> They did not fire employees working on Firefox. They did, and some pretty notable ones at that. Filtering https://talentdirectory.mozilla.org/ https://talentdirectory.mozilla.org/ to the "Engineering" department is largely people who worked on Firefox. The loss of David Baron for one has got to be felt: he's one of the few people who had a good high-level view of all layout and style work in Gecko and its integration with the rest of the engine. And he's not the only pretty senior engineer who was let go: there's definitely some dubious lay-offs there. The Servo team was pretty small (around half a dozen people by the end, I think), and many would've been fantastic people to keep within Mozilla, even if refocused to Gecko. And it must be said that Mozilla have been trying to diversify for years, largely to little success. Losing Mozilla entirely would unquestionably be a loss for the web, and it would be a real shame to lose another browser engine.
