I'm glad you thoroughly understand the concept of "the lesser evil"

At the time (up until 18 hours ago), no.

All things considered, though, the tabloid actually did a decent job of reporting on the story and not sensationalizing it.

If the markers on my search engine are telling me the truth, after I posted this Raw Story picked it up 16 hours ago.

TIME picked it up 3 hours ago.

Sorry for the mediocre source, but it looks like it got its facts and translation right.

Any idea if these threats are actionable? He's not a US citizen to just fine or imprison.

Custom Search Engines: Firefox now supports adding even more search engines. To add a custom engine, right-click a search field of a supported website and select “Add Search Engine”, or go to Settings > Search > Add (below the search shortcuts table) to manually enter a search URL.

"Settings > Search > Add" was already available in Firefox for Desktop, but you manually had to travel to about.config to add the missing browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh boolean and set it to true. You've been able to do this for at least 4 years, and it's worked on Android for a while too.

Maybe they finally finished polishing it up.

Apology accepted.

Crazy how Mozilla has done so much stuff that people just forgot

Firefox doesn't let you use alt text anywhere, except for the most ridiculously niche location.

People who want to see it when they browse webpages get nothing.

It's only if you

• open a PDF in Firefox
• and then choose to edit it
• and then choose to add an image
• and then choose to add alt text to it
• and then choose to generate alt text instead

If Mozilla cares about accessibility, what a weird niche of a niche of a place to put it.

I don't need to be a source code expert to understand what Mozilla has done, thankfully. That's not a technological hurdle the average person should have to overcome. I know more than most people have the privilege to know, and further gatekeeping (any gatekeeping) is unnecessary.

If that was not your intent, or for other people who are genuinely interested:

If gatekeeping my comment was your intent, I would be happy to track down the source code as long as you made an extensive effort to get Mozilla to remove the code that collects your data...
