Once again, Firefox interrupts my work and demands attention for no reason. This time, it’s the “we’ve got you covered” nag that apparently wants the user to pin the browser somewhere (presumably the taskbar).
Users’ focus is required to escape this hell - even Windows’ window controls don’t work, because the nag popup covers these too. Unbelievably disrespectful type of asshole design.
This may be controversial, but users use a web browser to browse the web - not to through a forest of questionnaires about choosing a default browser, pinning it to the taskbar, and whatever other delayed nags you’ve already hidden there (see here for more examples).
Is there a version of the product where I pay $100 but it just STOPS. WITH. THE. NAGGING. AND. NUDGING. JUST. SO. THE. MOZILLA. MARKETING. DEPARTMENT. SEES. A. NUMBER. GO. UP.
This is literally how you drive good products into the ground. Years after every single stunt like this users remember that this browser’s UX is a (hidden a delayed) nightmare.
Your obsession with quantitative, rather qualitative metrics, is slowly but surely marking the end of Firefox.
