From the Mozilla Blog: ... we are announcing the end of life for two legacy services that grew out of the Firefox Test Pilot program: Firefox Send and Firefox Notes.
Hows firefox doing these days? I've not really used it since it used to run out of memory every few hours, did try it again after they rewrote everything but it was really buggy with half the sites I frequent not working.
I once again don't have a good solution for 'how do I email a large file' but https://webwormhole.io/ is useful and simple, particularly for sending something big to someone you're video chatting with.
Oh dear. A stunning failure of another Firefox product which was hyped to hot air: [0] Looks like Mozilla really needs to find something to actually be more competitive than their current offerings of 'VPNs', 'File Sharing' and 'Web Browsers'. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19367850

I switched to Firefox on Mac in mid 2019, no problems at all. Wish it had chrome style profiles but glad it doesn’t have chrome’s other issues.
Could you explain what you mean by this? Firefox does have profiles, and more than one can be active at a time. (There's also the newer containers feature which allows further compartmentalization.)
