I tried and tried for months and months. As IT consultants our biggest headache WAS Firefox. One thing after another after we upgraded the client's legacy machines to Win 10. One thing after another -- all day long ! Under Win 10 we have the Tab Crash Plague, the Video Freeze Plague and the cluelessness of Firefox 'support'. I deleted our support account so I am using the business Email account for this. EVERY NEW RELEASE IS A SUBSET OF NEW PROBLEMS. like Microsoft, new releases blow up in you face -- or breach your privacy with malice aforethought.
What I found most interesting is the impending failure of the Mozilla organization that never properly supported Firefox or vetted new releases. Now I see paid services (useless VPN) that are being trotted out to save the organization. It's not going to work -- it never has that I have seen anywhere. "Yeah, we suck -- but buy this other stuff from us !".
Mozilla is in the process of failing. The 2-million mark for users will prompt developers to abandon Firefox compatibility. It's moving in that direction rather nicely. I have more IT experience than anyone your organization employs -- that's why some state agencies and businesses won't let me retire and I consult year round part time. NP -- they pay anything I charge. I have seen it all -- especially failing software organizations. Mozilla will end up absorbed by Google and become one of the great Privacy Busters. Resorted to privacy busting because the core business failed -- have we ever seen that before ? I know how read to packet streams on the network packet analyzer (brand name suppressed) and I can watch privacy busting in real time. YOU PEOPLE have already sold your souls to Google. After that happens, I abandon any such organization -- as we have with Firefox.
I hope you people know Mozilla is already making noises about a buyer -- likely Google. How do I know that ? I know people you don't -- including an FTC executive who happens to be my brother.
One of the more INTENTIONAL business failures I have ever seen -- done right in the faces of those complaining and encouraging more user centricity. Over the years I saw all that ignored -- EVEN AS FIREFOX'S MARKET SHARE CRASHED TO IRRELEVANCE.
My business morals would have had me walk away from your organization years ago -- because it was obvious where things were headed. Now we see the hangers-on staying with the organization, hoping for a return to the Glory Days.
This private consultancy has completed the abandonment of Firefox, as of yesterday. Privacy was the reason we adopted Firefox years ago -- free and committed to privacy. Don't be so ignorant as to think we didn't notice Mozilla selling users out to Google. We almost abandoned your organization back then.
As for the volunteers Mozilla exploits to avoid any expenses related to user problems -- it's over. Get out. Delete your affiliation from professional synopses and CV. The 'support engineer' title you are so fond of has been devalued to ZERO. I NEVER ONCE hired anyone from a failed organization -- they gotta be Winners and Go-getters. Get out any retain any vestiges or shards of credibility that remain.
The owner is mad as a scalded cat and told me to "...let those bastards know how lousy they and everything to do with their organization is !" Mission completed 8:18:52 hrs 12 September 2026.
