Firefox keeps bugs unpatched for over 9 years

Name: Anonymous 2012-03-21 21:31

To give an example, the annoying "FTP server 215 ... is currently unsupported" message. This lingers from the way the old Mozilla (pre-Firefox) recognized FTP listings.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202730
Unsupported FTP server "xxxxxxx" after login and SYST command
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277827
Unsupported FTP server "ITRON embedded printer OS"
This bug was reported in 2003, with various duplicates since then. They know what's causing the problem. Somebody sent in a patch and they still haven't fixed it. They're more concerned with bumping up the version numbers than a few simple bug fixes.

FTP is a fucking standard. Which idiot "developer" decided to even check for what the FTP server is? If the FTP server follows spec then it should be accessible from any proper FTP client.

I should show this to that guy in /jp/ who thinks "upgrading" a browser is all good.

You get a ton of new features you might not need... and a ton of new bugs that you definitely do not want!

A reply from a developer from that bug report
There is no standard for ftp dir listings and Mozilla can't parse an unkown FTP
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Ever heard of backtracking parsers you moran?
Back then Mozilla code was a joke.  It's sad to see that it didn't improve much quality-wise, and that the developers' attitude had not changed.

The FTP standard doesn't specify paths or directories, but most servers use Unix style with a single root and "/" path separator. It can attempt to parse it as Unix, and if it finds a VMS or mainframe file system, it can return an error. Right now, it checks the OS against a list of known magic strings, and if it's unrecognized, it fails.

Protecting against DOS attacks it's very difficult and a can of works usually. You either need to enforce low limits (which people will hit legitimately) or pass the problem to somebody else (the underlying OS like Chrome does).

It's not very high priority, the thinking (or lack thereof) goes "it's not a security bug, it has no use for the bad guys - the users will just stop visiting the page".

For that matter it's easy to construct applications that will DOS most major OSes in use today on their default configurations. If it bothers you that much, disable JavaScript and images.

Not Mozilla's fault the platform (OS + graphics API + drivers + hardware) is trash. Even fucking Microsoft has blacklists like that¹, and they *OWN* half of the stack.

Graphics are still a third rate citizen in the software world, you have to treat them defensively. It looks like it'll take a lot of time to get this shit sorted out, and conceptually it's not even that difficult.

Firefox 17 was released. That means we're only one version away from seeing image rescaling support in-browser.

The upgrade from nearest-neighbor means:

- High quality display of high resolution images
- High quality display of high resolution icons on sites that use them

It's been 4 years the bug report was made, and about that same amount of time since Google Chrome has shown us the possibilities of image rescaling), so we should be really excited for the release of Firefox 18.

Firefox 4 is a regression. The golden age of FF was probably somewhere around 3.x.

If there are any browser developers here: STOP FUCKING CHANGING THE UI. I'm not too bothered by implementing new HTML5 support and fixing rendering bugs etc. but this stupid retardation of the UI is the worse thing to ever happen.

Convince the users they don't need something, make them more ignorant and unaware, make them easier to control, erode their freedoms gradually. No thanks.

It's free software and therefore, it's your own responsibility to fix things to suit your need. You want a certain UI, you're going to have to modify it to make it happen.
