* I had temporarily disabled Javascipt on Firefox for debugging something a couple days ago. I had been using Chrome since then, but decided to open Firefox for this. I was confused until I tried to check my Gmail, whereupon I was informed that I had Javascript disabled. Oops. I've re-enabled Javascript.

How much $ do they give to startups?
Good question. In the normal process, we offer no funding, and take no equity. We give advice and coaching to companies we think are likely to move the web in a positive direction. Keeping money out of it at this stage keeps things simple.
It's the only missing piece in my mind. I hope it's something the team is thinking about (I've talked with Pascal about it during our stint).
Would love to chat about it more though.

See my answer above. We should tweak the site to make it clearer, thanks for the feedback.
Another thing you can make clearer is where you are based—I had to go to the blog to figure out it is Mountain View (I’ve seen a lot of things out of Mozilla London recently so I was hoping it was in London!).
I'm near Mountain View so I spent many a days at the Mozilla HQ but none of the other teams were local.

Would you consider accepting a hardware based internet-of-things/robotics startup?
