Mozilla needs a more focused leadership to survive, not a perpetual gofundme campaign. The current leadership focused on free lock-in features (Firefox Lockwise, Pocket integration etc). But that's how you play when you have deep pockets. Mozilla Corp. never had them.
If instead Mozilla Corp. had focused on cross-browser freemium/paid features, they could have been self-sustained by now. E.g. I would definitely pay for a Firefox Account that included:
- Password manager with cross-browser cloud sync. They already have Lockwise. Only need to make it cross-browser.
- Firefox send. Great convenience feature. Trivial to integrate to other browsers. Currently "unavailable while we work on product improvements." WTF?
- Cross-browser bookmarks sync with improvements in core functionality. E.g. make tagging easy, support tag-based dynamic folders to the bookmarks bar. I wish they had brought the person behind Buku bookmarks manager aboard instead of buying Pocket.

"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..." https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-happened-firefox-send https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-happened-firefox-s... What do you mean by "integrate to other browsers"? Firefox Send is a website.
