Where's Firefox going next?

Despite criticisms and leadership woes, Firefox remains a strong open-source choice — faster and more secure than many alternatives.
Mozilla’s management struggles overshadow a browser still trusted by many for privacy and innovation. Read more: https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/08/firefox_isnt_dead/ #Firefox #OpenSource #Privacy

As much as I love the way #vivaldi_browser handles tabs, tab groups and workspaces, I've reluctantly moved back to #firefox. Poor memory management and regular freezes make #Vivaldi almost completely unusable and it's been getting worse with every new release. Shame.
*EDIT* - Added 'workspaces'.
@thunderbird j'ai déjà eu l'occasion de le dire sur https://connect.mozilla.org/ (#ConnectMozilla), mais avec l'arrivé des tiroirs de dossiers pleinement fonctionnelle, il me reste les "filtres de messages" que j'aimerais aussi retrouvé sur #Android #Thunderbird #Firefox #Mozilla
@TechCrunch no mention of @mozilla #Firefox. This is journalistic malpractice.
@gabrielesvelto I still remember #FirefoxOS and I'm still mad at @Mozilla / @mozilla_support / #Mozilla for self-sabotaging because neither me nor @fuchsiii nor anyone else I knew who did #WebDev / #AppDev / #MobileDev could even buy a device.
I mean it's cool that one could just use #Firefox as #Emulator but no #mobile #OperatingSystem will have any chance of market attraction if one cannot buy the bloody thing!
Mozilla VPN is now on Flathub.
Apparently the #Firefox bug with drop-down menus was introduced 3+ years ago, and only affects window managers with a focus-follows-mouse policy... and it's been reported several times and never fixed because they just don't care about people who are using the standard window manager (the only one shipped with X since 1988!), only users of bloated desktop environments (which I guess are now universally click-to-focus). The bug was introduced as a workaround for a different bug.
A friend likes to watch TV/VIdeos on her Windows laptop, but using the speakers, not ear phones.
Now: Some films and series (especially on Netflix) are not loud enough to understand the dialogues properly.
She was desperate.
However: I quickly checked for browser plugins to boost volume and there are (for #Firefox for sure, but most certainly for #Chrome, too).
Worked perfectly, and now all her friends (wrongly) think, I am kind of a tech wizard.
Becoming "famous" made easy.

Between Marc Andreesen's fashy antics and this new article by The Register, now I'm thinking about @jwz thinking to himself...
Do we need to start a #draftjwz movement for #firefox or something?!

'Firefox is Fine. The People Running It are Not' - "Firefox is dead to me," wrote Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols last month for The Regist... - https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/07/12/0534248/firefox-is-fine-the-people-running-it-are-not?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed #firefox
… OTOH do like the now expanded space on the phone for the toots.
Cool thing I’ve discovered recently: in #Firefox on macOS you can use CMD+SHIFT+TAB keyboard shortcut to restore recently closed tab.
I wish I knew it before, would save me a lot of time each time I accidentally close a tab, which happens quite often
A bloated organization with a lot of money (not so much after the verdict in the Google antitrust case) making bad decisions on what to integrate into Firefox.
I wish the Firefox project would go the way of the Thunderbird project.
Ask the community for donations, give them a say in most wanted features to implement on the roadmap and get rid of the company CEO structure or at least of the board of directors.

「 Stop copying Chrome. The Australis theme in 2013 is what drove the Pale Moon project to fork the code. The all-in-one Seamonkey project still exists, too. We occasionally use its WYSIWYG HTML editor – even today, there's nothing else like it. It used to be official. Maybe it should be again 」
