Why did you push out your CEO for his political and religious beliefs?

It's sad that you chose to push out a CEO for his personal belief. What happened to freedom? I have happily deleted you from my devices and will continue to encourage others to do the same. Shame on you!

Would it really hurt you to ask for facts on what happened with Brendan Eich? before assuming the worst happened instead?. One could say shame on you for not asking first.
The knew about his 2008 donation as it was public record (due to California law on donations with name and employer being listed) and supported him for who he is to promote him from CTO to CEO. This was not found out after he became CEO as some mistakenly believed.
Unfortunately some media outlets will rather publish sensationalized stories generating many clicks and increased revenue by ads than perform the most basic fact-checking or even posting the truth.
In fact Brendan refused to step down (as first link from day before shows) due to the pressure from outside campaigning to get him to resign as CEO. However it just got so bad in increasing attacks that he felt he could no longer be an effective leader with people constantly attacking him. He decided to leave as his way of helping Mozilla however this then triggered attacks more towards Mozilla due to the misconceptions made by individuals and article writers thinking was fired or forced out.

Since he was not fired or forced out he could go back to Mozilla if he wanted to I would like to think.

  • Apple, why did you delete multi touch gestures for iPad in iOS5?

    I have to say that this is a bit of a kick in the teeth. We spend all this money on Apple products, expecting software updates to add the he functionality of these devises - not to have really cool functions taken away... Why would you take this away? If it is a performance issue at least give people the option to turn it on or off.
    Bring it back please in 5.0.1... Oh and fix all the bugs that had me deleting apple apps like 'find my phone' and reinstalling them from the app store...

    Apple never included multitouch gestures in a consumer release of iOS before 5. You had to use developer tools to get them. So, from their standpoint, they never gave it to you in the first place.  But, at any rate, you're not addressing Apple here. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

  • Apple, why did you remove keyboard short cuts for EQ in v7?

    now gone in v7
    command-1 for main window
    command-2 for equalizer!
    that eq window short cut was cruitial(for me at least) when I'm doing parties and I need fast access to the EQ
    bad move - apple programmers, what were you guys thinking?

    Apple changed the commands and they are now used for video.
    You can program it back in with different keyboard commands.
    Close iTunes. Go to System Preferences>Hareware>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts.

  • WHY DID YOU CASTRATE THE IPAD APP FOR THE 6500 E 710N?

    VERY VERY FRUSTRATED TODAY WHEN I WENT TO SCAN INTO MY IPAD TODAY.
    THERE HAS APPARENTLY BEEN AN APP UPDATE THAT REMOVED SCANNING CAPABILITY. THE ONLY REASON I BOUGHT THIS PIECE OF CRAP PRINTER. NOW IT HAS SOME UGLY GRAPHICS AND IS DIFFICULT AND USELESS FOR TASKS.
    {Content Removed}THE FACT THAT ALL TECH SUPPORT IS ON A {Content Removed} FORUM. WHICH I HAD TO REGISTER FOR AGAIN.
    NEED MY APP BACK. I WOULD RETURN THIS PRINTER IF I HAD NOT HAD IT FOR A FEW MONTHS.
    ALSO ALL THE DOCS I SCANNED SEEM TO HAVE DISAPPEARED.
    THIS IS FRAUD. PURE AND SIMPLE. YOU SOLD ME A PRINTER THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK WITH MY IPAD AND NOW IT DOESNT. 
    AND YES I AM YELLING THROUGH THIS ENTIRE POST.

    Dochands,
    I have gone ahead and escalated this to the appropriate team. They should be getting in contact with you soon.
    In the mean time, I would suggest using the HP Printer Control app, as it offers scanning functionality for your printer.

  • In v4 why did you flip the context menu for open in new tab/window. Sucks when you are used to the other way

    I downgraded to 3.x because when I browse I have many new open windows (I have been using FF for so long I automatically select the second option). Seems stupid to change the order of the context menu when it has been the other way forever.
    Please change it back or at least have the order as an option.

    So the answer from TonyE was "That was an intentional change to promote the use of tabbed browsing." (See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/791244)
    And there is an option to use a menu editor to put them back detailed in that thread as well. The problem, of course, is that you need to perform a complex customization to every computer on which you use Firefox in order to fix a problem that should never have been created, never made it through beta, and that the developers won't fix because they believe that they are right.
    Frankly, eventually you get used to it. But in the mean time, they have annoyed, and in many cases pissed-off a large segment of their users for no reason at all.

