I'd really like to work for Mozilla on Mozilla products, but somehow the interview process is broken. I've managed to go through 3 interviews (2 technical, one with the team-coordinator) but then was rejected because they've found some other with more years of relevant (?) experience on the topic for the position. Now they write this. So my question is: why don't you open more positions, letting people be hired (and paid) to work on products, instead of looking for charitable work from volunteers?

My hope is that they do that once they offer a premium version of Firefox.

Because hiring more people costs money and volunteers are free?

  yeah but then don't bother us with missing contributors. Somehow someone has to live and code for food. Not everybody has the luxury of working as volunteer.

    No company has the luxury of paying employees with money they don't have.

I'm sorry I don't really understand. They interviewed you and found other people who (they thought) were more qualified. In what way is the interview process broken? > Now they write this.

I can only assume that it's because they think there are better places they think they should put their resources.
