Literally just focus on making firefox better. Which isn't even an option on the survey.

It's crazy I needed to enter "develop Firefox" as an other field for what Mozilla's main focus should be.

It's a survey for what the Mozilla Foundation should be focussing on. Firefox development happens at the Mozilla Corporation (which is a subsidiary of the Foundation, but operates pretty independently).

I doubt they are that far apart

i wonder if it's a sign of things to come from the foundation since they're never going to be able to viably compete with the likes of google or microsoft.

They shouldn't try to complete

Find a few seminiche markets and run with it. They need to create something useful that people would pay for and then jump on it early and spend years getting it good.

I think they really should branch into cybersecurity. They could start by having the Mozilla foundation evaluate and provide support for Foss developers
