They hope the fuel will not only be able to power ships, but also planes. ... The predicted cost of jet fuel using the technology is in the range of three to six dollars per gallon, say experts at the US Naval Research Laboratory, who have already flown a model airplane with fuel produced from seawater. Dr Heather Willauer, an research chemist who has spent nearly a decade on the project, can hardly hide her enthusiasm. Â“For the first time weÂ’ve been able to develop a technology to get CO2 and hydrogen from seawater simultaneously, thatÂ’s a big breakthrough,Â” she said, adding that the fuel Â“doesnÂ’t look or smell very different.Â” That means instead of relying on tankers, ships will be able to produce fuel at sea.

249 Been thinking about this issue. I think we made a mistake in the Phil Robertson affair. We stopped when AandE reversed and put him back. We were civilized and polite, that is seen as weakness by the enemy. We should have insisted the head of the network be thrown under the bus. Had we done that Moz Corp and the GheyKK would have received the proper lesson and not started this.

Mitchel Baker, Chief Lizard Wrangler and generally good person and stalwart in the Open Source movement must, I'm really sad to even type.., must now lose her job. That is what we should be insisting on. Eich can't possibly be restored after Baker threw him under the bus so the only way to balance the equation AND send a message to corporate America is for her to go. Intolerance and bigotry in the workplace has to be a firing offense whether done for malice or fear of the GheyKK.

They must fear us more than they fear the politically correct thought police. It is clear that appealing to their better nature or morality won't work. Fear. It works.

Except that all the advertisers and social media companies run their own scripts. If you go to a page like NRO, I see there are 16 different entities wanting to run one or more scripts. I allow NRO (and disqus if I want the comments), but disallow all the advertisers and social media bullshit.

I also set my default search engine to Bing, because FF/Mozilla gets most of its revenue from Google. So the less I use Google, I figure, the more it hurts FF/Mozilla. I hate Nazis. My Jewish father fled Nazi-occupied France and went back a couple of years later in a U.S. Army uniform to fight the Nazis. And when he died ten years ago, we had his ashes placed at Arlington National Cemetery. If you could bring him back for five minutes and tell him were he's been the last ten years, he'd be surprised, but not displeased. And I won't dishonor my father by doing business with the moral descendants of the monsters he fought to save the world from.

More heads will roll. The vetting will continue. Right now, we're seeing takedown attacks on prominent industry leaders like Eichs and entertainment figures like Duck Dynasty's Phil. The Left will work its way down from there--and make no mistake, these aren't just Gay Mafia hits. It's the Left at work in toto. They/It are the Barzini in this deal.

In business, it's one of the primary functions of marketing experts to identify what/who are known as Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs). KOLs are the prominent, respected professionals in a given industry whom you attempt to influence, to bring over to your side (or your company's side, rather). What's going on now appears to be a kind of perverse inverse of that KOL identification process: attack these KOLs and generate fear among those who look to them for example and inspiration.

So yeah: this wasn't just a random takedown by the cheap date equivalent of Match dot com. It's way bigger than that, and way smarter.

That's the difference the libtard fascists don't understand. The comparison only makes sense if you assume the backlash against Mozilla is for being "pro gay rights". So they say we should shun the computer because Turing's work was instrumental in Computer Science, and Turing was certainly gay. Where that observation fails is in reality. The backlash against Mozilla is for ousting their CEO for political speech, especially political speech they agree with. It's not because we "hate the homosexuals".

Unfortunately, seawater to fuel is going to be extremely energetically expensive, so nothing short of the carriers with nuclear plants will be doing much of it. And probably not making it while underway at speed. There's not THAT much reactor power to spare while shoving a CVN through the water.

We used to have nuclear power in cruisers and destroyers. Clinton put a ton of quiet back-channel pressure on the Navy to retire all of those hulls. Often early, with plenty of potential service life remaining.

I've seen this personally (I'm not an LEO myself).

Bad drunk was kicking off in public. Had just caused a traffic accident and was then proposing to use a tire iron to beat on the guy he had run into.

Off-duty cop hears the fuss and comes to see what's going on. He badges the drunk, who promptly takes a swing at him with the tire iron. Not intimidated one bit.

Cop's sidearm comes out and things get loud and tactical for a minute or so, ending with drunk on ground with .38 muzzle to the back of his head, waiting for on-duty officers to arrive and complete the arrest.

361 Yeah, the energy costs would be huge. The article seems to claim that is included in the estimated $3-6/gallon cost. Useless estimate if they didn't do a full cost accounting. So this could be BS hype, but they appear to be claiming a new process that uses less electricity and is therefore much more cost effective. But the article is light on details and long on hype.

The department failed to follow state guidelines by counting each aggravated assault or battery as one incident, not each victim as it should have , leading to the under-reporting because of all the incidents that involved more than one victim. That means that Chicago statistics on aggravated assaults and aggravated batteries, which include shootings in which someone was wounded but not killed, were under-reported to the Illinois State Police and FBI.

391 "Chicago police did not count about a quarter of the aggravated assault and aggravated battery victims in its crime statistics in 2012, a year in which the city was under a national microscope because of rising violence, an audit by the cityÂ’s top watchdog found."

I suspect that most large cities under Democratic control (damn near all of 'em these days) are doing very similar things.

I've been watching the San Francisco police pencil-whip their crime reporting for decades now. To downplay both property crime and violent crime.

On the property crime front, I've seen SFPD refuse to take a report from a citizen unless the amount stolen exceeded the grand-theft threshold.

And on violent crime, they go so far as to count deaths which were almost certainly murders as "suicides" if there is any way they can spin it as being such. This is to distract from SFPD's horrible homicide clearance rate, which last I looked was under fifty percent.

