This is largely in anticipation of the devastating drop in revenue if Google can no longer pay them to be the default search engine. That&#x27;s where they get 86% of their revenue [0].<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fortune.com&#x2F;2024&#x2F;08&#x2F;05&#x2F;mozilla-firefox-biggest-potential-loser-google-antitrust-search-ruling&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fortune.com&#x2F;2024&#x2F;08&#x2F;05&#x2F;mozilla-firefox-biggest-poten...</a>

Not surprising as the CEO and board prevented the should=be-CEO from having the position because that person was recovering from cancer treatment.

All they had to do was to focus on doing the best browser, and email client.

Lots of people confusing the Mozilla Foundation, the non-profit that &quot;steers&quot; the Mozilla mission, with the Mozilla Corporation, which is the for-profit that makes Firefox. They&#x27;re two different organizations: the Foundation has literally nothing to do with Firefox.<p>The Foundation is a <i>tiny</i> org that until yesterday I&#x27;d have described as &quot;working on living the Mozilla manifesto through advocacy and programs&quot;. How it&#x27;s going to stay relevant without its advocacy staff is a complete mystery to me.

How sad. Who will pickup the baton for the advocacy that Mozilla is abandoning, Internet Archive may have to forfeit ...<p>Why are all these projects having problems at the same time, as the economy booms?<p>&gt; “Navigating this topsy-turvy, distracting time requires laser focus — and sometimes saying goodbye to the excellent work that has gotten us this far because it won’t get us to the next peak,” wrote Syed<p>What is topsy-turvy for Mozilla?

They opened up Mozilla VPN to Australians overnight. 50% off opening special so only AUD7.50 per month on the annual plan...
