Comment 134 for bug 191889

I just wanted to say "I told you so". I kicked and screamed about this bug for a while before the official Hardy release, but no one would listen. Now, I assure you that the comments to this bug will continue to grow onwards for the 3 years Hardy is supported on the Desktop, which is pretty ridiculous. Firefox is becoming the effective "Operating System" for constant web browsing folks addicted to web 2.66666..., and there is no reason Firefox should depend on Network Manager. I thought the one thing that set Linux apart from Windows was the decoupling of components and not forcing people to use certain packages if that is not necessary. Ubuntu has taken a turn for the worse in this specific decision with Firefox, and let's just hope it doesn't continue to happen in the future. We have too much to lose as a community. Let's keep the progress going and not start to build another Microsoft :-)
