Mozilla bets on enterprise, and the open web worries persist

Mozilla introduced Firefox Enterprise. Reactions split. Some like that it focuses on the browser and offers a path to revenue, with Thunderbird getting attention too. Others say every Mozilla announcement makes them happier they switched to Waterfox, and one notes there is still no simple way to self host sync without a Mozilla account. A separate post on making big downloads resumable in Firefox led to complaints that other basic features, like modal search highlighting, have been broken for years.

The backdrop is older threads about Cloudflare challenges blocking Pale Moon and other non-mainstream browsers, and about how a few providers carry most traffic. Browser diversity depends on a vendor that has to find revenue that is not Google.

A related note: the Citroen 2CV revival and the Intel naming confusion are the opposite kind of story, a company selling heritage and a clean brand rather than fixing basics.
