That feels a bit negative and hostile. They can do both. Price of hosting this event is, hopefully, negligible compared to money that goes into Firefox development.
We all here would prefer technical goals, but raising awareness and social projects are, for better or worse, other major Mozilla goals.

- tredre3 3y ago> Why they copied the Chrome interface ? Because Chrome did a lot of things right and copying it is a benefit to most users. Getting rid of the status bar and menu bar comes to mind (both can still be added back in firefox). Or the unified address bar, most people WANT it to search (and again, in firefox you can disable that). > Why they use Google as a service ? Is this really a question? It's of course for the money. But guess what? When they briefly switched to bing, people were just switching back to Google. Because for better or worse, people expect/want Google Search.
- amadeuspagel 3y agoThe firefox UI works like chrome, but looks worse, calls attention to itself while chrome stays in the background. They want to look different, but they can't do the same thing better. If they did an actually different interface, like tree-style tabs, they might find a niche.
