No, the whole point of Mozilla is to "ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all."

Firefox, Thunderbird, and other projects are a means to that end.

Well I was there when Firefox was born (i even sent a donation and got the CD). To me these “corporate missions” are just marketing fluff. Just give me the browser.

to be fair, looking at their product page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products)

firefox (different spins) and thunderbird appears to be about it at this point. I'm glad for the work they do but I also find the entire size of the operation staggering.

This isn't a jab at Mozilla, but it's actually kind of amazing that throughout this whole time Mozilla has had only two (arguably one) large, successful, consumer-facing projects.

I think this says something about Mozilla or large organizations in general.
