Firefox is fine. The people running it are not

Great article, i missed the original that spawned this article: https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/17/opinion_column_firefo...

I've been done with firefox for many years.

Librewolf, firefox fork, is the way to go; available on flathub. Obviously Brave still being main browser.

Mozilla went wrong long ago. They publicly went political and followed through with the firings. They have blogs from the ceo straight up calling for political censorship.

Even more odd, it was mostly just US politics which stands out to non-americans. They are focused on everything except the browser and so it was inevitable to decline.

Bender•3h ago
I tried librewolf and it made all the exact same calls out that Firefox did on shutdown. Now I just disable the network before killing Firefox and then run bleachbit. I also mount some directories as tmpfs. What are the benefits of librewolf over Firefox? I could not find any. AFAIK its still just Firefox under the hood.

got any links?

Not GP but their mention brings to memory these HN discussion I had read years ago and the comments probably already have more than this thread will discuss:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29884342 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25690941

It looks like the blog post was taken down several months later, so I had to pull this copy to see what it was https://web.archive.org/web/20210108192114/https://blog.mozi...

Doesn't look like censorship at all.

> Transparency on advertisers

Sounds good.

> Transparency on "algorithms"

Also sounds good.

> Improve algorithms to highlight facts over fiction

Considering he isn't calling for anyone to be censored, only promote facts, I don't see much issue.

zamadatix•35m ago
She builds off of "requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms" with "Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation". Whether deplatforming or "amplifying factual voices over disinformation" are seen as a good thing, they are censorship. She also mixes some good ideas in that (particularly platform algorithm transparency) of course.
guywithahat•50m ago
I'm not OP, and I'm at work so I can't get the links for you, but the CEO/company was pretty vocal about the need for censorship, especially around and after the 2016 election. It's a legitimate concern, and it's why I don't use Mozilla products if possible. The company is run by ideology and could blow up at any moment
GeekyBear•2h ago
Compared to the people running Chrome, the people running Firefox are merely annoying.

My main issue with the people running Mozilla is that they have wasted vast sums of money on executive salaries and their half baked notions of new initiatives the company should take up (and later abandon) that don't involve building web browsers, email clients, or supporting development tools.

ZeroGravitas•2h ago
Weird mix of complaints, attacking Mozilla both from the ultra purity of non-profit web standards side via JWZ while simultaneously complaining they don't run it like a business.

I have a far more different gripe than this.

Firefox seems to needlessly introduce features I barely need. Check their new release, 140.0

They introduced a toggle in the address bar to show the window title. Who tf is asking for this?

This browser just needs to be as simple as it can, without all this feature bloat.

IDK, a lot of people claim to need to be able to manage several hundred of open tabs.