  • HT3702 why did i get charged three times for the same purchase? is it because i use my apple id on three devices.. two iphones, and ipad... and and macbook geez apple i support you enough can i just pay for one copy of the audiobook

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    If it was an audiobook then they are one-time only downloads, to get it on your other devices you need to sync it to them and not re-download it oneach. You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you for the second and third downloads : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Western iso 8859-1 character set is gone, "other (including Western" does not work. Why did you take it out?

    Some websites need Western ISO 8859-1 character set to run properly and you have taken it away in favour of "other(including Western)", now the site does not work properly. Why did you take it out and can you please put it back.

    ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 should be equivalent. Can you provide an example of a page that doesn't display properly?
    If you have to manually select a character encoding to view the page correctly, then the site is broken and you should notify its owner that it needs be fixed. Websites specify the character encoding in one of two ways:
    * [http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/ Handling character encodings in HTML and CSS | W3C]
    # The ''Content-Type'' response header.
    # The ''meta'' tag in the page source.

  • Why did you kidnap me away from opening my home page and force me to your "introductory" pages that I did not want to see?

    When I opened my Firefox browser this morning, I was "kidnapped' and taken away from my home page and forced to deal with your introductory pages about the "new Firefox." Why did you do this? I already have a mother, so I don't need another one. If it happens again I'll mostly change away from Firefox.

    Thank you.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    That is determined by what type of disk that it is. It may be a disk that only allows you to install Windows on your Dell computer and would not allow Windows to be installed on a Boot Camp partitition or as a virtual machine in an app such as VirtualBox on your Mac. If that is the case, you would need to purchase a retail Windows install disk.

  • Did you know that your Internet Explorer is out of date?

    Hello there,
    when i access this site http://www.sickkids.ca/ , I am getting this error message, please advice.
    Did you know that your Internet Explorer is out of date?
    To get the best possible experience using our website we recommend that you upgrade to a newer version or other web browser. A list of the most popular web browsers can be found below"

    It's probably giving you that warning because your Firefox is very out of date. Please read [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com] to see how to update to the latest version of Firefox (14.0.1 right now)

  • Why do you keep alienating your user base with worthless UI changes?

    If it weren't for some add-ons that I've come to depend upon which are not supported in Chrome, I'd have switched long ago. But version 29 is the last straw. If I can't get version 28 re-installed and working again, I'm quitting FireFox for good.
    You claim that FireFox is so damned customizeable that it's easy to revert to the v. 28 UI, but that's simply not true. First of all, it requires an add-on which breaks other functionality. Second, that add-on doesn't restore everything. And Third, there were about:config setting that did fix some of these things (e.g. browser.tabs.onTop) but you've broken/removed those settings in v. 29.
    Why not simply make all of these things configurable in about:config, like browser.tabs.onTop? What's the point of forcing us to use an add-on, where we're dependent on a third-party developer who clearly didn't get it quite right because he's broken other things? Indeed, the support page even says that the only way to get TabMixPlus to work is to revert to the stupid curved tabs - I can't have square tabs and TabMixPlus, so right there it's impossible for this add-on to restore everything the way it was.
    You've broken FireFox for the last time, and as I said if I can't get v. 28 back I'm quitting you for good. I've already abandoned you on Android because you can't seem to make that work - it crashes all the time on both my phone and my tablet - and you're ruining what once was the premier browser.
    So, again, my question is: Why do you idiots keep alienating your user base with worthless UI changes? I believe that you developers are making changes for change sake, and you're so close to them you think everyone will think your crap UI "improvements" smells like roses. Well, they don't - they stink. If FireFox is so damned customizable, and you think your ideas are so fantastic, why not show people how to configure FireFox the way you prefer, rather than force the changes on everyone and tell us who don't like it to figure out how to put it back on our own. And if FF 28 wasn't flexible enough to get the look and feel you prefer with simple settings changes then you should have worked on making those changes possible, not worked on hard-coding them so nobody can change them.
    More importantly, perhaps you should concentrate on fixing bugs, instead. You should not have released v.2 until you'd addressed all bugs from v.1. BugZilla documents a history of bugs carrying over year after year. That is unprofessional. You still have memory leaks after all these years, forcing me to re-start FireFox on a regular basis - that is simply irresponsible. Yes, you've addressed them. Yes, you've made things better by not loading pages after a re-start until we click on that tab. But those are bandaids - you haven't fixed the actual memory leaks! To claim we must accept your willy-nilly UI changes to get security enhancements is ludicrous in the face of these memory leaks.

