@tommi@firefox@mozilla Smh, They really need to bring back the Merch store. I used to see it as a kid but as soon as I turned adult and able to buy something, There's no more merch store.
Likely cost more than the funding it would have or was bringing in to support Firefox development
That seems kinda sad and pathetic for a celebration.
What would you say if they had a big party with a lot of PR/marketing behind it;
"they're wasting all this money to have fun instead of making the product better"?
Yes, because they just want to shit on stuff.
Most of the money does not go into the browser anyways.
It really should...
Absolutely. But running after the latest hypetrain bullshit and managers cashing out on corporation income is more important to them.
Till this day the mobile browser absolutely sucks (you don't have a tab bar and you can't even set a homepage! What the hell?!) and the desktop browser gets slower with every update. But at least we now have AI nonsense, not stylable UI by default, and massive loads of telemetry and user tracking only configurable via about:config.
Firefox could be such an awesome browser if it would be modernized, made faster, and made fully configurable (mobile and desktop alike).
I'm not mad at the main devs or the volunteers. They do an awesome job! The state Firefox is in is entirely the fault of the foundation management.
Tommi π€―@pan.rent to 
Huh, always assumed that Firefox was much older than 2004. I remember using it in 2005/2006 for the first time.
basically since the 90s if you consider netscape, considering firefox was spun of from them
And between the two we had Mozilla Suite (which is what SeaMonkey basically is today)
It was called Firebird in late 2003, and earlier that year it was called Mozilla.
I'm pretty sure it was Phoenix before it was Firebird. They had to change away from both names due to naming conflicts from other projects.
I've been here the entire time and I have never been thrilled.
Why did they change this icon?
#Firefox has CUTTING EDGE performance!

@tommi
They should use scissors instead of a knife, as a symbol for supporting Russian censorship.

That really hurts.
@Dirk
As a supporter for >15 years, it hurts me that @mozilla / @firefox bow to the Russian autocracy.
It's the choice of either blocking some extension(s) or getting their whole domains blocked in russia, so mozilla chose the first
@levzzz
I know, but these extensions are essential for circumventing censorship.
This is exactly, what I call "bowing to an autocracy".
K, that's why they undid the the temporary change.
I am not going to support the foundation.

I miss the old one. The current one isn't great.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

We all knew the enshitification was coming when they put someone from Airbnb in charge. It begins by sucking up to Russia.
They suspended it temporarily while they figured out what to do, then reinstated already.
Is that really necessary here?
