I’ve been using Mozilla Firefox since its original release 21 years ago. Firefox started as an excellent open source browser with a relatively small code size, and excellent compatibility with most of the crufty “extensions” Microsoft used to wage their war against all browsers that were not theirs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefox has grown over the past 2 decades, in both code size and it’s need to suck up large amounts of memory and CPU. I currently have 7 tabs open in Firefox, including the one I’m using to write this article. Firefox has launched 560 threads to support those tabs. That’s 80 threads per tab. That’s a huge number and each thread requires memory and CPU resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So imagine my shock and dismay when I read the following quote from the new Mozilla CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Mozilla moves forward, we will focus on becoming the trusted software company. This is not a slogan. It is a direction that guides how we build and how we grow. It means three things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
