Re: Thunderbird/Icedove security fixes since ESR 31.8.0
Hi
i only can imagine, that mozilla or developers are under control
of "zero day" companies or other services .
if this is so, i hope to get soon a better browser
with less code and better security.
This bug desaster will never stop ! sec. holes are a feature not a
mistake" / bug.
I think in 70% of any software.(upgrade reasons etc...)
paris showed us again, that backdoored software cannot save lifes!
But agents want the software to be buggy and full with backdoors !
This is nonsense !
2.
Another mistakes of mozilla since many years:
-They put more and more code in one tool,
better would be to split firefox in different "mods"
sec mod, dev mod, player mod, what else....
minimal mod,
-They change config parameters too fast in every new release.
- In some cases they dont explain functions the wiki.
- They use closed source in the upload binary
-They release new code too fast and with too less quality testing; the
community could not do that good enough as we see in many cases.
-Firefox 1.0 was a 1 or 2 MB big file and it was good for surfing in
the web.
Not every Grandma needs a network analyser .
But Grandma doesnt want to get the bugs from this analyser or else
....PDF Viewer...
- I Never saw a slower PDF Viewer like the new from mozilla.
Yes, i know before that there will come bugs soon.And they came
But Mozilla releases and releases and releases....Its frustrating !
What people work there?
Testers ? Hobby coder?
Its nonsense to integrate any and many viewers and special tools in the
browser.
Its better to check (all!) add-ons and let the users decide what they
need or not.

Wow!
so much information!?????
2.1
For debian it would be better NOT to follow any
new code from mozilla anymore.
And to fix ONE Release for a long time.
Or to start up a totally new browser system for linux.
how to do this is if google is sponsor from debian and mozilla ?
STOP now the nearing end of free software!
