What is going on at Mozilla Corporation
Reply #1 –
Ben Goodger is the former lead developer of Firefox, when Firefox was at its best. Then again, he is also the man behind making Mozilla a corporation from foundation and community. And when Google began making Chrome, Ben Goodger became the head of that project/team/department, resigning from Mozilla.
So, Ben Goodger is the actual author of both the best and the worst in Firefox. The best was there when Mozilla was a community without a corporation. Things have irreversibly turned for the worse ever since the corporation was put up.
Ah, another thing I remember is the naming trouble of the Firefox project. It was originally called Phoenix, then Firebird, and had to be renamed due to overlapping names with other software projects. I don't know who is behind the poor ability to put names on things, but it shows some poor ability. But the software itself used to be good. It became my system default on Windows at version 0.7.
