    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 holds a small sliver of its former market share, and nearly all of its competitors build upon Google’s code (which forked from Apple’s code, which itself was forked from KDE’s code), the going is rough and getting rougher.

    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.

    I see a few #conspiracy_theories posts alleging that #Mozilla may have intentionally let the certificate expire for this reason or that one. I'm sorry, but if you've ever run any site, you've had a cert expire unexpectedly. At least give Mozilla credit for being humans such as yourself, instead of reading evil intent into a mistake that you and I have also made.

    My response:

    "I'm glad they are finally tackling this. But there's a better way to do this, and it can be done for both private and public browsing: Outside of the same domain, referer should only contain the domain. Period.

    In the age of surveillance, there's no good reason to send more information than that to 3rd parties."

    When a FOSS organisation behaves the way that Mozilla did, adding insult to injury with their statement in denial, it's the job of the FOSS community to tell them they're fucking up.

    Not optional, it's a duty.

    If #Mozilla wants to regain some momentum, they should completely shut down #Adobe #Flash in 2018Q1. They can then brag loudly about being first to protect users from a dangerously insecure and resource-crazy plugin.

    Today I received a sponsored ad from them in my email for a well known online mattress retailer.

    Now I'm not sure I want to even use pocket anymore.

    That's a really bad look #mozilla.
