Comment on What is Firefox supposed to do?

  1. PPA doesn’t make Mozilla money.
  2. Firefox is developed by Mozilla Corp, which can’t take donations. Mozilla Foundation does do fundraising drives, but that’s mostly for their public advocacy (which, ironically, may be where the idea for PPA originated).
  3. PPA has a checkbox in about:preferences.

    1. Ok (um, then they do it why?) My attention has been really divided for the past couple days, so I haven’t really read very deeply into PPA.

    2. Didn’t know that; maybe they should reconfigure themselves to be more like Wikipedia? 🤷 It seems like Wikipedia has way more users than FF, and they’re able to keep going on the small donations they request from time to time.

    3. Indeed it does! And it might be nice if it wasn’t checked by default like it was in mine, but ok, I guess.

    Also, what have hamsters ever done to you? 😉

      The support article explains the rationale.

      Unchecked by default would render the experiment useless.
