Mozilla is getting retarded. When they say that most of addons are tested and are working. It's a LIE. Read the fine print. EVERY binary addon is incompatible by design and has to be at least rebuilded. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656331. And then they say that interfaces are not frozen anymore. Well AFAIK most firefox interfaces are used from javascript addons not from binary addons, because of "lacking API" nature of the scripting language. Your browser won't crash but the addons won't work either. Now at least for binary addons they have a solution. Use js-ctypes. Great. Now you can go back from C++ XPCom programing to C programming. So much for fake going forward technology wise. Basically what build mozilla hype is slipping away. Even now I still don't have all the addons working in FF4. Even less with FF5. Goodbye TWAIN addons, goodbye barcode readers addons used in enterprise applications. Well or welcome back IE. Mozilla said that they don't like supporting 10 year old API. Um ... what's wrong with 2 years?
Not to mention that most non technical users are using the same browser at home and at work. So by saying fuck enterprise users they are also saying fuck home users. Great job Mozilla. Great job!!!
