The security restrictions regarding add-ons make sense, I believe Chrome has just recently adopted them due to the browser being owned by hacked websites.

Thunderbird was a silly waste of resources and should have been shelved well before they did.

In balance I'm quite happy Mozilla exist and have been generally positive.



Can you explain you disdain for thunerbird? I'm using it as my main email program and am quite happy with ti.


Mozilla have limited resources and a large number of more important projects that could do with those limited resources.


I explained it: it has important bugs and the team instead of saying "won't fix" said "it didn't occur".


I agree with you on some Thunderbird bug particulars, and I weighed in and in at least two cases helped turn things around:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668655

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579372

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478468

Sorry I was not earlier on the scene to help -- people are supposed to mail me when my early warning systems don't see a problem in the community.

Honest question: did you try to intervene or get involved in any of these cases?
