No, there's no connection to Soros.*

Also, there's no change for Firefox or Thunderbird in testing now, which means that you will not see any changes in the foreseeable future.

More info on what Mozilla is doing: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/08/08/mozilla-information-trust-initiative-building-movement-fight-misinformation-online/

Note this first phase: "Later this year, Mozilla will be releasing original research on how misinformation impacts users’ experiences online. We will be drawing on a dataset of user-level browsing data gathered during the 2016 U.S. elections."


To keep up with future changes in Firefox from sources that know Firefox well, I suggest:

This subreddit has information and debate about all changes and controversies related to Firefox: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/

This site publishes details of upcoming technical changes to Firefox, useful add-ons, workarounds, and lots of commenting: https://www.ghacks.net/?s=firefox
