Well with the current statement of firefox to stop support addons I have no interest in firefox anymore. Firefox -to me- has always been that "different from the rest" browser. The browser that put developers instead of end-users ain the first place. To provide the richest environment, and to have an opensource (used to be gpl compatible) alternative to the conglomerate company feelings. With this future firefox has died. It is no longer anything resembling the original idea, and instead will just follow the masses and try to be the "popular browser". Instead of feature rich one. Now I hear you say that extensions still work: but those are just silly extensions, not ones that actually hook up into the core of firefox and modify their behaviour. Extensions such as "greasmonkey", "downthemall", "chatzilla" etc will no longer be supported, things that kept bringing me back to firefox. Now firefox is still opensource, and the opensource community has to me always shown that it is capable of overcoming bad decisions easily. Especially when only a part feel the decision is bad and others feel it is good there is a good term opensource ideas use: forking. Unix forked itself, bsd did, many other ideas did (firefox did in the past already with iceweasel). So I'm wondering: is there any substantial part of the community that feels that firefox has to keep supporting add-ons to provide a rich environment? Instead of copying chrome's model of providing a single browser and only minor things?
