Why can't Mozilla create a proper set-up wizard like IE that gives the consumer choice at install or upgrade? Seems harmless and not hard vs. you burying this chosen method and them not knowing that have choice.
Setup wizards aren't very effective from a user experience point of view. There is a limit to how many things we can ask before people decide "Firefox is annoying me" and never actually use it to browse the web -- and then how do we know what is "most important" to ask? There are literally hundreds of different things users can configure in the Firefox settings pane, and surely we're not going to ask them what they want for each and every one of those! Of course we very well could supply a "cancel" button or "express" configuration in such a wizard, but that very popular option would be chosen by most people and their Firefox would continue to carry the factory defaults -- effectively behaving the same as what we're doing now.
Again, I have no issues with blocking cookies whether first or third, but its how you NOT giving the user ability to choose for themselves.
Can you help me understand how this isn't providing choice? My impression is that it provides *more* choice than before because we're introducing a new option.
Firefox users will always be able to change their cookie settings back to accepting all, blocking third party cookies fully, or blocking all cookies -- all in addition to this new setting which happens to be the new default. They have the power to choose (to put it in Webster's words).
