I'm glad Mozilla are focusing more on their core product (Firefox the web browser) instead of trying to compete in overcrowded markets like file transfer (WeTransfer, MEGA, Google Drive, Dropbox, ...) and notes (Notion, Workflowy, Google Drive, Microsoft OneNote, ...).
> While saying goodbye is never easy, this decision allows us to sharpen our focus on experiences like Mozilla VPN, Firefox Monitor, and Firefox Private Network.
Mozilla VPN seems to be just rebranded resell of Mullavad VPN with Mozilla Goodies.
Mozilla Monitor seems to use https://haveibeenpwned.com/ (also as seen in Firefox desktop)
Mozilla Firefox Private Network looks like another Cloudflare Warp's rebrand (with litte good additions maybe?) seeing that it uses Cloudflare .
Mozilla Firefox is also losing it's usershare and Management division may force in future to ditch Gecko and adopt Webkit/Blink in the hope that it could bring more userbase (just my thought) to lessen maintainance and focus on revenue.
If it brings revenue for them doing this,then it is absolutely good for them , but we are slowly loosing the Original Mozilla as Company based on Philosophy.

Getting rid of Send is so disappointing. That was a hugely useful tool. Why not add a Report button and start charging for the service?
The implicit problem is you have to know the download is sketchy in order to report abuse. For your average consumer, that will be after they downloaded it. Having a consumer download a sketchy file from what should be a trusted service (it's firefox! they're the good guys!) is not good for your company image, either. And unfortunately, charging for a service is no guarantee that these issues will go away. I have see…
I just don't understand this kind of logic. I can send mail bombs with the trusted postal service and people will open them. Does anyone blame the postal service?

Is Gecko open-source? If not, I hope they do open-source it before ditching it.
Browsers would be forked then. But,maintainance and adding features require lot of effort which is almost impractical by single dev/group without much funding in the world of ever changing large web.
I'm crushed to see Firefox Send go away. It was an amazing tool. In the "This is why we can't have nice things category" it's sad to see yet another encrypted file-sharing service that is inevitably shut down when someone starts abusing it to host malware or child porn.
