UI looks
by Samuli T. - Oct 29th 2006 12:48:59
Am I the only one who thinks the UI has taken a step backwards in FF2
release? The icon set has lost it's crisp and clear colours and general
looks are just grayish.

Spyware!
by tooar - Nov 16th 2004 13:51:43
It's a pitty that the Mozilla Foundation decided Firefox to become Spyware
[1]. With a lame excuse that they need money, they sell the soul of open
source software to ebay or whoever has enough dollars. Maybe they should
stop throwing away the money they have for ads in big newspapers and
magazins [2]? Really disappointing!

What exactly do you consider spyware? The google start
page?

You forgot the link to where the Mozilla foundation has decided Firefox
will become spyware.

Sorry to say it, but it is more like you don't want to see what is already
there.
A quote from link [1]:
"We provide access to search services from a range of sources including
Google, Yahoo, Amazon, eBay and others you can see in Firefox. We expect to
see some funds come to the Foundation as a result of our integrated
search."
This has already been done with ebay, ie. ebay pays and search requests
that are done through the Firefox toolbar for ebay are sent to a special
server so ebay can log them. Of course they claim they won't do any harm
with those information and they won't use it and so on. If you believe
that...

So how you would rather do it. Search ebay without using ebay servers?

I'd be glad if only ebay server had been involved, but the problem was
that the search requests were first sent to some 3rd party company. What
was even worse is that this action hasn't been made public when the release
came out.
Maybe you should try to search google for the topic?
Apart from this, why would a company like ebay pay for the search if they
don't get any additional benefit? Even if they hadn't paid for it, they
would have been included in the search, but then with the same server that
processes the normal search requests from their website.
Fortunately, after lots of protests, Firefox has been fixed.
