TL;DR: On the November 2025 Mozilla Support Community call, Mozilla provided updates on the recent controversy from the Japanese Support Mozilla community quitting over AI. During the call, Mozilla doubled down on AI, confirming that volunteers would be unable to disable AI translations across the entire Mozilla knowledge-base, with the American English version of articles serving as the blessed, canonical version. Locale specific contributions will be overwritten (by design) by AI.

After I cut ties with Mozilla due to their continued insulting disregard for the user response, I consider this good news.

Mozilla continues, at an ever escalating pace, to drive people away. But they're not crushing their idealism and will to create something beautiful. I expect the demize of Mozilla will give room for other, smaller projects to grow. Like web browsers, seeing how everything else is being perverted into agentic slop machines.
