Curious.
I keep a close eye on the job listings posted to Mozilla’s job board. They don’t post new job openings very often, so I always want to be tuned in when new listing pop up. All of a sudden, a lot of new job openings have appeared for a company that just laid off 36 people…

Layoffs sometimes mean freeing up salaries for different positions (e.g. a company pivoting). Curious jobs though, not really sure what to read from those tea leaves…
once more, how much does that garbage ceo costs?
Not enough that its worth.
$6.9 mil the last time they said. And that was in a year where CEO salary was (on average) cut across all for-profit companies, because even businesses react to market forces sometimes.
the idea of putting people before profit feels increasingly radical
What. The. Fuck.
Probably because of the ad corp they bought
Nah it’s not news that their ethos has been fading away for a long time now and that Mozilla just really isn’t what it used to be a decade ago.
We’re gonna end up with a Blink monopoly, aren’t we?
My hope is that Mozilla stops working on Firefox and the Linux Foundation creates a new Firefox fork and finances the project. It would be the official Linux browser.
Nothing stopping them from forking it now
There is no need to at the moment, that’s stopping them. Like with Redis, there was a need to fork it. My hope is that the Linux Foundation does not see any other way than doing it themselves.
The Linux foundation is still trying to take Servo out of the ground
Either you die young or you live long enough to turn into the Blink engine.mm
The CEO salary will also get a 30% cut right? Right?
Now that Google isn’t allowed to pay them default search engine money, I think this was expected.
Ideologically I think it’s a good thing the US government is challenging Google’s monopolistic practices. Unfortunately, that money was a massive percentage of Mozilla’s income.
It really was short-sighted of them to put so many eggs into one basket.
Mozilla frankly could use some serious restructuring. If Brave was able to get a decent market share overnight surely a well known company can make a come back.
Mozilla has a management problem
Mozilla is not brave enough for this change.
Hear hear. Trim the fat, and start at the head.

This is the Mozilla foundation, not the Mozilla corp. The latter has the deal with Google; the former couldn’t make that deal even if they wanted to.
