They have acknowledged the defect and are working on a fix. While this is a severe impact, I am still with Firefox. The are enough alternative browsers to tide over the problem for now. The fact that alternatives exist is the reason why we should support projects like Firefox.

>I am still with Firefox

that's kinda the problem. there's plenty of reasons to be "with" firefox still, but you shouldn't need reasons other than it's the best browser. when it starts requiring loyalty to be a user, that's a big problem.

For me, it is the best browser. Yes, this is a big fuck up, but it's not like this has caused me material harm. It's easy for me to switch over to Chrome until this is fixed, and I doubt the same mistake will be repeated in Mozilla.

I expect perfection from plane and car manufacturers, and I pay for that. My browser, I can live with an occasional hiccup.
