...evidenced by the stale mothballed bug report (linked). This should be an easy bug. It should be a no-brainer that triggers a Mozilla dev to say “of course, no problem.. job done”.

It’s kind of like when Trump was asked to condemn the KKK. He had to pause and think.

Or when Peter Thiel was asked:

“Hey, what do you think? Should humanity survive?” And it took him five, six, seven seconds to say, ‘Yes, I guess so’.” (from Rutger Bregman’s lecture)

A year after the bug was raised, Mozilla has not made a decision.

This is a long standing theme on the side of Mozilla:

investing money in ai stuff, but users don't ask for it
refusal to eliminate third party cookie issue (fucking Google found a solution)
Google and it's placement as default search engine is still a major source of money for Mozilla

This will not change as long as the Mozilla foundation can not operate truly independent from cooperate money givers.

If we, as users, don't donate money, this issue will persist.

On the other hand, Mozillas decision to put money given by users into AI garbage led to me canceling my recurring bank transfer
