Beard has said: we reached out to your team to discuss this issue.
Unfortunately, it didnt result in any meaningful progress, hence this letter.
Satya,I am writing to you about a very disturbing aspect of Windows 10.
Unfortunately, it didnt result in any meaningful progress, hence this letter.
Its confusing, hard to navigate and easy to get lost.
Mozilla exists to bring choice, control and opportunity to everyone.
We build Firefox and our other products for this reason.
We build Mozilla as a non-profit organization for this reason.
And we work to make the Internet experience beyond our products represent these values as much as we can.
Sometimes we see great progress, where consumer products respect individuals and their choices.
These changes arent unsettling to us because were the organization that makes Firefox.
kindly give your users the choice and control they deserve in Windows 10.
Sincerely,Chris BeardCEO, Mozilla
Mozilla knows, Windows 10 users canchange the defaultsto whatever they want.
Microsoft has a new build for PCs going out toWindows Insiders in the Fast ring Build 10122.
What sounds like a Microsoft attack on Firefox actually applies to all default programs.
Microsoft claims that Windows Store apps, which are locked down and sandboxed, could not invoke this prompt.
Is it Beard, rather than Microsoft, who wants to take a dramatic step backwards?
In its May 20 blog post, Microsoft said: We know your defaults matter to you.
Beards exaggerated complaint was parodied on Hacker News because of the Firefox update that changed users default search engine.
Animats wrote: I am writing to you about a very disturbing aspect of Firefox 38.0.5.
And later: Sometimes we see great progress, where consumer products respect individuals and their choices.
This was, in fact, due to a bug, for which Mozilla apologized.
However, it may still look like hypocrisy.
Mozilla exists to bring choice, control and opportunity for everyone.
