Instead of leading Mozilla down a couple highly-focused paths, their leadership decided to take every single path, including social issues and more that have nothing to do with technology, web browsers, or the things that make Mozilla money.
The worst part is, they half-assed almost all of those distractions too.
Today, Mozilla is kind of like those Hollywood Actor memes - doesn't know when to say no and continues to dilute their brand in the process.
Mozilla is a flailing, dying beast because of gross negligence.
Now, Mozilla says they're going to change online advertising! Yeah, no they're not... more distractions.
They never even tried. You can donate to the top-level Mozilla Foundation but not to Mozilla Corporation, which makes the browser. People said that this was because it was a for-profit corporation. I say "rubbish" - Thunderbird is maintained by a corporate entity and accepts donations!
Nor do they look for government grants, which I think is part of how LibreOffice gets funded.
I think it's irresponsible for a government to expect its citizens to use a web interface when it doesn't officially support any browser which isn't a user-tracking advertising platform.
