Good. The partnership with, acquisition of, and integration of Pocket was an embarrassment.

It was also an indication of just how bad Mozilla's management are at trying to make money. We'll see a lot more business theater like this before the team are replaces with people who know what they're doing.

The implementation may have been bad, but I thought it was a unique way to add some revenue. Pocket seemed like a useful product that would appeal to the technical focused userbase Firefox has. It's sad that it didn't work out for Mozilla.

I feel disappointed with the failure of companies like Mozilla and canonical to thrive. They have the right values, the talent, and good products. They just don't seem to be able to make money. It feels like the only way to make money is by spying on your users, or doing other unsavory things like Apple does.

If they'd ever got around to actually open-sourcing the thing like they kept promising they would, I expect people would've been more on-board with it.

I would've been happy to pay a modest subscription for a fully open-source Pocket stack with better archive management.
