There is no reason to fix Firefox in a short time. Because A is wrong,
there should be no reason to do B wrong, too. Explain your family, that
they will experience waves of refugees in an amount that the current
wave of refugees is a peanut. Explain your family that the current
ecological calamities are peanuts compared to those, that we get very
soon, if we continue our lifestyle. You don't have arguments, you only
provide excuses for bad habits.
