I thought I missed the quote when I first read the article, but I did a search now and it came up empty.

Was the quote in the article and got taken out, or were you just being sarcastic?

Sorry I thought it would be obvious to anyone reading the article. My hope was that by setting expectations to where they should be, the terribleness of this corporate statement would be more apparent.

The only sacrifice Mitchell Baker admits to is firing people. Somehow the ones that stay are supposed to do more.

There is no statement that firefox should be the best browser out there to encourage more users to switch.

No rallying call against the ad industry which is internet users biggest enemy

All I got out of it is that they want to develop new services as a software substitutes and charge people for it, probably as a subscription.
