Firefox is Woke and goes Broke

Mozilla states, "Firefox is removing terminology from the browser that has been identified as derogatory or exclusionary."



Yet, in Tools->Options->Logins and Passwords, the struggling browser company is still insensitively displaying that evil "M*ster" word right there for us to read.  The "Learn more" link is there for you to LEARN, you unwoke user you!

A letter of complaint undoubtedly landed on Mozilla CEO Chris Beard's desk describing how painful the m-word conjurers up memories.  So he took action!  He knew as well as we did that social healing is of the utmost importance to a HTML rendering engine.

I will now take the torch to help eradicate the m-word from all civilized industry:

1. Auto Mechanics:  You shall refer to the Master Cylinder of the brake booster now as the "brake hydro cylinder -BHC".
2. Electricians: You shall refer to Master Switches as Primary Switches.  NO EXCUSES.
3. Transformer Engineers: Primary Windings is correct.   Very good.  You didn't call is Master Windings or some hurtful pejorative like that.
4. No more Master Jedis... because The Last Jedi was supposed to be it.  I didn't know Yoda and Mace Windu owned slaves!  Shame on you Samuel L. Jackson (and Jim Henson)!
5. The Master's Cup......  don't go there....
6. FedEx, the master tracking number lingo has to go! I refuse to track packages now.

7. Mad Max: You shall refer to Master Blaster as just Paul Larson.  That goes for you too Tina Turner.

In other IMPORTANT news....

Firefox usage is down 85%

Also, a tech company just called and offered a whitepaper for me to read.... I triggered, "WHITEPAPER"!

Thanks, Firefox, for exposing the tech sector's cruel insensitivities.