    If you're on a 64bit OS I highly recommend waterfox. If not you can have a look at cyberfox and palemoon. All of those are built on firefox but are ignoring the terrible gui changes.
    Good luck and let me know how you get on.

  • Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    I can not read the minds of the Adobe engineers or Marketing people. Nesting a sequence is not much more trouble than applying an effect.
    If you are creating a PIP, then a nested sequence is probably your solution. If you are not nesting, scale and crop, then put a white matte under it.
    This is not a great place for asking questions that have no answers outside of internal Adobe decisions. This is, however, a great place to get workarounds.

  • Why can you not fix your mistake???

    I am so upset and disappointed with Verizon customer service right now!!!!
    I had an email about upgrading my son's device early for free to the iphone 5c 32gb. I tried to apply it online on Saturday, 8/23/14, around 9/10am. It would not work online and said that the offer could not be validated online. So, I chatted with an agent on the website (Judy) I believe her name was. I explained everything to her and what not, at the end, she told me that I would need to call Verizon. I called and was on hold on and off for about 30 minutes while the lady checked with her supervisor to put in the order, she asked me what color and checked to ensure it was in stock, she verified my home address as shipping, explained that I would have to pay the $30 activation fee on my next bill and told me that the phone would be shipped in 1-2 business days. Here today is Thursday and I had not received the phone. I call Verizon, the first time, someone hung up on me. The second time, I spoke to a guy and he "cold" transferred me to another person, where I had to explain everything again. She told me that I was supposed to accept terms and conditions and since I was already on the phone with her, that she could transfer me to some automated line where I could put my son's number in and follow prompts. When I put the number in, it went to activation of the line instead, I pressed the button for his phone number and it transferred me to someone else. This person, was very polite, just want to put that out there. She then explained to me that they stopped the promotion on Friday and that she could see in notes where I did speak to someone and that she went over the $30 activation and all that stuff even had the color of the phone on the notes and that she had a supervisor approval, BUT she didn't order the phone!!!!!  So, the only option, based on the supervisor, was that they could graciously offer me an early upgrade for $99.99. So, I asked to be escalated to the supervisor. She informed me that it would be a 20 minute wait and that she would be in and out while I was waiting. The supervisor, believe his name was Richard, kept stating that he didn't understand how I could feel like they owe me anything because they show the promotion closed early and that all he could do was the $99.99. During our conversation, I had to repeat myself many times because he wanted to "make sure he understood me", He also explained to me that if he couldn't finish a sentence without being interrupted, that he would end the call (now mind you, been on the phone for an hour and a half, had not cussed YET, trying to be patient and hoping they would resolve this. He was a jerk. Not because he couldn't fix the problem, though I am not happy because of that, but the entire time, his voice was very cold, as if it did not matter to him whether I left and went to another cell phone carrier and it was more important for him to contradict me about one of the comments I made about being able to upgrade online, where he felt he needed to say that I could only upgrade early through calling them. I love Verizon service and coverage, but if you guys cannot fix this issue ( I did request to hear from his supervisor (which of course will take 24-48 hours), then I will go with someone who has worse coverage but will fix the problem when they are wrong!!!!!

    Ok, so you are saying that it is okay to go thru the ordering process with someone and tell them the phone is in stock and give you one price but then not actually order the phone and not tell you, so you then have to call back and go thru 3 reps before anyone even tells you? Original end date for the promotion is tomorrow.  When I spoke to the rep last Saturday she even told me the phones were in stock. Why should I have to pay a different price when I went thru the ordering process and was quoted at only having the $30 activation fee because they stopped something and didn't tell me and they have all of this in the notes!!

  • Why did you get rid of the track option in ALL Revel apps?

    I am a subscribed Revel user that was once happy with what Revel offered but NOT anymore.  I organize my photos inside albums by events.  Why?  Because that is the ONLY organization available from Revel without creating thousands of albums.  So why did you COMPLETELY get rid of viewing albums by track?  I can't see my tracks, or events, in albums on iOS or on the Mac (because of the new update) and definitely not on the web.  What's up?  When will this be coming back?  Every update that has come on Revel has been a HUGE disappoint, lets not even mention the failing to update fiasco.  I am ready to switch applications and void ALL of the work I have done putting ALL my photos into Revel.  Help me out here please.  Somebody please get back to me and let me know what to expect or change or if I do need to be looking somewhere else for better more reliable photo storage.

    What I am actually refering to is the "track" view inside of the albums.  Track view exists in the "collection" option or the file drawer option on all Apple apps, iPad, iPhone, and the Mac, but the track option that once existed when looking at individual albums is no longer there on ANY device.
