Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Why did @firefox change the startpage layout? Lots of empty space above the logo that pushes the shortcut icons down and out of sight, even if you don't display the search bar. And why is it not possible to decide how many shortcuts/columns there are? The only workaround afaik being to enlarge the size.
Not impressed. The startpage is the thing I use most, if it is not easily accessible it costs me a lot of time.

@2r11

Other Browsers are available. Maybe we need to let @firefox know that we are ready and willing to use them.

As long as you chose a browser that doesn't use the blink engine... Giving google power is immoral.

Because mozilla is shit and a google vassal. No doubt these changes will somehow enable ads
