I got curious and went through every single State of Mozilla report available.
I'm convinced the mission Mozilla is openly espousing is not what most people seem to think it is.
For one thing, nowhere is there any discussion of being competitive with other browsers. Only in the 2019 report is "increasing browser impact" even mentioned, and there it was in regard to Firefox for Android.
Like, I want Firefox to exist. I'm super glad it does. But the idea that this organization, at any reasonable scale, can fight for market share with the Goog or Microsoft is not only unrealistic, it is separate from Mozilla's stated mission.
They want to influence open web standards and make sure there is an open alternative. There is!
We can have reasonable debates about focus for the org. This year's State of Mozilla is an AI-riddled dumpster fire, for example. I'm really worried about that seemingly myopic change in stated goals. But we gotta do so on the actual mission, not the imagined one.
