a waste of space and time. always has been. but did moz listen? no. because fanboys like you mock the user and give them the confidence to do stupid shit. lame CEOs, failed TB, fxa servers…geez the list of absolute wrong directions moz went is so long.
praising freedom and a decentralized internet, but store links, passwords etc on their shit american servers.
the only good idea moz has was to start coding a browser…after that it just went downhill…according to the decline of users of the years. what is their market share today and why?

Multiplied by all the other annoyances you have to turn off, via either gui or about:config, each and every time. I feel you.
I hop machines fairly frequently, use multiple browsing profiles, and often create discardable profiles, so I eventually just went ahead and spent some time tracing all the about:config equivalents of the settings that I typically change every time and then put them in a user.js file that I can just drop into my profile directory.
…which is pretty smart.
but many of my installs unfortunately include osx and even still windows. not for me, but but for work and ppl that want alternatives. and i just dont have the time for these shenanigans every time. and as much as i hate it to say: a chrome install feels cleaner.
so for myself i rsync my ffprofile folder to a remote storage. but i will consider your method now. thanks.
It’s literally in the same place as all other UI customising, though. I consider that as convenient as it gets.

Wasn’t it in about:config? Or maybe it used to be.
Yes, to completely turn it off, it’s an

Removing it from the toolbar just hides it, but keeps it running.
Could have been back when the button was part of the address bar. But that was forever ago.
That’s what I’m thinking of them. Good on them for removing it in the meantime.
