Sympathy with Communism and Dictatorship
I added the sentences:
Also Firefox is accused of communism and dicatorship sympathy ,because of a extension called "About Firefox: Soviet Edition".
This outrage. Stalin killed hundred of thousands people,he was a dictator. And this browser show a image of him and the Soviet sign. Just outrage.
- So, if someone wrote an extension that referenced Jeffrey Dahmer, you'd accuse Firefox of cannibalism? android↔talk 18:55, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
So,why someone make this? Do ya´ll think that is cool? It is not.--ThomasK 18:58, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
- I certainly don't think it's cool. However, it's not part of Firefox proper, so it's not a valid criticism of the browser. Perhaps "allows the installation of potentially-offensive 3rd-party extensions" is a valid criticism, but implying that Firefox endorses Stalinist communism is ridiculous. android↔talk 19:01, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
I didn´t said that it endorses Stalinist communism,but why make this person such an extension? And almost a offical firefox website extensionmirror.nl take this in its collection? I think this issue should be put in this article in some way. +No it is not a misunderstanding of the extensionsystem. --ThomasK 19:18, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
- "Almost" an official Firefox website? How can anything be "almost" official? The "official" list of extensions is maintained at [1]. You may not misunderstand how extensions work, but you are misunderstanding the fact that this Soviet extension is a 3rd-party product. android↔talk 19:24, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
I don´t misunderstanding,that it is a 3rd party extension. "almost" offical Website because the main page and in mozilla zine forums there is the link to extensionmirror. You wrote:Perhaps "allows the installation of potentially-offensive 3rd-party extensions" is a valid criticism"/// So maybe this should be put in the article.--ThomasK 19:59, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
- If you could find a way to phrase that in a way that doesn't imply that Firefox endorses Stalinism (in fact, it should use the offensive extension at hand only as an example) and put it in an appropriate place in the article, it might be suitable for inclusion, in my opinion (strong emphasis on might). It would also help if you also found evidence that this is an actual, widespread problem. Even so, I don't see how it could be -- there's no way to "accidentally" install this extension, or force another person to do so, AFAIK. The extension you find so objectionable seems to me just to be a joke in extremely poor taste, and nothing more. (BTW, a link from forums where anyone can post doesn't infer any sort of official-ness.) android↔talk 20:11, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
I really don't think that belongs in the article's introductory paragraph (maybe in a section on extensions) and you repeated some text. android↔talk 20:18, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
This is not a repeated text by me. So may it is your turn to place this in a section where it belongs. --ThomasK 20:23, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
