Mozilla seems, at least to me, to be becoming more and more like the GNOME project. It's projecting a constant stream of unusual, if not outright bad, ideas and actions.<p>The Firefox version numbering debacle, including the constant problems it caused for extensions, was just plain silly.<p>Then there's Firefox Mobile. I've always found it very inferior to the other commonly-available mobile browsers. Aside from trying it out briefly, there was no reason to continue using it. This is probably the same for others, and likely why its uptake basically hasn't happened at all.<p>Earlier this year they seem to have withdrawn their interest in Thunderbird, which is by far one of their better offerings.<p>More recently, there's been a lot said about Firefox OS. There's a very good chance that this will become an unused, uninspiring, generally-ignored product, much like Firefox Mobile.<p>And now there's this decision.<p>Redirecting effort away from applications that are actually used, like Firefox and Thunderbird, toward things that clearly have little to no future, like Firefox Mobile or Firefox OS, just doesn't make sense.
