It’s possible to submit questions already. Getting a feeling there’ll be some uncomfortable ones; we’ll see if they dare to engage with those.

A lot of the frustration that people have stems from Firefox’s deeply flawed financing model, whereby the focus can never be solely put on the quality of the browser. Personally, with Google now being recognized as a monopolist and Mozilla in danger of losing 85% of its funding, I hope they can adopt Thunderbird’s financing model (i.e. donations).

Now that they’re not doing fundraising for lawmaking and/or grassroots activism because their advocacy team shut down, I hope they’ll get a few people together and start to raise money from the user base.

This could be a very positive change for Mozilla if they play it right.
