Quote from one of the tweets confirming it: "They killed entire threat management team. Mozilla is now without detection and incident response."
I’ve known about the security team, and I remember hearing that even prior to that, a CTF event had banned Firefox exploits as too easy.
I am doing it next time I open my work laptop. I mean what is the single most important class of features in a browser? Security. I feel dumb for waiting so long.
This makes me sad. I was emotionally invested invested in Mozilla and that caused an error in judgment.

I use Firefox, but only because of "browser diversification" and privacy. Other options are worse not because Firefox is a superior product. It's sad really.
But I feel like I would be doing a disservice to myself, and my employers, by continuing to use a less secure browser, just because I’m religious about Mozilla.
