    Well, IIRC, TB isn’t developed by Mozilla. They just “host” it.

      Which is one more stupid thing from Mozilla. Imagine if, 10 years ago, they had made a combo of: Firefox, Thunderbird, email hosting, maybe some kind of online office thing and a drive, Sync… That could have been the ultimate productivity package for “Office” stuff inside one convenient subscription.

      Instead we now have Office 365, Google Docs, and nothing more.

        Don’t give them subscription ideas, even mentioning subscriptions is dangerous!

          Firefox is the kind of software where I would gladly pay $10 a month to support its development.

          Dismantle Mozilla, give the money to Firefox, profit.

          libreOffice is so ugly that every time I use it I get a strong urge to start using Microsoft edge

            It really is a shame that it looks so terrible. It’s a really solid office suite otherwise, but I agree that it’s not a pleasure to use simply because of how ugly it is

      They do. Well, I should say Thunderbird is also under the Foundation, but is developed by a separate subsidiary Corp (MZLA Tech Corp) than Firefox (Mozilla Corp).

      Ironic how the typo directly inverted the meaning.

      will not adopt = will not use the new Firefox terms

      will not adapt = will use the new Firefox terms exactly, without any rewording
