every announcement I see from Mozilla makes me happier that I switched to WaterFox last year and don't have to deal with their shit any more

Now this is the kind of Mozilla project I can get behind it focuses on the browser it gives a potential path for revenue and I practically jumped up and down when they announced their bringing in Thunderbird.

Solid props to Mozilla for this one. Good job.

And yet, still no simple way to self host the their syncserver (syncstorage-rs) without the mozilla account abomination.

No public price information. I wonder how much they charge.

> Firefox Enterprise puts customer privacy, independence and control first.

So what before came as main advantage of Firefox is now dropped and put behind the paywall?

Does this mean they will remove "AI controls" (i.e. a way to completely shut all LLM shit off) from normal Firefox?

I can't think of a single enterprise who I have worked with or know who'd pay for this when there's Chrome or Edge available.

Once again Mozilla invents stuff noone wants. Its just incredible how an "org" with so much income fails again and again

Does it block ads like Brave without installing extensions? Tracking is one of the worst plagues of modern browsing so blocking all kinds of tracking and fingerprinting should be the first concern in an enterprise. Nothing should leak to the outside world

So much negativity in here. I mean, I get the antipathy toward Mozilla, but they're trying to find a way to make the actual browser a revenue stream. Yeah it could skew incentives or something, but unless you believe that you, and everyone you know is ready to start a paid subscription to Firefox Personal tomorrow, it's something like this, or more Google deals and pushing "service" integrations.

Seriously, this place is so damn negative these days, but not even constructively.

Probably the most practical idea Firefox has had to maintain and possibly build up its market share in a long time.

This was needed. A lot of large businesses ban Firefox because they don't have these kind of controls. I literally can't test Firefox on my work computer because company policy prevents it being installed. And that kind of thing really hurts Firefox.
