I just learned from this comment that in the latest Firefox alpha builds they are removing the ability altogether for users to even have a status bar and add-on bar. Not even an add-on will provide it I’ve determined from looking elsewhere.

Why is all software going the Gnome 3 route? I can’t understand it. Do the developers – who presumably are technically competent – actually want to use software so crappy? I can’t imagine why.

I hope I can get by on the current version of Firefox for the next 4-5 years. After that, I will probably just mostly stop making much use of the internet as it will have regressed so much.

I wish someone would fork Firefox and make it usable again, but I know that is unlikely.
