A community for discussion about Mozilla Firefox.
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.
I've uninstalled Firefox. Will the forks of Firefox also suffer from this or are they detached enough to go at it solo from here?
This technically isn't about Firefox, but about the Mozilla Support community, which supports Firefox and other Mozilla products. Forks don't direct their users to Mozilla Support, so they are not affected.
Bad documentation can spread, though. We know AI will be consuming the slop that Mozilla generates and will feed it back to people.
Isn't Mozilla also adding AI to the user experience though?
Yeah, they are.
vivaldi specifically takes an anti ai in browser stance and has a built in tracker and blocker which you can add adp syntax filterlists to.
I like Vivaldi and use it on my Linux machines. I wasn't aware and didn't bother looking for it on mobile until just now, thank you.
yeah it's not hidden hidden but it's just in the settings (for anyone else who wants it)
in mobile it's under settings > tracker and ad blocking
Waterfox is as detached as it gets. Copy over your profile folder and it's about as intrusive and experience-altering as a browser update. You can still use Mozilla's addon store if you want. Your existing addons and data will all seamlessly migrate from FF to WF.
"This" particular event is about support pages in non-English languages, not anything in the browser specifically. So "it" isn't exactly capable of impacting the browser.
how do they misread their audience base this bad?
