  Which is one more stupid thing from Mozilla. Imagine if, 10 years ago, they had made a combo of: Firefox, Thunderbird, email hosting, maybe some kind of online office thing and a drive, Sync… That could have been the ultimate productivity package for “Office” stuff inside one convenient subscription.

  Instead we now have Office 365, Google Docs, and nothing more.

    Add some better CEO/management to the mix, but yes.

    I want separate apps that are really good at what they do, not a bunch of apps that kinda work together and are just okay. So I would much rather they focus on one thing and services around it. Such as:

    • online payments - make a way for me to compensate sites in lieu of ads
    • secure storage - bookmarks, files, notes, all from the browser; or self host
    • VPN integrated into the browser - exists

    Everything should be opt-in and privacy centered, and all of that can be browser extensions.

    Don’t give them subscription ideas, even mentioning subscriptions is dangerous!

      Firefox is the kind of software where I would gladly pay $10 a month to support its development.

      Dismantle Mozilla, give the money to Firefox, profit.

        Exactly. I’d donate today if my money actually went to Firefox.

    So a bit like extending Mozilla Application Suite aka Seamonkey instead of focusing on standalone products?

    LibreOffice: “I’m right here”

      libreOffice is so ugly that every time I use it I get a strong urge to start using Microsoft edge

        It really is a shame that it looks so terrible. It’s a really solid office suite otherwise, but I agree that it’s not a pleasure to use simply because of how ugly it is

  They do. Well, I should say Thunderbird is also under the Foundation, but is developed by a separate subsidiary Corp (MZLA Tech Corp) than Firefox (Mozilla Corp).
