http://status.hackerposse.com/url/22340 Starts with a comparison of #Firefox market share and the pay of #Mozilla's top executive I did not search for it, but around the time they laid off 1/4 of their workforce, I thought I saw something about some pay reductions for their top management. http://status.hackerposse.com/url/22341 My personal assessment is this: as the browser… -

Just reading an article about #Mozilla's out-of-control administration costs and see some grumbles about #Wikimedia / #Wikipedia there also. http://calpaterson.com/mozilla.html -

The thought occurs to me that with #Mozilla laying off about 1/4 of its workforce, they may not be able to keep https://ssl-config-mozilla.org/ updated. That would be a tragedy. -

When I write these things, I’m not trying to condemn #Mozilla. Once their primary funder also became their primary competitor, the handwriting was on the wall. Unless a new fiscal beneficiary suddenly appears or one of these money-making products catches on, their future is bleak. Probably the last hope is to make Firefox code understandable enough that the user community c… -

The decisions that #Mozilla made in their search for more money have not made things better, either. They integrated #Pocket into Firefox and eventually purchased Pocket, but privacy-aware people have always considered Pocket and similar software to be dangerous. Thus, “use Firefox, the privacy-oriented browser” becomes “avoid Firefox unless you turn off their data-collec… -

I think I’ve written this before, but back in their heyday, #Mozilla was flying high, driven by the funds coming from its search deal with #Google. When the GOOG started to cut back and then launched a competing browser, Moz panicked (rightly) because all the high-sounding promises they made were predicated on this huge level of funding that went away. Now that #Firefox hold… -

Looks like #Mozilla is in some trouble. Laid off 1/4 of its workforce—250 people—and is going to focus on revenue-generating projects. https://nu.federati.net/url/273858 [www theverge com] -

@geniusmusing@nu.federati.net I guess one more possible funding source is creating customized mail clients atop the FOSS version of #Thunderbird, but after the way they failed with #Eudora, I doubt anyone would trust #Mozilla to invest the resources to make such a thing viable. -

With the sudden realization that #Enigmail has been able to decrypt #email permanently upon reception for the last 3 years, I'm excited about using #PGP #crypto w/ #Enigmail again!

Am I the only one who thinks #mozilla's idea that "you don't want [just] 1/4 of your computer's power" used by the browser, that "you want _all of it_" taken for _every page_ sounds... insane? https://www.youtube.com/embed/2RhbYpgVpg0?start=93&end=107 -
