I too find this to be a hostile action against the user. It's my computer.


It’s for common-case user security. Use the developer edition if you want to install unsigned extensions.


I'd like the option to disable checking for updates back, please.

Mozilla should let people buy, say, Tree Style Tab, and split revenue with the author.


I like small phones. Wife has a 6" screen and would probably go bigger though. She didn't think a 5.5 was big enough.

Yeah, I occasionally connect a linux laptop on both networks (ipforwarding OFF) with an http port open that exposes my fileserver mounted on the laptop via NFS. If that's too hard, I just pull the hard drives out and connect to my workstation with USB, also good for imaging the machines since they crash so dang often.


Or, preferably, simply seen as a childish use of rockets and nuclear energy while the tech is being used productively elsewhere.
