Logo on the top right has never been used as a logo for the Firefox Browser. It’s used for the Firefox brand of products
where?
Two of these have since been discontinued, one is a Have I Been Pwned reskin. Poor Mozilla, struggling to find alternative revenue sources to cut its Google dependence.
Honestly they should take notes from the Wikimedia Foundation. While they are funded by donations, Wikimedia created a trust that will ensure, without hyperbole, that they never run out of cash
I assume that developing and maintaining a browser with its own HTML/JS/CSS engine is orders of magnitude more expensive than running Wikipedia's servers though. There's a reason why all other browser companies (except Apple) are all building on top of Chrome.
Idk they could also pay the CEO less money too.
What kind of freedom hating pinko talk is that?
I don't know what she does day to day, but Firefox usage is going down the toilet and the rest of Mozilla seems mismanaged. Maybe decreasing her salary and hiring some more engineers might help. Right now Google seems to be keeping Mozilla alive to prove that they supposedly aren't a monopoly. Now she did join after the user trend was already plummeting, but idk $3+ mil is a lot of money to not turn the ship around.
It would just be nice to have an actual chromium competitor.
3 million is a pretty low salary for a CEO of any large company. I get so tired of people shitting on Firefox for this. Can we please give this a rest?
3 million is a pretty high salary for anyone. Lower all their salaries. Eat the rich.
Wikimedia has a similar head count as far as I know, and the CEO is paid significantly less, which is what we were talking about. Mozilla is in a really bad position right now, so that's why people bring this up.

Scroll down to the "Transition to overarching identity and simplicity (2018–present)" section under history.
On their website. Site header has no fox, browser has a fox.
