Money needs beg control needs

Mozilla is becoming like politicians. They need money to survive, and those who provide the money tend to set priorities for Mozilla.

Google got some nasty defaults set on firefox (automatic redirect to google search for whatever illegal url you typed). You need to delve deep into the forefox advance config to disable that.

And now, they are probably getting money from some net advertising firm to develop that user tracking software.

Why should I download a version of Firefox where I'll have to spend hours trying to find the damned option to make sure it remains turned off and is never covertly turned on becauise I visited some web site with funky dangerous javascript ?

They need to focus in cleaning up the code, plugging memory leaks isntead of adding mroe and more bloatware that slows the browser down.

If they add such junk, I doubt I'll keep using or recommending Firefox. It's that simple.
