That's all I'm gonna say.  You and I have been down this road before.

Well that is true and nobody wants another pointless internet argument right now... Just to be clear obviously I can't stop anyone using PaleMoon and neither would I want to, even if I could. However on corporate networks I'm being paid to look after things are different; there I can and do stop users running PaleMoon (and many other bits of software besides of course).

How about I don't try and dissuade anyone from using PaleMoon/Waterfox: I'm pretty hopeful some simple research would be enough for most people to choose regular Firefox. How about you try to persuade me why I should give PaleMoon a chance instead? Seems a more positive approach and I promise to be open-minded. God knows I've reverse coursed on much bigger issues before and well, you might be right.

And if you can't be bothered fair enough, we've probably all got better things to be doing anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have had another look at FF and am still not keen on it. One of my main moans, and I am not alone, is that I like the tab bar to be the bottom one. This used to be an easy choice until FF developers, in their wisdom, decided to remove it.

Is it important to have the tab bar at the bottom? No, of course not.

Is it important that that choice should be available to me? Absolutely.

For me FF has become too bloated, and the developers are far too arrogant. If they look at any questions/comments on line about FF they must realise how many people they are annoying about this. Yet they just ignore it all, no doubt deciding that they know best.

One thing I like most about Linux is that it is so configurable. So when a simple choice like this is removed, without any by your leave, I get angry.

And, why do you not like Waterfox? To me it seems to be FF as it should be. Or am I wrong again?
