What does the secret button do?

On my system in opens the scrolling credits box. It also says “Credits” on it. lol

I guess the question is: who compiled it? We can blame this on:

a. Mozilla for making a half assed linux release
b. package maintainer who rolled it into a deb or an rpm for your distro
c. you if you compiled it yourself
d. underpants gnomes - they always be fucking my shit up, yo

Anyways, good catch

Underpants gnomes are a strong possibility! The about box is apparently fixed this morning, because I went to compare versions on my desktop and my laptop, and now they are both correct. I also didn’t notice that the user agent string was missing when I took the screenshot. I didn’t compile it myself (too much work for a lazy guy like me, especially with the 8 billion other projects I’m taking on), so I have no idea why it was a ghost of a button last night and a normal one today. I think if I ever made a browser, I’d call it Dandruff. That way, flaky behavior would be expected

It must be underpants gnomes then! Or maybe some random GTK glitch… But I’m betting on the gnomes.

Btw, why stop at a browser - do a Dandruff Linux: where every bug is a feature
