Thanks Mozilla, yet another opt-out "feature" in Firefox is all I've ever wanted.

Gah. What a shitty browser.
Wyatt Mitchell
WOWW THAT WAS TOUGH!
PHEW WEEE
Carter Bennett
Is that why I got those shitty fucking reccs?
Gabriel Cox
that has been in it for a month or two now, how slow are you?
Zachary Gray
>too lazy to click once in settings
you don't deserve to live
Benjamin Gutierrez
opt out sucks but it makes sense. most people are retards and never go into settings, and then complain a feature isn't there or didn't know. the most ideal situation would be to have a initial setting with all the options and you choose whether you opt in or out. and they can have "recommended" choices set for people who don't care and want "default" settings. that way nothing is truly opt out for people who care and no features are hidden from idiots.
Blake Turner
No, this is another thing with yet another checkbox.
This is what you're thinking of
support.mozilla.org
And this is the new thing
support.mozilla.org
Ian Hall
by initial setting I meant initial startup setting configuration on first install, click recommend for their default choices or advanced to manually select what you want to allow/deny. if they specifically catered to us, it'd be unusable for most people.
Hudson Stewart
I'd really prefer if upon updating they'd tell me that they've added this feature and give me the option to opt-out instead of doing it silently.
Adam Gomez
I think Firefox wants to make extension store where people will pay to install and they will keep a percentage off of that.
Isaac Jones
>pushing extensions on an unwitting public by monitoring their browsing habits is okay because the 3% of the population that can into computer are capable of opting out
Let me get right on using a browser who's developer openly demonstrates they don't care about user privacy. This is why we don't use chrome, and you waltz firefox around as an alternative? Hah.
Oliver Young
I agree with you.
on initial installation and your suggestion for each new update with any new features. new page with the updates and asking if you want to allow/deny. shame it'll never happen, though.
Ethan Roberts
well it's bad for my mom who won't be able to check it
now i see why opt-out is bad

Mother fucker shut the fuck up. It is a fucking slippery slope. You are the reason firefox has gone to shit in all these years
Cooper Collins
>This is why we don't use chrome, and you waltz firefox around as an alternative?
Yes, because FF still offers the option to disable that crap.
Nobody's saying Mozilla isn't a soulless company. Default FF is a privacy nightmare, but with a bit of research you can change that and while I don't think normalfags are capable of doing this, I'd wager Jow Forums users are.
Christian Richardson
Pozzilla shills in full force today.
Juan Campbell
it's nothing op, i just updated and it is NOT selected - i had tech feedback unchecked
Wyatt Smith
meanwhile chromium ungoogled runs like butter withiut having to tinker with the config
Tyler Brooks
see another day, another Shit-on-FF shill day
Christopher Miller
and here it is
>use google goy
Jaxson Brooks
Fucking jews at it again today.
Bentley Foster
>i just updated and it is NOT selected
Well, I just updated and it was selected, that's how I found out about it. Do you use user.js?
Zachary Hernandez
and here it is
>use bloatfox goy
Carter Turner
At one point Firefox had a checkbox that hid the close tab buttons on inactive tabs.
They removed that feature. I don't care what shit they add now, it doesn't deservecto be downloaded.
Joshua Clark
Install ungoogled chromium.
Samuel Adams
not rly
bpaste.net
and pyll's user.js on another profile, both not selected
my guess is if you had technical feedback unchecked it won't enable itself on it's own
there is literally nothing else to use besides some memes with webkit
Brody Jenkins
. . . they are hidden if you have more tabs and shown if you have few
Jordan Miller
>my guess is if you had technical feedback unchecked it won't enable itself on it's own
I have the Firefox Data Collection and Use boxes unchecked so that can't be it.
Michael Hughes
you're lying
it's under the general data collection so it can't enable itself without enabling it's parent as well
Gabriel Lopez
You're thinking of "Allow Firefox to make personalized extension recommendations" that is under Privacy & Security -> Firefox Data Collection and Use. I'm taking about "Recommend extensions as you browse" that is under General -> Browsing and that got opted-in automatically at FF65. They're 2 different things.
Jose Sanders
Joshua Martinez
Again, you're thinking of the wrong thing. This is what the thread is about.
Luis Peterson
>I'm taking about "Recommend extensions as you browse" t
nigga that's been there forever
already told you that in the beginning
Asher Lewis
yes yes i was thinking correct before you fooled me
Hudson Perez
So... what's the big deal? Open Settings, unmark it.
Connor Wilson
well i had it off'd from before [idk which version] and i updated from 64 to 65 via ftp.mozilla.org and it did not auto enable itself
Wyatt Kelly
Why on earth would you still be using Firefox? Was Quantum not a big enough of a "fuck you."
Gavin Morgan
>utterly CRIPPLES NewTabOverride and others in quantum
>all just to shill extensions in order to gain more user info
WHAT WENT SO FUCKING WRONG?

>quantum bad
only wintards think that
William Cox
Welp, I'm using Linux, and I think that. Quantum sucks shit. Using Waterfox as primary, and Brave as backup.
Hudson Brown
pre Quantum for linux sucked major ass
Evan Murphy
Not for me, it didn't. Which is why I'm using Waterfox.
Cameron Perry
you could use ff56 with firejail for meme extensions
Easton Sullivan
I use Waterfox with firejail.
Nicholas Kelly
it's just a cover for them to snoop on your browser history.
Parker Lopez
>tfw just lost my browser history
reeeee
history is a meme
use bookmarks
Adam Foster
> 2019
Firefox Internet for Africa
Kevin Rogers
What sort of retard actually asked for this?
