From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is such a storm in a teacup. Someone making the manual checks at Mozilla fucked up and the situation was quickly admitted. I don't know what else to wish, other than that the failure wouldn't have happened in the first place. Sucks that it did. Now what sucks is that gorhill doesn't want to do put it back but it is what it is, luckily it was just the Lite version.

While I like a juicy conspiracy and fuck the sytsems and all, I don't think they were lying when they said that they'd put the addon back if gorhill just resubmitted it.
