What would you say if they had a big party with a lot of PR/marketing behind it;
"they're wasting all this money to have fun instead of making the product better"?
Absolutely. But running after the latest hypetrain bullshit and managers cashing out on corporation income is more important to them.
Till this day the mobile browser absolutely sucks (you don't have a tab bar and you can't even set a homepage! What the hell?!) and the desktop browser gets slower with every update. But at least we now have AI nonsense, not stylable UI by default, and massive loads of telemetry and user tracking only configurable via about:config.
Firefox could be such an awesome browser if it would be modernized, made faster, and made fully configurable (mobile and desktop alike).
I'm not mad at the main devs or the volunteers. They do an awesome job! The state Firefox is in is entirely the fault of the foundation management.

Huh, always assumed that Firefox was much older than 2004. I remember using it in 2005/2006 for the first time.
basically since the 90s if you consider netscape, considering firefox was spun of from them
And between the two we had Mozilla Suite (which is what SeaMonkey basically is today)
It was called Firebird in late 2003, and earlier that year it was called Mozilla.
I'm pretty sure it was Phoenix before it was Firebird. They had to change away from both names due to naming conflicts from other projects.
I've been here the entire time and I have never been thrilled.
Nothing good is about to happen to that mascot suit.

That's the joke.
Why did they change this icon?
Wheeeee!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Wheeeee!
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Cake and beer!

We all knew the enshitification was coming when they put someone from Airbnb in charge. It begins by sucking up to Russia.
They suspended it temporarily while they figured out what to do, then reinstated already.
Is that really necessary here?
That seems kinda sad and pathetic for a celebration.
What would you say if they had a big party with a lot of PR/marketing behind it;
"they're wasting all this money to have fun instead of making the product better"?
Yes, because they just want to shit on stuff.
Most of the money does not go into the browser anyways.
It really should...
Absolutely. But running after the latest hypetrain bullshit and managers cashing out on corporation income is more important to them.

Used by the Kremlin themselves aww .
Also the Firefox suit look fucking depressed .
Ah, you're here to shit on something you're out of the loop on
Wait did they go back on it ?
Yes. And as they said they only temporarily suspended it while they figured out what their options were.
