I would pay for a "Firefox Pro" which allowed greater control/modifications for power users.
Make it open source, but have the official download for builds (and source code?[0]) be payed. Bonus points if the download bundle includes source code and a simplified build process.
[0] obviously it'll be mirrored in 2 seconds, but still.
- chii 5y agothe few people who might pay for a firefox pro would probably not even pay the wages of the people required to setup the payment and infrastructure therein. Might as well just ask for donations.
- shrikant 5y agoI wonder if they could do a "pay what you want" download page for Firefox Developer Edition. It's my daily driver, and I'd be happy to pay for it.
- m8s 5y agoUnless I’m mistaken, Developer Edition is just Firefox with experimental features enabled and permanently-enabled telemetry. I’m not sure what in my brain says “Telemetry? Absolutely not”, but that’s how it is for me (and why I don’t use the Developer Edition).
- shrikant 5y agoI don't mind sending telemetry data however, as long as I'm reasonably convinced that Mozilla isn't doing anything shady with it. However, I respect the “Telemetry? Absolutely not” stance and can only hope and pray that Firefox PMs use telemetry as only ONE among a whole host of other signals to support decision-making.
