that page is deeply racist against foxes. it
dehumanizesdepersonizes and objectifies us!Needs more round avatars, maybe?

Haha...Windows. I hate that I have to click on stuff in Windows to scroll. Perhaps the second biggest annoyance when I have to Windows.
I hate that you have to click on stuff, period. As the years go by, they force you more and more to take your hands off of the keyboard.
-
You never need to use a mouse in Windows. (Or, if you do, some third-party developer done fucked up gud.)
-
-
Absurd.
Ok for a moment I'm going to ignore the presence of touchscreens and trackballs and pen tablets because if I brought those up you'd feel REALLY stupid.
There is no action in Windows which requires the use of a mouse. Literally everything is accessible through the keyboard. (This actually impressed me about Windows back when I was switching to it from Mac, where that is certainly not the case.)
-

Well, depends what you're doing. It might be possible to use a painting program with just keyboard, but it would suck; I wouldn't want to do that, and I'd be entirely happy with having to use something other than the keyboard to draw pictures. Powerpoint would also be very annoying to use with keyboard alone. Drawing pictures is a really common activity with that application.
The point is we've got many ways to interact with computers, and we should use them as appropriate. Many common tasks can be done both way, but not all. (Writing a document with just a mouse is seriously annoying; I've had to do it once or twice because of keyboard problems.)
-
Absurd.
Only because you left out
Or, if you do, some third-party developer done fucked up gud.
I believe that accessibility rules require the program work without a mouse. The problem is most developers ignore them. (I know our product fails the test.)

And every normal Firefox user would make Firefox reload the tabs from last session!
no wonder we get servercooties when you're here.

No, that would be when Chrome users reload tabs. Because those actually load on start. FF's at least wait until you actually look at them. (Why, yes, I do load tabs from the last session in both browsers!)
-
But chrome will load from cache at least some times. I've observed this at least when the server for the page is down. Maybe that's a special case.
-

most of the time for me.
i often find what.thedailywtf.com is massively out of date when i launch chrome and have to trigger navigation or in rare cases full page refresh to synch the view to current.
-
I never have to do that; maybe my cache settings are different

AFAIK my cache settings are default (except for setting don't cache when devtools is open)
-

Catching up in this topic.
That bites me all the time. If it were at least consistent, it wouldn't be quite so bad. Some programs, the window has to have focus and the mouse has to be in the window. Other programs will scroll the window if it has focus, no matter where the mouse is. Chrome, if any Chrome window has the focus, the one with the pointer will scroll, even if it doesn't have focus. (I like this, BTW. Focus-follows-pointer, FTW! The only thing better (most of the time) would be focus-follows-eyes.)
-
I get that if it reloads tabs. It's even worse on mobile.
-
Exactly - mouse operations follow the mouse pointer not any kind of focus.
On the other side, I occasionally feel it would be nice to 'lock' my G13 gameboard to a specific application. So input from it always goes to the currently open game, even if a browser window or voice chat app happens to have focus.

What?I get excessively annoyed by this when I see it on TV. We can see the guy in the mirror. The actor can see the camera. The character is just looking at the 4th wall of his house in the mirror. While adjusting his outfit. If he was Doing It Right all we'd see is the part of the room to his left. But noooo.
While we're on the subject, why is this:

how TV people show that someone is watching TV/using a computer? Why are they staring into a projector?

@aliceif I think I quite like those.

start your unicornification today
Who still makes their own unicorns nowadays? Cornify is free.
-
I started a collection a while ago, but more often than not I forget because I only see those on a less used profile.
-
@Zecc said in Classy start page from the ever-so-professional Mozilla developers.:
So when are the @sockdevs going to switch their browsers?
-
@aliceif as soon as we code that dress they are mentioning.
-
In this less-used profile I'm trying out Tab Center.
Seems like a good idea. Maybe? I should try it out more, but... meh.
It bothers me that I need Test Pilot enabled to use it. And I don't care enough to find an existing addon that does the same thing.

It's a form of art! You really need to squeeze that turd in the right form to get that tail just right.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-tree/
It has its issues (not being able to collapse child tabs is a big one) but I can't imagine using a browser without tabs on the side. There's also TreeStyleTab which does have collapsible children but that one was pretty buggy the last time I used it (over a year ago).

@Zecc said in Classy start page from the ever-so-professional Mozilla developers.:
Here's a deal, Mozilla. Make a good browser for power users that actually has FEATURES (like maybe focus on tab management, you haven't touched it in 10 years) instead of dumbing down the interface as much as you can, and I'll pay you like $10 for it.

Liar.
Pinned tabs were introduced long after 2006 (EDIT: 2011, in fact).

If it's a dress code, it isn't fun anymore.
It's MANDATORY fun.

If everyone chipped in $3, all the MozDevs could afford a trip to London to see the Madame Tussauds' wax statue of Grumpy Cat.
And if you ungrateful assholes had retweeted us (instead of blocking us over the #FoxYeah campaign), we could have won the caption contest and met Grumpy Cat in person!

They'd risk meeting the statue of topless Justin Bieber.
Just thinking about it is making me shudder.

That's call "karma".
Enjoy staring at a "young, fresh, flat interface" you fucking fucktards.

FF3.6 gets faster every day as we approach near-100% HTML5 websites that use elements such as

Depends on what they mean by topless - as long as he's missing his top, that has to be a good thing... (what they really mean: )

Read something that basically said that our language is going to need an update when we meet advanced aliens, because we entirely rely on "human" to mean "sentient being" in a lot of our words.
"inhuman" "inhumane" etc.

When we meet advanced aliens, first contact will be a swarm of large asteroids accelerated to near-c arriving at Earth.
Upside: we won't have to worry about changing our language.
