Why I hate crap interfaces and the Firefox developers

I’ve been working on a large project lately that is but a precursor to the even-larger project we’ll be doing in about another five months.

This sub-project involves a lot of researching on the internet and a whole lot of data entry.

For this sub-project, I’ve customized my browser extensively to make certain tasks easier and quicker. In the new Firefox way of doing things many of the customizations would be very hard or impossible.

I’ve spent around a month of my free time in equivalent 9-5 labor on this sub-project, say 240 hours. I estimate conservatively that the project-specific browser customizations I’ve done have saved me around 40 hours, or nearly a full week of 9-5 labor.

This is why I rage at the Firefox developers in their attempts to turn the browser into a Fisher Price newbs-only playtime browser.

That’s forty hours of my life I would’ve wasted if they had it their way. So fuck them. That’s how they are making my life worse, or are attempting to.
