Comment Please stop this nonesense (Score 1) 237

I don't want to come across as a luddite but seriously stop with the bloat already. Firegerbil seems to have sacrificed efficiency to engage in an execrable arms race with Google. Please break this out into an add-on where it can die a lonely death and concentrate on improving the engine and other core optimisations.

Comment Fast dev cycle = better? (Score 1) 599

Firefox is getting the sand kicked in it's face on silicon beach performance-wise, there's no denying. I choose to stick with it for general useage and banking purposes because of the plugins (configurability), cross-platform familiarity and security model. But increasingly I find myself switching for some specific uses such as gaming etc. This change in release numbering to match Googles is a fool's errand since it does little to attract new users that empirically see that it's sluggish regardless, but it is doing a great deal to alienate Mozilla's core users for several reasons already cited. Please stop it and revert to the old, trusted model that saw Firefox grab a significant portion of the market share!

Comment FRENCH spacing??? (Score 1) 814

From the Wikipedia article:
"This was French spacing—a term synonymous with single space sentence spacing .....Double spacing, or placing two spaces between sentences (sometimes referred to as English spacing)......."

Given free choice, I can tell you this: I would sooner have my danglies ripped off and fed to the dogs than adopt another French system.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
