Mozilla isn’t just another tech company — we’re a global crew of activists, technologists and builders, all working to keep the internet free, open and accessible. For over 25 years, we’ve championed the idea that the web should be for everyone, no matter who you are or where you’re from. Now, with a brand refresh, we’re looking ahead to the next 25 years (and beyond), building on our work and developing new tools to give more people the control to shape their online experiences.

Most of Mozilla's money of course comes from Google to make them the default search engine on Firefox. And of course its a way for Google to ensure there's at least one alternative browser engine. Reading about how Texeira was recently fired and how executives have been pushing for AI features for a long time, Mozilla certainly loves chasing trends and then forgetting them, like how Google kills lots of products. It seems like the company can't stand on its own two feet without Google's funding and is poorly run.

What happened to Mozilla over the years? How much effort did they put in to trying to be a successful tech company? because it hasn't been until the past few that I really started following Firefox and Mozilla news.

I wonder if Mozilla could've been Proton, years before Proton AG existed, making their own comprehensive suite of privacy-friendly tools, since Mozilla makes privacy their brand. And they were late to the smartphone game with Firefox OS. If they were smart, they would've ensured their long term survival with an actual business, to continue funding development of their privacy and FOSS software like Firefox, without large funding sources like Google.

That's disappointing. I love #FireFox and #Mozilla but this is the wrong direction. The org doesn't appear to have a strong strategy, constantly moving from VPN, to fedi, to AI. Supporting federated services is such an obviously good long-term play for their mission, so to end their Mastodon instance is unfortunate.

#Mozilla #Firefox 130.0.1 is out now to fix black rendering of AVIF images on #Linux when Firefox is built with GCC and a recent regression causing some UI elements to be rendered as left-to-right instead of right-to-left for users of the Saraiki localization.

So it seems that people are not happy about the addition of AI features in Firefox...

You can let Mozilla know that you are against them adding AI to their products.

Native support for ed25519/x25519 in the browser would be a huge step forward for in-browser/client-side cryptography.

Looks like Google is holding up our ability to use it in production.

(Firefox and Safari both have support enabled by default.)

If you update a laptop from Ubuntu 22.04.3 to 24.04.1 and the screen is blank with an 'x' cursor after login, do this:

1. control+alt+F1 to go to a tty and login, then:
2. sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-session

Further, if #thunderbird doesn't launch, remove the snap installation and install de deb package directly from mozilla (he --purge is so that it doesn't generate adn store a ~4 GB copy of the install). First, do:

$ sudo snap remove --purge thunderbird
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa
$ sudo apt update

Then paste this below into a file ( /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozillateamppa-thunderbird ) to tell the apt system that you prefer mozilla's over any other package:

Package: thunderbird*
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
Pin-Priority: 1001

... and install:
$ sudo apt install thunderbird

The same can be done for firefox if you'd rather skip the snap package.

I'm using Firefox with uBlock Origin on both android and windows. I'm finding more and more sites that are very slow to load, or won't load at all. Yet when I open them in Chrome they work fine. I'm assuming the sites are just failing because of the privacy protection features of ff+ubo, and I'm happy enough to just avoid these shitty sites in general. But - I'm just checking to see - is this expected behaviour, might I have configuration issues?

Say NO to AI in the #Firefox browser - have your say here;

That's two longstanding items on my firefox wishlist taken care of by an extension: Actual working volume controls on the built-in media player, and a volume control for other crappy web players that don't have them.

I am quite happy they added the borders, but I know some people use high-contrast themes as a base for their own theming and don't want this, in this case, add this to your userChrome.css:

:root {
  --toolbarbutton-outline: none !important;
}
