I had a nice answer typed up yesterday on this thread and lost it completely when I went to post it. Vanished out in cyberland somewhere, where ever lost posts go.

I've threatened several times to chuck FF over the updates. All I could ever think of was, "what were they thinking" over the rapid updates. The reasons I stayed with FF was because I could have it my way, unlike all the other locked down browsers, and because it had no vested interests to be served being independent.

Finally I found an add on in the nightly builds that eliminated the version add on compatibility check and then turned off updating. I like everyone else spent a while getting the browser just how I liked it only to have it crater next update.

Then extensions started drying up. Those that were there, weren't any more and it wasn't hard to figure out why. Updates for the browser were dismantling the extensions every time there was a new one. I started to look for a new browser to stay with but none really appealed to me.

I'm teed at M$, for their treatment of IE. M$ didn't need to update IE much after it won the browser wars. It was like a forgotten child. Not to mention the IE has so many security problems as a result of their victory in the browser wars that anything was near better than running IE.

Chrome is no better as I value privacy of my web use more than anything else just about. Chrome wasn't given to the public to use out of the goodness of Googles' heart. Chrome is a spy machine on where you go and what you do on the net. It feeds Google's insatiable desire to know and gather so that the data can be sold to advertisers and if there is anything I hate more than loss of privacy (and they are very few) it's commercials and ads. I don't want to reward someone for behavior I despise.

In the end I've remained with FF through all this crap of rapid update. It's been trying. I've had to say good bye to old friends I really liked in the form of add-ons. I and many others tried to tell Mozilla they were screwing up but it all fell on death ears.

Now, after the damage is done, they've finally bought the vowel that makes it all come together to make sense of it all. Dang near too late I guess is better than never but it's a slim thing to be proud of.
