I strongly advise banning spammers. Not for the message, but for the act of spamming.

Comment on: Mozilla just announced their intent to deprecate so called XUL-based add-ons in favor of what they call the WebExtensions API within the next year or two

I tried midori on win7 (64). Crashed relentlessly, seconds after execution. Tried reinstalling, didn't work. Did I do something wrong? (Except for using Windows, har har)
