    the thunderbird rewrite, the acquisition of k-9, the integration of outlook, the launch of mozilla.social, and saving thunderbird settings on the cloud (formerly firefox account, now mozilla account) are all things happening in the last year.

    i think mozilla has been kickin ass.

      You’re talking about Thunderbird, a project they basically abandoned to the community. Thunderbird survives in spite of Mozilla, not because of it. Meanwhile their main product Firefox is still bleeding users down into the single digit percentages while receiving half a billion a year from Google. It takes a lot of skill to run such a company so deep into the ground.

          Mozilla has a podcast?

          Edit: Yes they have! https://irlpodcast.org/

          Assuming you meant that they talked about this topic in one of their podcasts? Would you mind sharing which episode they did that in?

      Isn’t Thunderbird developed externally and not a Mozilla product? It appears so, from Wikipedia. Same thus for K9. OTOH, I blocked mozilla.social and obviously didn’t want anything to do with Mozilla, so I also deleted my Mozilla accoubt in 2021. As far I am concerned, they could disappear tomorrow and my life would change exactly 0. I’m only happy that the incompetent CEO is gone. She was able to destroy Firefox.

          No, sorry, I won’t. A lot of Mozilla’s fans would reply trying to convince me I’m wrong or just insulting me (it already happened). I’m not interested in engaging on this topic.

            It would have been better to simply not reply, rather than this woe-is-me persecution complex thing.

            If you aren’t interested in engaging on this topic then why not delete your comments on this topic and stop replying on this topic. Your comment’s logic is ridiculous.
