Good. Just another reason to keep Firefox.

They initied the relationship like a month ago without any safety check. Is that also a good reason?

When questionable decisions are seen as a virtue because they are reversed.

Dunno about you, but recognizing a mistake and taking action to correct it is usually a sign of maturity in my book.
