#33Calling a service that launched only 17 months ago "legacy functionality" is troubling. Why should I engage with any new Mozilla product or service if they're going to cut it off at the knees after a year?
this question is why i haven't engaged with any new Mozilla product in years. They just KEEP making cool things that you want to integrate into your workflows and then killing them.

#34Charging a nominal amount for send seems like it would solve the malware problem and help their finances...
A Freemium model seems like the way to go for Mozilla.
Is there any reason it wouldn't work that I'm not seeing?

#35Why couldn’t they make send work and make money while https://wetransfer.com/ is flourishing?
Because all those side projects are not made to make Firefox, or Mozilla foundation better, but to have nice greenfield projects that allow to boost CV and find a job elsewhere.
All those side projects is the reason while Firefox is dying. They completely ignored their core product: they made a worse copy of Chrome that killed all extensions.

#36Looks like Mozilla is becoming VPN company shifting it's previous focus which was on browserware. 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 .

I am getting very much downvoted. Any fallacy in my reply? Please tell me so that i can correct it in future

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
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…
> 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. 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?

Yes?
Do you think the USPS does nothing to detect bombs in the mail?
You can’t earn trust by saying “that’s not my problem.”

And this is why we all should have shouted louder when Google set this precedent five years ago. This is going to become the status quo.
If Google can do it why can’t we?

I'll bet they got gunshy dealing with abuse and illegal uses of the service. A real shame as it's a no-brainer service to have in their software suite, and a great complement to the browser

#40I'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.
It's the one service of the new wave of Mozilla products I actually liked.
Well, maybe lockwise might be ok, but I already have a password manager.
