I don't have issues with this experiment (more so because of the way it worked without tracking and creating a profile of the user to be shared, sold, etc.) and this decision. As a long time Firefox/Thunderbird user who recommends these regularly to others and being a fan of what Mozilla is about, I do want to put a few general comments (ignore the gushing in places if you will):
1. Mozilla is among the few organizations in the world that must thrive and also expand for the good of the web and the people relying on it.
2. Every time there's some kind of controversy about Mozilla that appears to be a setback, I keep wishing it would be dealt with quickly and appropriately.
3. Mozilla, there are a lot of passionate users who get upset when (seemingly) controversial decisions are implemented. I'm pained to watch Mozilla losing market share and mind share, as are many other users.
4. Mozilla, it's important that you listen to these vocal users and engage with them, even if the seemingly problematic decision(s) cannot or won't be revoked.
5. Mozilla, experimenting is not bad as long as the users' feedback and your learnings are utilized.
6. Mozilla, few things in this world are black and white when it comes to strategy and decisions. So I'm willing to be more accepting of your decisions as long as you show agility in reversing them when necessary and as long as those decisions favor my next point.
7. Mozilla, we want you to become bigger, better and succeed. All the things that you stand for don't have a (complete) parallel in other organizations and companies in the wider web ecosystem.
8. Mozilla, thanks for all that you have done and all that you do.
