The teenage birthrate in Arkansas will triple. Babies will be given a "birth-steak" to cuddle with. Hep B will decimate the population. Front teeth will become (?) a thing of the past. Or, of the future. Sesame Street is replaced by “Sesame Exit,” where the only lesson is how to leave the state quietly before asking too many questions, but the puppets are immediately investigated for being "unelected felt officials".. Ken Burns releases a 36-hour documentary called Arkansas: Previously On PBS, consisting entirely of slow zooms on empty TV dinner trays while a fiddle weeps. And then is banned for even thinking about Arkansas. Without PBS Kids, Arkansas children are raised by the Weather Channel, developing advanced storm awareness and absolutely no concept of letters, believing the alphabet ends at Q. “Antiques Roadshow” is outlawed after too many residents learn that history has resale value. Arkansas replaces PBS with “DIYBS,” a channel devoted entirely to fixing problems that didn’t exist until PBS left. “Masterpiece Theatre” becomes “Masterpiece Trailer,” a gritty prestige drama about a couch that’s been on the porch since 1997. Go figure.

I use FF on ALL my devices ALL the time. I have absolutely no issues with it except for the once-a-year crash that forgets the tabs I had opened. If I lose a few tabs that I can't remember, maybe they weren't worth having open? I agree that the mobile version kinda sucks, but since my wife does all the driving, I have hours to kill ha. Maybe it's my $250 android phone that's at fault? I and my wife and as many people I can convince use Thunderbird; everyone can (should) agree that Outlook new/old is a steaming mess. I donate a couple of bucks every month to Mozilla for all this. nbd. I delete, disable, ignore as much of the google ecosystem as is possible. I'm in the process of converting several Win machines to Linux as fast as I can. Work is all Windows and a few Macs; all of our infrastructure is Linux-based and has been running fine without incident for almost 20 years. And yes I have FF installed everywhere whether people use it or not because as the IT Guy, when I log onto a machine, I want to have FF there to use. Edge is a virus, etc. Call me old fashioned. Oh, wait, I have seven Amigas, and I was arguing with my boss's boss last week about the value of controlling one's own data and not relying on cloud services. lol get off my effing lawn
