it should be "We need to focus on the browser" -> lays off employees and pushes feature requests to the open-sorce volunteer community to fill as they see fit.
Firefox should only exist to be a standards-compliant browser (not part of the Google ecosystem). It should not be using Google WebExtensions or a Google manifest. Anything beyond the bare minimum of compliance with the W3C's published standard should be a community made addon or plugin.

Absolutely right. It shouldn't collaborate with any for-profit entity, or non-profit entity captured by for-profit entities. Everything should be about maintaining the base engine at compatibility to open standards, and pushing everything else to either the community or volunteers in the non-profit.

Addons are important though, and they fucked with developers quite a bit in the past. Making the developers start over again is probably going to piss them further.

Oh, I agree. We're past the point of no return now. Our only hope lies in Ladybird. I'm holding out hope for that engine, though only slightly.

I mean "Just focus on the browser" does not generates enough money to focus on the browser. I don't want to excuse mozilla management, but they need to try some things to generate money.

Sure, but most of the projects they are criticized for (like adding the ad measurements API and AI summaries) were never going to make them money.

Yeah they’re kinda trapped into playing the capitalism game/as are we all. Find me a non-profit, non-chromium, non-fork of Firefox and I’ll eat my hat…
…and I’d love to eat my hat. Won’t someone make me eat my hat??

Even RMS gave up on curl and elinks

Not wrong given that browsers aren't easy to maintain, but they couls start by not paying their CEO millions.
