Firefox's rapidly shrinking userbase likes to shoot themselves in the foot. There's always somebody whining about a tiny UI change they really liked from 7 years ago. The fact that the organization has existential problems seems less relevant.
Sometimes Mozillians help with the self destruction. Like last week, when Mozilla reminded people they take donations, including in crypto. Luckily, ex-Mozillians came to the rescue to carve a line in the sand on Twitter. Absolutely unacceptable. An online mob forms, likely of people whom never donated a cent, and Mozilla is pressured to stop accepting crypto.
They had been accepting it since 2014.
It doesn't matter if you hate crypto. If somebody else has crypto and donates this to Mozilla, that is a good thing for Mozilla. If one is bothered by environmental concerns, Mozilla did not mine the crypto. They are on the receiving end of a transaction, one that now will take place elsewhere.
Who needs enemies with friends like this.
