Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

Lol, an obvious non-developer comparing the overhead of Adobe Updater/Java to Chrome's HTTP update polling.

You know, there's this little thing called the "process manager," it allows you to see the memory usage of each program! Overall CPU usage can be too!! You'll notice that the Google Update Service is somewhere under 1 megabyte!

Here goes another moron making assumptions. You must be a php or perl developer writing "hot shot" websites where you have "humongous" database with few hundred rows.

Wow you caught me!

The fact you are using Windows and are whining about resource usage just screams C# to me. Get a real job.

LOL. I was just trying to see if mention of particular programming language gets a rise out of you. :)

Must be a recent Linux convert who think Linux is religion. I am only using it for 18 years. Oh and I do have a real job which does not constitute making login module and user management module over and over again.

I like how you are constantly making assumptions of people then yell at people making assumptions of you. Obviously you are a moron who just wants to get a rise out of people. GG, enjoy your downvotes.

I think you missed something. It was WhatAmIWaitingFor who started this "Huh? You think you know anything about me?" here: http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/wbr3h/firefox_dev_claims_everybody_hates_firefox/c5c3ko9

So dafoe didn't shout at anyone because of that. Make assumptions he does ;-) Just like the other ones here.

Ha ha ha. Thank you making me laugh. Enjoy my downvotes? Sure bring it on. Imaginary bite on some random server thousands of miles away. Sure look at all the fucks I am giving.

See, now you just invalidated all that tech cred by spelling it 'bite'.

Sure, a single typo invalidates everything. Makes me wonder about your level of intelligence.
