While a lot of Mozilla's work is great, this seems to be the tendency of every "Test Pilot" project I've seen; NiH and always a reimplementation of ideas there are plenty of alternatives for already, without much consideration for learning from/interop with those alternatives. It's a bit odd: it all seems quite separate and "distant" from the core work I expect from Mozilla.
- drdaeman 8y agoI think someone in their management has/had a vision of Mozilla as an ecosystem brand, just like Google or Apple. They must've felt big enough to pull it, providing users with all things Firefox (think of Firefox Account). They hadn't succeeded and had cancelled Firefox OS, but at least the inertia is still there, if not the continued effort to push in that direction.
