I really wish Mozilla would just focus on making Firefox the best browser it can be. Stop with the gimmicks like VPN and DoH. Give us (back) keyboard shortcuts and fix bugs; unfuck Mozilla first.

> Give us (back) keyboard shortcuts and fix bugs ... Also, add-ons for Firefox on Android. That was the largest screw up for me with the Phoenix upgrade. I am using Nightly and I count a grand total of 20 add-ons that I am recommended (read allowed) to install. Add-ons and customization are the prime reason Firefox is Firefox.

  Add-ons on Android are back![1] For the most part just having uBo was enough for me, but there are a few others I wouldn't mind. 1: https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/09/30/firefox-for-android-brings-back-general-extensions-support-heres-how-to-set-it-up/ https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/09/30/firefox-for-android...

I think its the best browser out there (along with Pale Moon). What is FF preventing you from doing?

I was under the impression the 'gimmicks' pay for the browser development. I hope everyone wants a self-sufficient Mozilla.

  Google pays for most of it. The point of services like the VPN is to change that though.

Oh no. I would actually argued they should have done VPN a long long time ago as a revenue stream. Along with other Internet services or SaaS. The problem isn't just Firefox, they need to improve on that, but they also need to not solely relying on that Search Engine Deal. The scenario have been the same in 2010 as it is now. But no one at Mozilla management saw it. Arguably Firefox OS was the right direction, but their engineering team got too distracted to run everything on JS.
