Mozilla lost their focus long ago. They are now mostly political organisation with side busines of making software and financed by a competitor.
I loved them so much since the days of the Phoenix (I think it was 0.6 which I made my default browser), I admired Blake Ross. They had a great goal: to make the best browser.
Now? I couldn't care less. I don't know who the leader is, or do they even have one. I know they are good I writing manifestos and have some evangelists not too shy to lie.
Will those political games help anyone? I doubt so. But if once great organisation is determined to become irrelevant, how can you forbid that?
MDN is good, though.

Mozilla is not Apple, they can very much function without a leader.
They have the ONLY fully featured modern browser that is also free software. IMHO, it fits the "make the best browser" philosophy.
