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.
