Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I have something better. Rip off the whole top Mozilla managers and give the job to people who actually care
They need a massive number of devs for that. In order to finance that massive number of devs without a Google deal, they would need to do even more on top that you would dislike.
Mozilla's dependency on Google has apparently warped their activism into fighting against these antitrust lawsuits since early 2025:
- Mozilla exec warns DOJ remedies in Google monopoly trial could crush Firefox (May 2025)
- Defending an open web: What the Google search ruling means for the future (Mozilla CEO Laura Chambers, September 2025)
Then Firefox has failed. What Firefox should be would always benefit from the destruction of the Corporate Web.
It won't cause the destruction of the corporate web. It would cause the destruction of the open web.
Badly designed antitrust measures can reduce competition. Considering the influence of lobbyists, we have to consider that the system is working as intended.
i gave to mozilla not because of their search deal with google but because they actively sought to fight back against toxicity on the web and internet bro culture but the new ceo backtracked on that.
go back to championing a not for profit, people first, anti toxic internet instead of relying on corporations to be your sugar daddy and you'll survive.
So.. librewolf?
i mean i use librewolf but i'm talking about the whole of the mozilla organisation, which focuses on positive change and evangelism for the internet.
Ya know, even if Mozilla set up a search engine selection prompt and set up “pay for placement” model, they could still get paid. They just wouldn’t make as much $$ because the deal wouldn’t be exclusive to one provider.
There are some pretty strong indicators that every search engine in Firefox is due to some kind of opaque under-the-table deal.
