I sent a question to Firefox and got two weird spam replies - weird ranting. And one semi-helpful reply.

Here are the two spam replies I received, from "adkaush":

Yeah go ahead and remove my account but remove your account too because your answers are not helping anyone either. FF Team is biased to the mobile users and plan to chop-off the desktop segment. What's good about that Hitler approach? I don't care if you wish to remove my account for speaking out, I won't be surprised at all. Because that's what FF is doing now, kicking people around. Switching over to Chrome if that's what you want me to do. Never thought I'd hand over my browsing to Goog but that's what I have to do now because FF team doesn't care. Don't tell me that FF team didn't see this coming. They knew people will crap around. Go ahead, kick me in the nuts. Ban me or IP ban me, whatever makes you happy.

And:

This is happening because FF team have made the browser .. better :) Status bar is gone! Tens of my add-ons aren't working. I'm sure, FF team must be like, "Yayyyyyyyyyyy we frustrated the hell out of people!"

Here's the semi-helpful tip I received, from "alan_r":

There is no sign of it in your installed plug-ins. It may be an idea to re-instal it.


Thanks, Bill.

Where did all this happen?


The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.

No sign of the rant.

Two frustrated users just venting. Their posts probably have been removed by now. No big deal.

BillSiever,

Sorry that you got caught up in that.

There was an angry user who was posting his rants about Firefox in the wee hours of Thursday 06-19 - US time zones. Usually no big deal, but that user was posting his garbage in other users threads; not only his own thread.

The spam was removed, and the post was locked.
