But yeah, Firefox has gone to shit, and from the stories coming out of Mozilla it's not going to stop going to shit until the bulk of the work moves out of the Mozilla foundation or there's some kind of coup to get rid of the people in charge.

I don't know much of the history or much about how browsers work.

Could you explain a bit more about why the issue is important but most people don't care about it? I'm not sure I understand what the issue is about that he's an advocate for.

He's not actually advocating saving the actual Firefox, is he?

I got the sense from reading the article that he was hoping for another browser that was like Firefox in the early days that changed the standard and cared more about customers than commercialism. That's not really the Firefox of today.

We need more Firefoxes.

We need more browsers that treat their users, rather than publishers, as their customers. It's the natural cycle of concentration-disruption-renewal that has kept the Web vibrant for nearly 20 years (eons, in web-years).

We may never get another one, though.
