    Mozilla the corporation, and the foundation, seem to be doing everything in their power to distance them selves from the browser.

    They want to be anything but a browser company. It’s such a weird identity crisis.

    Every time they’re in the news it’s for something other than developing their browser. Donating to them doesn’t fund the browser. They’re explicit about that. It’s just pants on head crazy.

      Don’t think they’re intentionally trying to distance themselves from the browser, though. I think they’re trying to find other ways to make money.

      Ideally they would do this without dropping the Firefox ball but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Of the funding that has gone to strange, now dead non-Firefox projects, I wish some of that could have gone to making Firefox better. Not just a faster browser, but other things like power-efficiency and continuing Rust migration.
