1105903 - what's the point of hello?

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Hello (Loop) :: Client, defect)

Description

[wolfi]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20141127030208

Steps to reproduce:

install nightly and enable threading support


Actual results:

It happened that i have some weird and absolutely unexpected new feature on a web browser called "Hello" and it does even feature some awful phone company ads


Expected results:

I dont think a web browser needs a "chat" or "phone" built in app. Thats why there are that kind of applications.

I would'nt mind it as much if there where not a huge advertisement of "Telefonica"

It could be fine for an addon, but, really, why a browser has to be a chat? and why do it has to be powered by a phone company?

As a side question... where does my data goes if I decide to use that new... feature? to telefonica? to mozilla? to noone but the destinatary of the "call"?

Bugzilla is really not a place to ask questions, but one for functionality issues - use a mailing list like firefox-dev (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/firefox-dev) if you have questions.

As far as I know Firefox Hello isn't meant to have any advertisement at all. I've never seen a 'huge advertisement of "Telefonica"', and am not sure what you mean by that. Screenshots would help.

Please post your concern on one of our mailing lists, as Gijs has already suggested. My personal recommendation would be to post it on the dev-media list: https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-media

Someone there will be happy to address your concern. Bugzilla is not the right place for these discussions.
