I wonder if the Tor people know about this?

Firefox to my eye jumped the shark a long, long time ago, when they took to using deliberate deception during the install process to get people to sign up to a Mozilla account.

Pretty much everything they've introduced for years I've not wanted or disliked.

The saving grace has been that pretty much everything can be turned off in about::config.

I may be wrong, but I think Moz has become a typical larger company, wholly divorced from its users, unable to know what users want, let alone respond.

What Moz as a large company wants is really completely different to what users want, and a unique tracking ID is a shining example of this.

I'll be using Tor, but I my secondary browser now has to change, as this is intolerable.
