In a little more detail...
I've been using FireFox as my default and only browser since 2004. Since I recently lost my add-on account info I had to create a new one.
There are some very helpful add-ons offered for FF and I have contributed to some of the authors in the past and encourage others to support them as well.
In the past year or two it does seem to me that FireFox is heading in the wrong direction when it comes to what some of us want and what was their original goals. I realize the technology is changing rapidly and some folks want all the latest bells and whistles, but some of us just want a basic lightweight and secure browser and are very choosy about what we add.
Instead of integrating everything like for example Hello, Pocket, and Reader and others, some of us might be happier if FF considered either making two separate browsers or better yet, making the optional parts truly optional by the user. Have a download button for the latest basic browser and on the same page offer those "Official" add-ons FF would have or could have put in the browser. Offer them ala-carte making FF more of a modular browser only incorporating essentials for browsing and security. By putting the "Official" add-ons on the page with the update or download the user is aware of them at the time they get the latest update or browser install instead of having to stumble across them six weeks later.
Anyway...just an idea.
In spite of some dislikes I continue to support FireFox.
