Wow ouch. Didn’t realise the exec were taking so much pay. Really disappointing. Someone help me out.. where can we find the constitution for the Mozilla foundation? Who makes up the voting membership who could act on this sort of stuff at a governance level?

The bilaws state that the foundation has no members. So there’s no accountability mechanism around the performance of the board.

I’d suggest the conversation we need to have is towards adding voting members to the foundation and its bilaws.

Without the extension, you can't set a domain to always open in a particular container, at least I couldn't find a UI to do so. To me, that is a very important part of using containers. You extension also lets you sort open tabs by container but that doesn't sound very useful.

This is sort of documented in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers#w_what-you-c... #5. That page covers it but doesn't clearly spell out that the itemized features are only possible with the extension. As far as I can tell, the extension is called "Multi-Account…

Oh, I had never discovered that feature... So I won't miss it yet. Need to think whether that makes it worth to use the extension again. For now I just enabled the manual configuration and have not noted any differences yet.
