Does Mozilla even follow their own Manifesto?

> Individuals’ security and privacy on the Internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional.

So having Google as the default search engine is the right approach for privacy?

> Free and open source software promotes the development of the Internet as a public resource.

We are still waiting for Pocket's server source code...

> Magnifying the public benefit aspects of the Internet is an important goal, worthy of time, attention and commitment.

What does that even mean? They stopped at 9 and had no idea how to make it to 10 and ended up with wrapping buzz words into one sentence?

Sigh. Looks like Mozilla management hasn’t been able to sense the zeitgeist, after their latest downsizing, so let me spell it out for them:

Dear Moz://a management: Everyone is already on board with your ideals of open Internet. What you need to do is get your house in order and focus on your core competency i.e. the web browser and related tooling. You won’t get a seat at the table of Internet biggies if you’re a has been entity.

I don't think that's the case. Increasingly content is being placed in walled gardens which you don't get full access to that content unless you have an account. Google is still pushing AMP. Chrome is becoming the new IE, and sites that 'work best' or only work with Chrome are not uncommon. Those (and many other) factors don't indicate to me that everyone is on board with the ideal of an open Internet.
