With the non-shitty versions of Firefox which still supported proper extensions, I could right-click a link and open it in another browser in nearly no time. This is impossible in the new “improved” Firefox. It used to be two quick clicks, like this:

Now the process is:

1) Copy the URL (which is harder as it’s all hidden now).
2) Open the other browser.
3) Do shortcut for new tab (keyboard or button).
4) Paste into browser bar and either do “paste and go” or hit enter.

It seems somewhat minor I admit but I just timed it and the easier way when Firefox worked correctly took me less than one second and the crappy new way takes me seven seconds. In other words, the more “secure” Firefox causes me to spend seven times longer to do the exact same task. This is something I do probably 10-20 times a day so if I take the average and say I do it 15 times, the “better” Firefox is costing me an extra 90 seconds a day.

There are 365 days in a year. Therefore, the new Firefox is costing me 32,850 seconds a year, or 547.5 minutes a year, or a little over nine hours a year. And that’s one extension, and not even my most-commonly used one!

Fuck Mozilla and fuck the Firefox developers.
