5 step plan for Mozilla to succeed against the Behemoth Googzilla and the leviathans of MAWS. 1. build a team in Europe to create an email service comparable to gmail/protonmail - domains: mozmail.com, mmail.com, godmail.com, pmail.com, dogmail.com, meowmail.com - promoted as a simple everyday email – no overly complicated/advanced federati features in order to increase inter-operability, reduce spam and dealing with federalism - for more advanced features, integration links with something like signal, or a hosted comms platform 2. invest heavily in Firefox core development and service features - push for system resource and performance optimizations, even if it requires extensive architectural changes - focus on perfecting a core browser experience then developing an extension API that allows a level of UI customisations that XUL did, have unsafe/hackers warning for any extension that uses this API, even official ones - invest in KeePassXC ux and integrate it as a first class and core feature in Firefox that is useable by hackers, consumers and enterprises – offer paid services for simple database sync/backup, as well as a decent managed solution for enterprise. 3. Expand further with a suite of other services that have both self-hosted and paid management extras - calendar and email client, universally usable between providers, but first class with Firefox and mmail. - integrate something like libreoffice into a desktop client that can also be embedded into a Firefox tab. - straight forward self-hostable teams communication platform, managed cloud versions also availabe - self-hosted / managed file storage platform with web UI with integration links to other services - all of the above require a unified web, desktop and mobile ux - offer further software and hardware integrations to completely streamline personal digital management 4. Extensive marketing and brand exposure over TV and social media, while staying charitably non-profit and recognizing the digital roots - Use the firefox, gecko and other digital animals as icons - Themes and scapes from origins such as mosaic/netscape 5. In this scene Mozilla continues knocking down the buildings of the titans. | ||

It's funny how you post this comment under a comment that says no to all but 2.1 and 2.2. > The problem is that Mozilla keeps jumping on fads instead of focusing on their browser core. | ||
