why do you care where the patches come from?

[kobayashi]

One might care where the patches come from as a volunteer community could be less reliable over time than the paid Mozilla staff. I know I certainly feel that way.

[raesene9]

But if you prefer security updates from paid employees of an organization rather than volunteers, surely a commercial product rather than a free one would be more suitable for your needs?

[kobayashi]

Not necessarily. I appreciate the values for which Mozilla stands, and those values are entrenched in their products.

[raesene6]

So you're looking for an organisation who will use non-free employees to give you a product for free?

[kobayashi]

I really don't see your point.

[Endy]

It doesn't feel that way anymore.

[icebraining]

In what way? I'm wary of some of Mozilla's decisions, but their allegiance to their mission & manifesto doesn't seem at stake.

The people who are making these complaints are disproportionately those who have no problem using Debian or Arch, so I don't think that's the crux of the issue for them.
