Mozilla deserves to fail. This is absolutely unacceptable, it makes me irrationally angry. I've been using Firefox since 2004, I'm tired of these tactics. We're now playing whack a mole with their settings with things like advertising on the new tab page, user studies (which seems to randomly get re-enabled on updates), and now I need to add an opt out for this specific advertisement in my about:config? How many future advertisements am I going to need to opt out of on an individual basis as they come up? It's akin to what Microsoft is doing with their many toggles required to change the default browser settings.

Even if there were a setting to opt out of everything it would be unacceptable. Might as well use Chromium if they are going to pull this shit. I'm just done with this, Mozilla deserves to fail.

Yes it deserves to fail. But can any of us afford for it to do so?

Yes. Can we afford for it to not fail and keep preventing any real alternative from gaining momentum?
