Hi Max, Adrian, I agree that the situation is less than ideal, however, this is not what things will be like forever.
I want to point out, that Firefox OS coming out on 2013 was a 1.0 release. That means that a lot of sacrifices had to made to hit the schedule. The mobile industry is very demanding specifically with schedules. There's a saying in software development which is "you have to get to 1.0 to even be able to ship a 2.0". It is very unfortunate that early adopters have to face these difficulties; knowing that you're supporting us and trusting something very dear to you (your phone and personal time if not more than that). As you can probably imagine, dealing with EOMs is not easy. The mobile industry in general is not easy. It is very cut-throat and don't necessarily look towards long-term support. As far as I know, Mozilla is here to change things for the sake of the public. There is a limit on how much we can influence the industry, however, we have already seen a lot of changes which eventually will percolate to the end-users (e.g. EOMs working in "open" issues rather than behind closed doors or contributing code to an open source initiative). I don't know how to help you in this specific issue, however, look for the "Let's fix updates" thread in this mailing thread. I assume good stuff will come out of it. Thank you for supporting the open web and I hope that a way to help you can come out of all the conversations. sincerely yours, Armen On 2014-04-14, 7:46 AM, maxrottenkol...@googlemail.com wrote: > I can only wholeheartedly agree with adrian on this. > > What i expected from fxos was one thing primarily: a good web browser. > > Instead i get this excuse of a firefox that: > * can not be upgraded > * can not be configured > * does not run adblock > * crashes on 80% of all websites > > i get weekly updates for marketplace and wikipedia.
