> "Mr Teixeira had ethical concerns regarding the layoffs because they were primarily motivated by a desire to increase profit margins at Mozilla, which was already operating at a profit," the complaint claims. "Mr Teixeira viewed this as antithetical to Mozilla’s values as espoused on their website: 'We're backed by a non-profit, which means we prioritize the interests of people first, not corporate profits.'"

I get that laying people off is not fun, but maybe the new CEO wants to build up funds so they can become independent of Google's ad money. That would make a lot of strategic sense.

It was less that they wanted to do layoffs and more that they tried to force him to layoff people with no warning, no discussion, no questions allowed and to take full and complete responsibility for said layoffs that he had no knowledge of or any say in.

I was right to dump Firefox for Brave...

:-)

Have you seen the stuff Brave gets up to? It's not any better.

ive rarely have success conviencing others on a particular browser anymore - i just give em: https://privacytests.org/

personally i go with FF/forks since its not a direct spawn from chromium/google; that and the FF containers is my go-to

(Loved you in "Galaxy Quest"!)

Whatever you think of us, no lawsuit like this one, or data collector (Pocket, I think Anonym) acquisitions, or me taking > $25M out over eight straight years of declining market share. When we err, we fix quickly and avoid repeats.
