Ailing company? Cut it to pieces, that'll probably fix it. I'd like the idea better if I could believe there's a chance in hell they'd choose the right 30%.

Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Sorry, but no. The people making the cutting decisions are not going to cut their own jobs; and they are always part of the problem. It's why companies only get more shitty over time.
the advocacy is the reason why i continued to support mozilla/firefox.
this is horrible. :(
Yeah, I'm sort of hoping the folks they laid off weren't actually the advocacy folks, and they're just additionally doing the restructure and moving the advocacy folks into the other departments.
But yeah, I don't fucking know what to think of it. I do have a base-level of trust that they'd make a sensible decision in some dimension. But I'd really like to know more where they're headed now...
that would 100% be the right move but i worry
RIP Mozilla Foundation 🪦
Not dead yet 🙏
That's sad.
Does anyone have a non chromium browser that still works on the modern internet they can suggest?
Open source and linux required for me but any suggestions are welcome.
I've been tooling around with palemoon but I'm definitely interested in any different architecture that's not Mullvad.
None that will continue to exist, if Mozilla falls apart...
WebKit wise, I think otter releases have stalled, epiphany and konquerer are plausible options though?
Is that the place where they fire people while increasing the CEO salary or is this something else, the Mozilla setup is so confusing.
Kind of expected when Google was declared a monopoly in the courts.
Google has the deal with the Mozilla Corporation, whereas this is the Mozilla Foundation. It should have relatively little influence, if any...
Good catch - you're right.
