Or just set the few relevant settings manually, if you need nightly/dev edition.

Until the next dumb shit Mozilla does without telling its users.

Except I've heard about every change from here. And as I read the nightly changelogs, it's not that hidden actually.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yes, you're the exception, not the rule.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you need to use nightly, you're already the exception to the rule. That means you need to read the changelogs.

[โ€“] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No you don't. Why do you need to read the changelogs?

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

When you use nightly, you're using an unstable application that is likely to have many bugs that cause freezing or crashing. Reading the changelogs is a necessity when using unstable software. Using nightly builds of any application requires additional care on the part of the user.

Just because it requires it doesn't mean most will follow it. Voting requires being informed, most people aren't. Driving cars requires paying attention, many people are on their phones while driving.

I could go on. You're describing an ideal.

The manufacturer isn't responsible for people being on their phones tho. What should they do? They can just warn you, and notice you about best practices.

Which most people don't follow, which is exactly the point I'm making.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Then it's still their fault. Fuck the people not following. If I'm not following the rule of not jumping from my window that's my fault.

Yes, I read the manual of everything I use. I have read every law book back to front, know it by heart and will never ever unknowingly commit any crimes. The car I drive, I know how to repair, no mechanic needed, I write all my software because I've read every guide known to man, I am in fact the perfect human being with no flaws and am up to date on every rule there is.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

No. But I know the important parts, and I don't blame the manufacturer for when I don't.

The things I said apply to the people that need to use FF nightly/dev. And those people should know their stuff.
