Hi. I've been a long-time Firefox user, and I'm also one of the
Administrators for a small school district. I maintain 1,000
computers. Getting from 3 to 3.5 was a dramatic process, and we're
frozen at 3.6 now.

Where was the community-based discussion *prior* to the decision by
the UX lead, and yourself for this change?

It seems near-universally disliked, so I'm curious if you are
considering community feedback. In one post you said (quoting) "I'm
used to it". I'm hopeful that isn't the extent of the consideration
given. You've asked us to give you the benefit of the doubt, so
please, assure our concerns by directing us to a community
conversation that was considered prior to the decision.
