That person doesn't work at Mozilla or on free software at all anymore. It was a bad tweet, but it's past the time to reasonably hold that against Mozilla.

Mozilla has a lot of problems, and it would be better to blame them for the problems that are still around rather than a bad tweet from months ago by someone not employed at Mozilla any longer.

Past time? She left in February.
She left near the beginning of the year and we're nearing the end of the year.
And the changes she was involved in have yet to be rolled back.

Long shadows happen when developers have user-hostile attitudes.

It's fine to acknowledge that Firefox for anything but desktop sucks now. I do pretty often, actually:

But complaining about a problem that Mozilla's already gotten rid of is counterproductive at best.

Just don't mind the gap in security on your desktop, then?

Or do you disable JS?