Yes, that's true. If you off someone in the City By The Bay, you have better than even odds of getting away totally scot-free with the killing.

Thus, they are convinced that your change of browser is irrelevant. Soon you will find that your new product is also tied in with the Source of All Progress.

The harder Mozilla gets backlashed, the more urgently they will try to get a Statement of Principles out of every developer to prove this case. Someone is surely working on that project right now. And go ahead, call him Shirley.

The Belmont Club column reminds me of some dialogue from the movie A Man for All Seasons when Thomas More's son-in-law (I forget the name and I'm not going to search for it) spoke about the value of eliminating laws protecting heretics (going from a very shaky memory here). More responds by asking what then if the devil turns on you after all the trees protecting him are removed.

422 The Pale Moon Guru reflects the same misinformation that even FOX news is spreading, that prop 8 was a "ban" or actively removing legal gay weddings (as a Fox commenter said earlier). It was not a ban, nor did it make gay weddings illegal. Gavin Newsome decided he'd allow gay weddings to take place - he was the one doing something illegal. Amazing how the left is rewriting history literally as it's written.

425 Mozilla defended its bottom line that is what I expect a corporation to do Posted by: Rightrt at April 07, 2014 05:37 PM (hgoUH) What bottom line? The 5% of the population who are gay who might use their products? Some of whom are also appalled that a company would accept threats from supporting companies i.e. Rarebit and OkCupid to remove their testing products and who helped facilitate a petition drive, including Mozilla employees demanding Mozilla's newly appt. CEO be removed. A company that would be complicit in demanding that the CEO resign, who was the founder of the company, had been with Mozilla for 16 years and had not one shred of evidence of ever having discriminated against a gay employee he supervised. A CEO who donated privately to a political group working to maintain the traditional definition of marriage in CA. He didn't bring this to work. He didn't ask other employees to join him in the action. A company who allowed their CEO's personal political donation activity, which is only published because of govt. regulations requiring such donations to be public because of the amount, to be hunted down and then distributed as if he had been found giving money to gun runners(oh wait , that was a Democrat who did that). A company, because there are some board members who support gay marriage, decided that the CEO's private legal donations didn't sit well with them, so he must not be permitted to rise to CEO, although it was fine that he was there for 16 years in other capacities. And once he was named CEO, to immediately begin to lynch him publically, so as to provide a "cause" to fire him or ask him to resign. This is so dangerous on many levels. Eich could sue, but that would take years to wind through the courts. Meanwhile, unless people with principals stand up the only way they can to fight this, the gay mafia and their progressive overlords who find them useful idiots will continue to be emboldened and will do this to as many others as they can. There was even a Slate article encouraging such action.

Mr. Moo Moo, depending upon the application, that application remains part of the OS until you restart your computer. Hence, there is a VERY good likelihood the application in question (e.g. FF) REMAINS the default browser (and WILL continue to send messages) until a system re-boot has occurred.

445 Those of you who don't wish to use browsers made by left wing bigots and fascists, try slimboat browser.

447 So, the problem I'm having with arguing with people over this is that they say we are violating their civil rights by denying them marriage.

In their minds, I also assume it's a civil right to marry an 8 year old child, a cat, or a head of cabbage. If not, their logic is illogical.

448 As was noted @4 and 5, Seamonkey and Pale Moon are good alternatives to Firefox. They are based on the same underlying code, but are not part of Mozilla. The plugins for Firefox work with both.

449 Without reading 450+ comments: I installed Comodo Ice Dragon.= secure version of Firefox. Comodo Dragon = Google Chrome.
Works great and fast.

450 I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. I dumped FF as a matter of principle, Mitchell, you F*****g BOSSY bitch. Come get me.....I'm waiting.

451 You pick a topic and Google/Chrome has done things that would make a progressive smile about it. I don't pick which free program I use based on the actions of the company but how it works. Go with Avant Browser. It uses Firefox rendering engine but it is not Firefox. It also can render a page with a Chrome engine and IE engine.

452 438 Uninstalled Firefox at home and at work. The appeasers of brownshirts will not be getting any of my business.

Hope you did not pay for Firefox. What kind of business transaction is there when the product is free.

453 I know I'm late to the party, but one thing that will actually hurt Firefox is if they get bad reviews for their app in the Google play store. I see some people have actually started doing that. I heard (not sure if it's true...) that if they get too many 1 star ratings, Google will bump them off the store...

454 @457:"What kind of business transaction is there when the product is free."

Mozilla has a financial arrangement with Google wherein it gets compensated every time its users use the Google search installed as default in the bar. Also, all FF users who click on Google ads deliver a commission from Google to Mozilla. Mozilla gets several hundred million a year from that arrangement with Google alone. So if a lot of business owners across the country like #438 to whom you were replying were to take FF off all their company machines they could definitely put a dent in Mozilla's bottom line.

455 @29 and @51--is there a Mac version of Pale Moon?

Posted by: AnnaS at April 07, 2014 07:31 PM (Npv5I)

456 @ 453 Replying to my own msg, but I want to add that Opera is also an excellent Firefox alternative. Opera has no relation to Mozilla, or Firefox code, and has a good selection of extensions, which is the real calling card of Firefox. Opera has Ghostery, adblock , and scriptkeeper, and many others. Worth a look. Been around for a long time. Recommended.

457 Pale Moon = faster internet and no Mozilla

The only addon issue I had after switching to Pale Moon and transferring all of my Firefox info was the loss of the Amazon search engine. Everything else is working fine.

Also, a sidenote:

Startpage = no tracking information, and better than DuckDuckGo

Now I just need someone that's not Mozilla to make a better 'Mozilla' Thunderbird.
