Where do you think this "app" came from?

Mozilla invites you to download and use, for free, several products including Thunderbird and Firefox. It has no interest in bundling other software along with its products, and neither is it a policeman interfering with what else you might want to install.

Where did you go for your Thunderbird download? The Mozilla site certainly would not condone nor supply anything that used such a name or such vulgar language.

I take it you mean this extension which only has six users.

If you have a concern with any Extensions or Themes or other things that are being hosted at addons.mozilla.org then you can bring it up at https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons (as forums.mozilla.org is no longer used).

In the response, the Customer Support rep only repeated the vulgarity by posting the URL, he/she treated the complaint lightly expressing that " the extension has only 6 users", as if to say, using highly offensive vulgar words is fine if it is only used 6 times.

My questions remain: Does Mozilla endorse such vulgarity? Will any action be taken to remove such profane and offensive add-ons or extensions?

Ironically enough, in order to review the add-on/extension, at least 1 star of approval had to be selected, when it deserves no star at all. Secondly, the reviewer is asked not to use 'offensive' words, which the add-on violated in the first place. Regards, Marvin Tobin [email protected]

There are guidelines and a approval process and since this is a new one it had to go through review to be in the status it is at present.

Not the best choice of words for an Extension name I agree.

marvintobin, I am a user like yourself who have been entrusted with moderator abilities on this community support forum. It you see a member with Administrator tag also then they do work with Mozilla.

I was just confirming what you were referring to as you were not specific as the post by Zenos shows.

Also nobody here will email a publicly posted email address except any spambots that find it.

I hadn't seen that add-on. I wonder how you stumbled upon it?

That word that you take offence to appears in several of my dictionaries. Do you read dictionaries? I'm not sure you fully understand the meaning of "profane".

Which body will you appeal to in order to have the foaas website closed down?

I stumbled on the add-on looking initially for a Spanish add-on dictionary for Thunderbird email.

If a vulgar word appears in a Dictionary, it does not necessarily mean that it makes it an acceptable word to use. “Ain’t” is in the Dictionary, and is not considered proper English to use.

Yes. I have read many portions of various Dictionaries.

Yes. I know what “profane” means. Among other definitions, it is a synonym for “gross, vulgar, foul, filthy, obscene, etc.”

I never said or implied that I wanted the foass website to be closed down. If that is the only resolve for the removal of its vulgarity, I am sorry.

The add-on / extension is noted in the third post by James above.

I appreciate the responses, albeit, it would seem that I am the offender here. I have been "questioned" in the guise of asking a question. I have simply asked if, Mozilla endorses vulgarity from developers of add-on's , extensions, etc.. such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/qfo-quick-fuck-off/ If not, what does Mozilla intend on doing about it?

Instead of a direct answer, I am asked if I read dictionaries and whether or not I fully understand the meaning of "profane". Come on!! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that some words are simply not appropriate, that they are in fact obscene and are in fact prohibited to be used in some situations. There is a reason your mom didn't raise you to use them.
