Having accumulated too many bookmarks, I decided to clean up
After many hours of tidying up my digital mess I felt much better
Life was good. Until one day I logged into an old machine I rarely use.
Firefox made some half-baked attempt at warning me about needing to upgrade Firefox
And now I have thousands of old bookmarks that have magically re-appeared
Did Firefox put them somewhere sensible like in a "restored" folder hierarchy? No.
It just indiscriminately dumped them on top of my cleaned-up bookmarks
And anyway, what justification can there possibly be for not being able to version manage such an operation?
None. Nada. Don't try and tell me otherwise - there is no justification for this and I have lost all trust in the capability of Mozilla developers. Utterly pathetic and hopeless.
The "algorithm" underlying this failed sync seems to be analogous to
"for each room in house: explode diarrhoea and rub into walls and soft furnishings"
Those responsible should feel a deep sense of shame.
As someone who started coding in the 80s I despair at the state of software development today.
