The state of Firefox is terrible. The state of Mozilla? I couldn't get it from this terrible website. Which tells a lot about the state of Firefox.

Re: State of Mozilla
#32Ironic that this website feels pretty janky on Firefox for Android. The Read link under "Internet by the people for the people" leads to a page that has lots of rendering artifacts as your scroll through it, like colors blinking in, and also it fills your browsing history with every swipe. Below the financial statement and form 990 links there's just tons of blank space separated into different color segments. I have…
pixel 6a, firefox with ublock origin - no artifacts, no missing content I can find. Maybe its privacy badger?

#33so what is the state of mozilla?
Extracting the last dollars available before Firefox becomes legacy like Netscape.
Re: State of Mozilla
#34Does it say they are shutting up shop with immediate effect? I'm not sure because somebody stuck a "display: none" attribute on the . Now if that doesn't accurately reflect mozilla these I don't know what does. "nothing to see here"

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
I really wish Mozilla would stay out of politics, especially identity politics. And I've seen some pro-censorship advocacy from them in the name of Internet "safety."
could you tell more ?
Re: State of Mozilla
#36As usual, you see a lot of hate against Mozilla's management team on HN. It makes me wonder, the people who hold these views, do they begrudingly use firefox? Do they use a different browser?
Re: State of Mozilla
#37IMO Mozilla has turned into a wrong way since the shitshow with Brendan Eich.
According to Brave’s stats, they get ~63M MAU. Firefox is now sitting under 200M. That’s a loss of >50M users in two years.
Looks like Eich might have been Mozilla’s hidden force keeping the project on the rails.

#38Many bizarre graphics, but none visualizing market share.

#39I dont like Brave because of the Crypto stuff. But they have way better communication around this with more simple tweets and posts of what they ACTUALLY do. What is even going on, on this page? So much coroprate speak I feel like I am reading my for-profit company intranet page.
That might be the point. Disguise that they are mainly lining their own pockets and wasting money on pointless projects while completely neglecting their actual core product that has been losing market share for years.
Re: State of Mozilla
#40I await the usual complaints about Mozilla's side projects as well as the dependence on the search box money from Google. Firefox is never going to be a thing as long as humanity moves from desktops to mobiles where changing the built in browser is very uncommon.

That might change soon. Seems the EU is planning to mandate allowing the browser to be changed on iOS.
