Mozilla just can’t stop taking L’s.

If this is really just hitting the advocacy division and not the Firefox programmers then it doesn’t matter much. It may even be good if they get rid of the people responsible for some of Mozilla’s more controversial and out-of-scope political activism. Hopefully they will focus more on their core products and the tech.

First, I would like to remind people that behind these layoffs that “don’t matter much” are real people who have lost their job. That matters.
Second, I think the first round of layoffs is where the Browser and Privacy folks were hit.
This is the second layoff at Mozilla this year, the first affecting dozens of employees who work on the side of the organization that builds the popular Firefox browser.

How about their CEO taking pay cuts, huh? No? Advocacy can still be useful. At least leave one person should do it.

The amount of L’s that Mozilla took in 2024 is record-breaking.
@Lukas amount of what? what is L?
@HauntSanctuary that’d be nice

On a related note, this video gives some insight into Mozilla’s situation, and to some extent, their direction under the new CEO.

When people say “out of scope” it is important to put this into context. Mozilla literally sold sex toys in their online store. Wildly inappropriate.
It’s one thing to advocate for free participation online and for policies that make room for foss, etc. and another thing to do… that.
Source? Even if that’s true it surely accounted for a negligible percentage of profits.
You’re welcome to have your opinion but it seems out of place here. They’re advocating for privacy friendly products which is particularly important with such sensitive information.

Source is me. I saw it myself when they were doing it. I think your opinion is out of place.
Perhaps Does Your Sex Toy Use Encryption?? I don’t think they “sell” them though

Yeah I saw that but I couldn’t find them being sold either. Regardless, I’m not trying to start an ideological argument.
