> How would that work beyond Firefox if it wasn't a standard? Done properly, it hopefully would've been. (There was even some branding around the vague hope that it would eventually be a standard - "BrowserID"). As it stands... the Persona devs never even tried to create an extension for Firefox to show what they were trying to do (there's some early mockups that explain some of it), nor did they attempt to standardise it. The project was mismanaged to failure. > has Mozilla done anything commercially successful? Mozilla is primarily a non-profit organisation, "commercially successful" is not the goal. Mozilla Corp, the wholly owned tax-paying subsidiary, is simply a legal tool to make it less difficult to sell things like search integration, not to be a commercial success. The question is whether much of their work successfully furthers their goals as outlined in their mission statement and manifesto.[0] [0] https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/mission/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/mission/
