Why can't just hire some competent management that stops the dumb decisions?

The only real USP of Firefox is Privacy, why would you drop that and just be the average thing that google keeps alive to avoid an anti trust lawsuit?

That's not a smart business decision, or is it? if so, could you explain what I'm not seeing? I really want to keep liking and mozilla, but I'm really on the verge of loosing faith here.

@mozillaofficial there was real innovation happening at mozilla like and , but instead of building on that, you let go of those projects.

Where is the next Firefox Quantum that is competitive with google chrome?

Stop doing pseudo-features like , and return to bringing innovation to the table and focus on the fight for a free internet.

@mozillaofficial if you wonder how to get sustainable, you could invest all you have on the stock market (via the foundation) and then live from the returns like the rich people do. You can use some of the tools that the capitalists love, without compromising on the important core values of privacy and internet freedom.

You could also ask for donations and organise crowd funding for specific features, if you really need money. (though I believe that you mostly need better management decisions)

looks like they already do this: assets.mozilla.net/annualrepor

Though I really wonder why they keep loosing the browser game with this amount of money... Sure chrome/google has more, but I bet you could get further with it.

@treefit @mozillaofficial they are busy with updating theirs TOS so they can sell our inputs to AI companies

I'm switching to LibreWolf this weekend...

@treefit @mozillaofficial That stopped back when they nearly killed Thunderbird because they didn't understand that the open Internet is not just about browsers, but also open application-specific data formats and the open tools to use them.
