Well, yes, but people are going to have browsers. This does make it easier for me to install Firefox for my mom and not have her call me about "not being able to visit websites anymore" and me having to figure out something removed her address bar or something.

I mean, obviously there's pros and cons, but it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

Vimium wasn't even available for Firefox before (it was a Chrome extension), but it is now.

VimFx hasn't, but Vimium has replaced it for me.

This "user is an idiot" mentality permeates their development culture. As another example, Mozilla would rather you don't get to access a site at all if it's misconfigured a certain way, rather than putting in any kind of override.

If I sound upset, it's because this is personally offensive (not to mention infuriating) to me, and many good-faith questions have gone ignored.

Yes, but at the same time, I'm installing software on my mom's computer, and unfortunately, she's not a good judge of what is a security risk. I'd trust Mozilla with that more.

As I said elsewhere, it is frustrating as well. But it's not like there aren't upsides to it as well, that just might not apply to us.
