Makes me wonder what direction Mozilla is heading in when good developers bail: So long Mozilla, and thanks for all the fish

Sounds like more bitching about the release schedule, and complaints about not getting enough support. I wouldn't draw any conclusions from a disgruntled dev. Maybe it's something, and maybe it isn't. More needs to be known.

I do question the fast release model they're using. I'm not convinced it's the best way to go. As far as support goes... There's too many addons to support. Where would they draw the line regarding which ones are important enough to support? It's all open, and commits are logged, so changes to browser can be adapted to by the addon devs.

every single update breaks addons. After so many years of development, they are not able to create interface that is backward and forward compatible?

I updated FF from 10 to 16.whatever yesterday and it broke most of the addons I use and wrecked the UI as well. I had to do a system restore to fix it.

Which addons did it break? Just curious because the ones I use all have been updated or already work with v. 16
