State of Mozilla 2025

Doing for AI what we did for the web
  • all of the planned new Firefox features for 2026 are “AI”-based (except for a new paid support tier)
  • they’re taking our money and establishing an “AI”-focused investment arm
  • all of the art appears to be slop

Remember when Mozilla was not awful?

    • Investing in public interest AI and charitable activities — expand the Mozilla Data Collective, launching new incubator cohorts focused on democracy and public interest AI, and convening global communities through programs like Creative Futures Residency and the Democracy x AI Incubator Cohort.

    Is the public interest AI in the room with us now? Wtf does democracy have to do with ai, or are you jsut slapping on nice sounding words to make the forced slopification of firefox sound better?

    • Building trusted AI experiences — build opt-in features into Firefox like AI Window, pushing the envelope on AI that is both useful and user respecting. Also, launch “AI controls” into Firefox, giving people a clear way to turn AI off entirely - current and future AI features. .

    Okay, but what happens if the majority of your users turn it off? Are you going to be this sickeningly excited about it when it only serves a fraction of your user base? Maybe by then you’ll be too brain dead to even notice…

    • Growing the open source AI ecosystem — grow Mozilla.ai’s suite of choice first open source libraries, and launch a hosted AI agent platform optimized for building on open source AI. Also, search out new partners and projects to work with in making the open source AI stack easier to use.

    Open source AI is still AI, with all the shitty drawbacks it comes with.

    Let’s choose a better future. And then build it, together.

    Feels like you’re making the choice for us, dipshits.
