Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

All new leadership?
It's a bit niche, and I'm probably one of the few people who daily drove them when they were a thing, but bring back Firefox OS phones - they were a bit ahead of their time, but now that every app is a browser window anyway it'd probably be fine, and people are craving a mobile OS alternative to Android and iOS.
Sure, I'd personally prefer something a bit more powerful, so maybe a joint project between Mozilla, and a linux phone distro like PostmarketOS would be cool. Or (since I'm already in fantasy land) depending on hardware, considering Valve's work on ARM for the Steam Frame, maybe a partnership with them.
Granted, it's been close to a decade since I daily drove FirefoxOS, there's always a chance I'm remembering things as better than they were. I should dig my old FirefoxOS Phones out and do a bit of a retrospective look at them.
FirefoxOS lives on as KaiOS, which I have used - It's fine.
Right now the most credible third option for the mobile space seems to be linux mobile, which is already pretty well along. I'm not sure it needs a mozilla partnership to get more mature.
