This is a cheek from Mozilla! I have data and bookmarks here too and I just can’t get them anymore!
Maybe you should warn the user at least once?

Totally agree! Had exactly 738 links in FVD, 60% of them in regular use.
To not warn the user is completely off the rails. And it is completely off the rail to close (archive) all the complains here and not to learn and apologize for this.
Definitely the usage of FFX dropped over the last years too much to behave like this.

Thank you. When Mozilla fixes their problem, I’ll turn it back on.

Вот это фиаско ))) стремительно скатывающийся в говно браузер, выпилил такое же говнорасширение с сотнями тысяч скачиваний. Кто-то где-то жидко обдристался, думая, что выпилить спиддиал - тоже самое, что заблочить какой-нибудь адблок.
where is that? Thx in advance.
Found it thank you; You are a life saver!!
I have to say I, for one, am happy that Mozilla stepped in. Between Mozilla and Nimbus devs, I do trust Mozilla. Not so much the other guys. Yes it’s annoying, it took me well over an hour to get those bookmarks back. But, the fact that FVD was redirecting and grabbing my searches is absolutely unacceptable! I mean beyond insane. The whole reason I’m using Firefox is privacy. And the fact that they were warned multiple times (since 2020) and they still did it, is even worse.

To say the response was rough is to say the bare minimum. Probably a better question is why doesn’t M have better dial customization in the first place. yes, its a job but even Edge is starting to look viable.

@mhoye Appreciate the response but you failed to address my question at all. I clearly recognized (assumed but recognized) Mozilla’s right to do whatever they want with regards to plugin/addon/etc. My question was specifically around OUR data on OUR computers and where the EULA indicated you can remotely alter/remove access to it.
If it is there you will loose more customers. If it is not there then I would recommend an internal review. Feel free to reach out if you want clarity on why I feel that would be a good idea.
Cheers

@Dariia_Karkunova I’ve no idea as to the “whose right and whose wrong”. Smarter people than I can figure that out, but feel free to reach out for some thoughts. I have made the same offer to Mike. Since I don’t really have a dog in the fight (at this stage) I’m happy to share with either party.
@Balli, We totally understand why you think this way. However, as we indicated above, there are no violations in FVD extension. We have never collected our user data nor tracked searches. What Mozilla claims is just not true. It seems like a huge mistake from Mozilla’s side.

Goodbye, Firefox. It’s time to start using Chrome.

I was start to using Edge, after export my dials. Edge is much faster and easy to use. Use less resources.

mozilla doesnt care about all datas lost by the fvd speed dial users…? what’s wrong with them?
mozilla has not a “strike” system to warn developpers before putting everybody in this situation?
i use firefox for a looong time. their politics has changed in bad ways a couple of times, this time is too much for me. i leave the ship, i’ll maybe go for vivaldi or chrome…

Is that it now? So Mozilla deletes MY data and thinks that’s ok?
So can I expect this to happen more often?
I don’t want to hear from Mozilla again, please, and users run away!

The build that you have is not intercepting searches. You can manually re-enable it and see by yourself.
I’ve never used the add-on in question, or any other dial add-on, but…
@ Mozilla
Please tell us which lines of code violated the add-on policies.
So those of us who are curious, and who still have the add-on, can see for ourselves.
I know, this is probably a dumb suggestion, or someone else before me would’ve made it already.
I don’t care about how you treat nimbus. You have mistreated your users. It isn’t right. I am absolutely livid about this.

Although I restored the main part of the speed dials through EverHelper, this was the last straw: FF became too heavy, recently it was updated almost daily, and now such a fail! After so many years, it is no longer my default browser, goodbye! Of course, part of the blame lies with Nimbus users, as did not make permanent backups, but what they did in Mozilla is a frank spit in the face of its users.
