Nope. Probably completely sincere and genuine, but the Kick page reads like blackmail. Plus, there are an awful lot of other extension authors out there who could do exactly the same, pre-webextensions. I also recall SearchWP and others held their users to ransom in the past, not really what we're about, is it?

Please move to Locked as spam.

Any point in letting this go on? The OP stated he has installed Firefox so we obviously are not smart enough for him

Spammer.

The post is a copy 'n paste job from another site. I checked it out when I thought it odd that a post that started with 'the following guide...' and, er, had no following guide.

First page of Firefox General is now turning into a mass of 'Moved Topic' arrows that are stopping older, but actually relevant to that forum, threads even showing up.

i can see what you mean, my guess its a problem with the actual Forum Software, it doesnt actually Move the exact Thread to where the Mod moved it to, it just moves a Copy of that Thread to where the Mod moves it to. ) hope that makes sense ) dunno if a Forum upgrade would fix that issue?

@-Arch-

Nope, it's an option in the mod panel to leave the shadow topic. It is selected by default, and the moderators here are leaving it selected when moving the threads.

ok, but if im right Franks kinda saying those Moved Threads with the ( arrow ) shouldnt be there, personally Kerz needs to set it up right so users/people can find that or those threads in the right sub-forum, not have half an half in each sub-forum
