“When you advertise on Mozilla’s Firefox and MDN Web Docs, you’ll connect with over 210 million selective, discerning, brand-loyal users. Because they trust us, they’ll trust you.”

Getting back on the #Mozilla topic (sorry): they did not release the state of mozilla 2025 report, as they usually do.
But we can find the 990 filing for the Mozilla foundation of year 2024 which was submitted in November 2025: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200097189/202543219349326304/full
I wasn't a good year as investment revenue dropped, while expenses kept growing, resulting in a loss of $4 million.
In the expenses, almost $11 million were invested in advocating for "trustworthy AI".

What is #Mozilla ads really?
The change is that before Mozilla had a specific list of partners for ads and sponsored bookmarks placed on the "new tab" page.
Now these ad spaces are available on the open ad market to anyone, through their new ad agency and their partners: Equativ and Index.
They claim that no user data is sent to the advertisers, but I don't know if this can be verified: they are acting as a proxy between user and advertiser, and I didn't find the source code of this proxy.

The audacity of having #mozilla's "AI" strategy allude to their success in bringing down the market share of Internet Explorer, at a time when the Firefox market share stands at *checks notes* 2-4% and falling — behind even MS Edge.
Really great slam dunk folks!

Twelve(!) years ago on this day, I started my job at #Mozilla

Firefox 147 Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New
https://linuxiac.com/firefox-147-now-available-for-download/
Dunking on people and companies is more popular than saying anything positive, but, #mozilla with #firefox created the web as we have it today.
Without them, without Gecko, we might be trying to run Internet Explorer 6.1 service pack 15.
Y'all don't remember how broken the web was with ie6 as the only viable browser. ActiveX, VBscript. Transparent PNGs were <object>s!
Nothing worked outside of ie6.
Give them the benefit of the doubt. They want an open and usable web.

Immediately restore the work of japanese language translators that you paved over with AI slop

Tiens, ce serait quoi des bonnes variables dans des belles colonnes à ajouter pour comparer éthique/antifascisme ou perméabilité, et stabilité des commu / gouvernance derrière les communs, dans ces (projets de) browsers alternatifs à #Firefox #Mozilla ? Le retoot rend le poil soyeux et garantit la gamelle à heure fixe.
