I agree, but at the same time we need to keep in mind that it's power 
users who have made Firefox the success it is, because they marketed it 
to their peers, often even installed it at computers for those, and 
spread our message.
We therefore need to care to not alienate those power users or we run 
into the problem that they market and install some different browser 
that is driven by some big-money corporation and we as a non-profit lose 
our stake to advance the open web for everyone.
