Could you give some examples of things they do that you disagree with? I can't really think of any controversial non-firefox things they've done.

Controversial != useless. I don't like they wasted money on Firefox OS or Persona; I don't want to donate to them if my money goes there instead of to Firefox. In fact, why not let us decide where exactly our money will go if we donate?

  Mozilla invested into Firefox OS, because they were hoping to disentangle their #1 revenue stream from ad-tech companies.

    It also led to the sharp decline in memory usage as that became super obvious when they went 100% mobile.

  Just to be clear: other than the Mr Robot promo your main criticism is that their politics don't align with yours? Because I think when people ask about Mozilla controversies they're thinking about situations in which Mozilla has "broken character" by e.g. risking users' privacy, not activism that is absolutely in line with Mozilla's stated goals (whether you personally agree with them and their interpretation thereof or not).

    Censorship isn't really a personal preference. Or is it?
