If you previously installed a customized version of Firefox with Yandex or Mail.ru, offered through partner distribution channels, this release removes those customizations, including add-ons and default bookmarks. Where applicable, your browser will revert back to default settings, as offered by Mozilla. All other releases of Firefox remain unaffected by the change.

I don't remember saying anything about that? I was talking about boycotts and divestments as strategies. I'm certainly not going to defend the Ukrainian state any more than I am the Russian state as somehow the poor little "oppressed" entity; that's ludicrous (and kind of grotesque to compare Russia to Palestine...jfc). It's the people I care about, not nation-states.
