  Worth noting this is not an effect of the recent layoffs, being from July 7.

  "while it addresses malware abuse" Please, just add this missing context to make it less clickbaity. It has nothing to do with the recent Mozilla events.

  support.mozilla.org says that[1] >In light of recent reports of Firefox Send being used to distribute malware we have decided to temporarily take the service offline to implement new features, including: > An improved abuse reporting capability > A requirement that users have a Firefox Account to share content > We are also evaluating other features and capabilities to improve Firefox Send. Personally I think this makes sense. The previous setup was too good to be true, and definitely was bound to attract malware and other illegal material.
