Re: Installing Firefox

 

Well, yes, that is why we are using Web (Epiphany) on 12.10.

But there's one thing that we can't ignore, the end users, for us
developers uninstall Firefox and use Web as  default is really easy, for
end users no.

I do prefer Chromium and don't use office suite at all but I have this
feedback about GNOME Remix and the "normal users" claim for Firefox and
LibreOffice. So, we really must decide if we are going to hear our users or
if like GNOME/Fedora/openSUSE project "we will decide what is better for
them".

I hope we take option one, otherwise we will just be a deb based Fedora and
stay far from "human beings".

Cheers,
