Somehow Mozilla nowadays reminds me of Yahoo! in the late 2000s and its struggles to remain relevant.
They didn’t require a Firefox account, but encouraged it by giving a significant file size limit increase.
I think you’re right, seems ashamed to give up so soon. I just have to imagine it’s a result of their current circumstances as a company.
In times of layoffs, I imagine there simply aren’t the resources to keep this thing going. I do like the idea of a ‘Firefox +’ type of service though.
Some of us recommended a Firefox+ service that bundles Firefox Send, the VPN, etc. and charge a monthly premium. I would've paid a lot of money. Nothing makes any sense looking from outside!
