Mozilla has asked PaleMoon developer to censor his forum

Post by Virtual_ManPL »

Mozilla has asked us to "police" this forum.

Absolutely ridiculous, it it's true of course. :monkey: :banana:

Pale Moon developers & users are ungrateful people that steals code from Mozilla repositories and intentionally bite the hands that feed them and post bullcrap claims about Pale Moon being better or faster which has been debunked, their outdated platform gets thoroughly trounced by Firefox in performance, HTML5 support and memory efficiency.

These people are incompetent morons that wouldn't even have a browser without the hard work that others do on Bugzilla.

Even if true, I doubt they also asked the drama queen to come over all 'Joan of Arc' about it and slap it all over their public forum.

We do not censor your posts, and this will not change in the future -- this is an open forum.
Nope, you just delete entire threads by the poor slobs over there and forbid them to discuss subjects again - https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=66869#p66869

Hmm :-k is it just me or was that slamdown exceptionally easy?

Nope, it's just some 3rd party build based on Firefox 24.

Stealing code? From an Open Source browser? That is hardly possible. But i suggest that Mozilla, if they feel so uncomfortable with Open Source to close down the code.

Also, these days there is not that much difference anymore morality wise between Mozilla and Pale Moon.

Yep, a Moz drone was probably only asking the guy to quietly tone it down a bit, considering he keeps grovelling there for security updates from them every week and the next thing you know you've got Ethel Moonman up on the desk giving it large.

If you want to verify what was mailed back and forth leading to this post, ask Mozilla's Al Billings.

I don't know much about Pale Moon developers & its users and all these dramas about Pale Moon browser.
I was testing it, like many rebranded Firefox fork clones based on Gecko, like K-Meleon, Pale Moon, Cyberfox, Waterfox, Light, UltimateFox, lawlietfox, pcxFirefox, Tete's Atelier Firefox build, Airfox, fx-ayakawa, etc. which stated that they're faster.
They were, sometimes, mostly in synthetic tests, which didn't affect real life tests and browsing, sometimes even slower or similar, so I can agree on statement that they're kinda exaggerated.
About stealing part, you probably mean copying with breaking licenses, not giving sources, etc. I don't want to be a devil's advocate, but I don't think Pale Moon breaks MPL license, if you have proofs, please report it on Bugzilla for Trademark violation or here [1] & [2], etc.

Exactly, I know, it may be selfpromotion and making Mozilla to look bad, if it's not true.

Like malliz said, I also don't care that much to dig into this black hole, but I find this kinda funny and pointless,
similar like going to IE forum and asking M$ to censor its forum when they and users talking bad about Firefox and Mozilla or Google and Chrome.
I also don't wanted to start staying nicely the poo-poo storm.

Without actually seeing the request in question, it's tough to have an opinion on this. It could be complete BS, a polite request to lock a couple of specific threads (maybe for valid reasons), or an all-out rant by a frustrated Mozilla employee for all we know.

And what might these valid reasons be?


And this certainly needs to be pointed out, because my impression from the PM thread is that some do not know:
mozillaZine is an independent Mozilla community and advocacy site. We're not affiliated or endorsed by the Mozilla Corporation but we love them just the same.

And for those people who are not paying attention in thinking mozillaZine is Mozilla (think about it, no *.mozilla.org links on sidebar, top, or bottom like a typical mozilla.org page), well Mozilla has had their own support forum for sometime now for desktop Firefox and more recently some other things at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions
