3 Things,

1. These forums look horrific. I had to force myself ti bother to post on this article.

2. Mozilla have never listened to their tech users whether it be about the XML bugs, view source parsing etc. They think they know what people want and everyone else is wrong.

3. If removing the rss icon is based on statistics as per

"The reason for this is that statistically, only 3%–7% of users use the RSS button on the toolbar. "

Then they should be removing that EV crap for its low scores too... oh wait, no that's a revenue generator for them isn't it.

Firefox has turned into a big fat lazy giant panda and people are moving away from it. Indeed Firefox is the new Internet Explorer.
