Firefox will continue to be distributed as .deb packages through the official Linux Mint repositories. Its configuration and the way it is built is changing to make the Linux Mint version of Firefox much more similar (almost identical in fact) to the version which is distributed by Mozilla.

In the past Linux Mint used its own default settings and configured Firefox in a specific way. Most of this configuration is abandoned to go back to Mozilla defaults.

The default start page no longer points to https://www.linuxmint.com/start/ The default search engines no longer include Linux Mint search partners (Yahoo, DuckDuckGo…) but Mozilla search partners (Google, Amazon, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Ebay…) The default configuration switches from Mint defaults to Mozilla defaults. Firefox no longer includes code changes or patches from Linux Mint, Debian or Ubuntu.

No I hate the metro UI, it's fancy shit I don't need getting in the way. It's been invented by MS to render windows tablet friendly

Nevermind I thought you were the other guy

Edit: and no I won't give it a try it's ugly as fuck. I'm going to look at that thing all day, it feels already like a messy room with ugly tapestry everywhere. Idk who's responsible for the overall design but he should be fired. There are ways to make much better than that without changing the tech just by having a minimum of good taste. It looks like a cheap anorak. This one https://cdn.ccs.com/media/catalog/product/cache/4/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/8/8/885177879433-1.1506697793.jpg
