  Well, the comment is about Firefox not improving their browser and instead doing other things; I imagine the comments will continue until Firefox commits to improving their browser instead of doing other things.

    Firefox is obviously being improved all the time, and also obviously an org can do many different things at the same time. Yet you still have a fire hose of these comments on every Mozilla/Firefox thread. Like, what do these commenters think they're doing? Just venting that their pet issues of FOSS isn't being worked on? What's that supposed to accomplish? What normal human being reads such a comment and goes like 'oh yeah thanks rude asshole commenters, I get right on fixing that!'?? I don't want HN threads to be just endlessly and breathlessly complaining about people not doing shit they want. Pay up or do it yourself.

      It is as close to an intervention as we can come. We are friends of firefox, yet again reminding it that we love it, but all love has limits, and Firefox is approaching the limits of our love. If it does not change its direction soon, it will be all alone out in the cold.

  What’s tiring for some of us is seeing Mozilla make several announcements a year about projects nobody cares about except whoever came up with the idea and their social circle. From the outside the organization seems to be full of people looking to use the resources of a non-profit to launch something, valuable or not, then use the name recognition on their CV as a springboard.
