Is it just me, or does this sounds completely unacceptable. Sloughing more users? Things like this are why it's hard not to be cynical. I doubt anyone is going to switch to Firefox because our extension signing is safe. (though I do think we should have some form of signing) But they will gladly switch away when anything breaks, particularly when we reduce the activation energy needed to switch: If their extension won't work in new Firefox, it doesn't matter so much that they won't have that extension in, say, Chrome. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
