Hi,

let me give a few comments on this as the maintainer of the openSUSE Firefox package. Not everything what Firefox upstream is doing is actually to my personal taste. But hey, who am I to push my taste to all openSUSE users to the price of heavily patching Firefox (which is not really easily allowed anyway), forking the "Firefox" experience compared to other editions and platforms etc.

I really would like everyone who is usually constantly expressing his dislike of changes in Firefox upstream to _report to upstream_! There is a far better chance of being heard and if there are still too few people complaining there afterwards then so be it.

Thanks, Wolfgang] A most valid point - to which I would like to make the following comments:

* perhaps comments/dislikes/suggestions expressed here by openSUSE users could be passed on "upstream" by someone, perhaps like yourself seeing as how close you are to Firefox being its maintainer and whose efforts have not gone unnoticed?; and

* what is exactly is "upstream"? Perhaps mention of an e-mail address or a mail list? Geez Basil, it's Mozilla Firefox. A few seconds on google

I have no time to give to google and so don't use it.

or mozilla.com and you surely will find the answer. Don't put the onus for your dislikes on someone else.

"Onus for [my] dislikes"?! Patrick, stop taking those little red pills. I've warned you about them in the past, alright already!
