Then I can only assume that you and I don't share the same vision for how 
Firefox should do act when the network changes. That's of course totally fine.

Our efforts to make Firefox run fine on existing operating systems as well as 
"old" operating systems that were released several years ago means we need to 
work with network stacks and operating systems that already are deployed. But 
then we of course also work within various communities to push networking 
forward all over in ways we think it can improve. I think we can do both.
