Introducing new Colorways for Firefox 94 - "We’re making the connection that a safe and joyful internet is a colorful one, and ultimately we want to connect with the people that make the internet a colorful place."

I am still salty they ruined my ability to make it look like Windows 95.

That is about the time I stopped using it in favor of a sanitized chromium build. I didn't like how many unsolicited connections Firefox makes in the background to random servers I am not attempting to communicate with.

I also don't care for the fact they made the Firefox icon gay looking. It was already bad enough the fox theme pandered to furries. I guess they didn't learn anything from Microsoft's pivot away from faggotry after Windows 7 in favor of something more inclusive that is reminiscent of Watercolor.

So much more of our life is flowing through what have historically been these gray boxes. And we don’t really tolerate this type of what I would say are one-size-fits-all tools anywhere else in our lives.

Grey boxes... you mean like monitors.

What inspired you to make the jump from fashion and retail into a tech company, which is best known for their web browser?

Better question: why did Mozilla give this person the role of Senior Director of Product Management? They couldn't think of anything else that Mozilla should be frantically working on instead of fucking around with colors?

How do you disable those "hide toolbar" arrows on the left side of each toolbar?
Click to expand...
I do it by adding the following in userChrome.css:
Code: 
toolbargrippy {
display:none !important;
}
EDIT: Just checked, there is a way to do this in-browser in Preferences -> Appearance -> Hide Toolbar Grippies

forcing pictures to be webp when you save them.

It might not be Firefox doing that. Cloudflare, a web server proxy tool which does various things to help improve the speed of web servers (among other things), has a tool where it will convert JPEG images to WebP automatically for browsers that can display them. So even if the browser is requesting image.jpeg from the server, Cloudflare will turn it into a WebP and add headers to the response saying "this is actually a WebP," and since browsers will trust those headers before using extensions to figure out how to display images, it will work just fine. But yes, this confuses us humans when we see what seems to be a JPEG to us and save it to disk and end up with a WebP instead.

Ideally Cloudflare users would disable this "feature" for their sites, but as it is effective in reducing file sizes and they probably don't care about users' ability to save their images or the loss of quality that comes from the images being lossily re-encoded, they might not want to - if they even know that it's happening or that it can be turned off, since the setting is kinda buried in Cloudflare's massive and complicated admin panel thing.

For all the waste of development resources on shit no one asked for, why won't Mozilla devs add a converter for web pee to solve this issue?

Am I insane to think that the purpose of a web browser is to be unobtrusive and to display content you request from web servers?

My God, one of the "sleepers" from my 1997 cryonics project has awakened!

That ship has long since sailed, a web browser is now a preemptive multitasking operating system that happens to use HTML rendering engines as one of its display technologies.

Can't it just quietly do those things in the background without covering half the screen in gay pride rainbows?

I think it comes from their intention to change the UI as little as possible. Mozilla Suite / Netscape 6 and 7 back in the day had them on by default too.
Compare and contrast with Firefox having a UI redesign every couple of years or so (and lots of minor changes in-between).
