They are trying. But it won't work.

I think if you really want to build something like that, you need real momentum. Perhaps the ladybird folks can succeed here, the future will tell. I don't think Mozilla has enough momentum left.

Firefox is between 2% and 3% now.

The number of people using web browsers has gone up massively though over the past 15 years. 2%-3% right now isn't as bad as it would have been in the past

What do ad/tracker extensions do to that stat tracker?

Its 5.3% on desktop the same as Safari. I wonder what this means in real numbers.. perhaps hundreds of millions? That's not bad.

And yet, still no simple way to self host the their syncserver (syncstorage-rs) without the mozilla account abomination.

Part of the sales pitch of Firefox Enterprise is that the management console includes a sync server that you can run on premise.

Are you using, or planning to use, the Enterprise version, and feel like this functionality is missing? Or is the complain about the regular release? I'm asking because I fail to see the link...

It's the good old "open source software adds feature X but what about feature Y I want??"

For all the garbage Mozilla puts out, this is actually a good idea.

> Firefox Enterprise puts customer privacy, independence and control first.

So what before came as main advantage of Firefox is now dropped and put behind the paywall?

Just seems like GPO options for Firefox, which already existed.

Page says a lot of nothing. Or just restates things that already were in place.

This one sounds new to me.

Thanks for the open admission that regular Firefox does not.

Pretty sure that's Firefox in contrast to the other alternatives in the Enterprise space.

"control first" to the IT department instead of the user.

... That doesn't make any kind of sense whatsoever. Firefox puts customer privacy first, now that includes enterprise customers. Like how do you even possibly come to this conclusion. Mind boggling.
