This statement is clearly false. It is possible. Whether it is a good idea or not does not change the fact that it is possible.Matt A Tobin wrote:This not possible.
These kinds of blunt shut-downs relying on incorrect information make it more difficult to believe other, potentially true statements coming from the same source. Trust is hard-won, and easily lost. Please don't do this.
While my understanding is not perfect, what I have gleaned form the various FAQs and announcements is that the new GUID has multiple reasons behind it. But doing the GUID-swap you've essentially reverted Pale Moon back to being a flavour of Firefox, and undone all the advantages, present and future, it brings. The main thrust behind the new GUID is the statement that Pale Moon is not Firefox. Your "fix" is for Pale Moon to continue to claim that it is Firefox.Kriton wrote:while it will also be possible to write pale moon specific extensions (which I assume is tehreason that the new GUID was introduced).
While it is arguable (and has been, and no doubt will continue to be, argued) that the old approach might be better and produce a more functional product, it is not the approach Moonchild et al. have decided on. Your solution won't be accepted because it is effectively a reversion of what has been done.
