$6.9 mil the last time they said. And that was in a year where CEO salary was (on average) cut across all for-profit companies, because even businesses react to market forces sometimes.

Either you die young or you live long enough to turn into the Blink engine.
The fact that the United States intentionally makes these zones really subverts the conspiracy theory that the government is using 5G to control our minds (or whatever the theorists say these days).
My thought's exactly. It doesn't look perfect, but it's the first time anybody is seeing this on a nightly release. I've had my issues with Firefox, but they're really cooking right now.
This looks promising. Some of it is half-cooked, but the developers are soliciting feedback and actually responding to it there.
The dropdown should only be visible when the search bar is focused or the new tab / blank page is open
There is work being done to implement that behaviour
Back to the post, Mozilla also poses this question...
How Does This Benefit You?
...before providing some great answers. It's good to see Mozilla still knows its target audience(s) and is still capable of communicating with them.
I would have loved if they had released an anniversary icon for FF.
You might have seen it already, but is this close enough?
More like a vasectomy.
Some Bitwarden and Firefox Nightly users recently pressed Ctrl+Shift+L and discovered that instead of logging them into their various websites, Firefox enabled Firefox's AI chatbot.
You posted a privately sent email that contradicts a publicly accessible privacy policy. In the four weeks it took them to send that to you, nothing has been changed, same as the prior year. And they couldn't even bother to spell their own product name right.
Do you acknowledge that the privacy policy makes it extremely clear that they do sell private data, as outlined in the table that they made for people who struggle to read and mentally parse full paragraphs of text?
It's interesting how damning that email was, so let's look at some interesting points.
We are in the process of updating our privacy policy for additional clarity on all the points referenced in your email.
They don't say the TOS is out of date. They don't say the TOS has things they haven't done or won't do. And they don't say they will remove their promise to sell private data to advertisers.
At this time, Fakespot does not sell or share any user data pursuant to any applicable privacy laws.
At this time? Pursuant to the law? If Mozilla is abiding by law and nothing more, that explains why they are legally forced to admit they sell private data to advertisers.
And the law is the lowest bar imaginable. Google operates under the law. Does Mozilla think they protect your privacy as well as Google?
... service providers who make Faksepot run...
And with all that legalese, they can't even spell their own brand name right.
What an email to read. I find it particularly valuable for the things it does not say, but not at all encouraging.

I got a similar ban from that community after the moderator started spouting conspiracy theories at me and I didn't agree with them. I noticed they removed most of my comments in that thread, but not all of them... Not sure if it was accidental, but the ones with non-negative karma were the ones that got removed.
This is also how I discovered a moderator that bans you from their community effectively prevents you from deleting any of your posts in it, which makes me feel... Uncertain about the ML mods having such control over the stuff its users post.
I thought some worked by flashing infrared LEDs to overwhelm the cameras' sensors. AFAIK there are multiple varieties of camera repellant.

Firefox Android Beta vs Nightly - new "Suggestions from the Web" and "Sponsored Suggestions"?
(i.imgur.com)
I recently downloaded Firefox Nightly and noticed some new settings that were enabled by default:
- Suggestions from Firefox Nightly
Get suggestions from the web related to your search- Suggestions from sponsors
Support Firefox Nightly with occasional sponsored suggestions
The link in the UI doesn't mention sponsorships anywhere. But this page does:
Who are Mozilla’s partners for sponsored suggestions?
We partner with organizations to serve up some of these suggestion types... For sponsored results, we primarily work with adMarketplace, while also providing non-sponsored results from Wikipedia.
This page links to the adMarketplace Privacy Policy which makes it pretty clear this company is okay with collecting your IP address and passing it to further unnamed entities.
Elsewhere, they say Firefox sends them "the number of times Firefox suggests or displays specific content and your clicks on that content, as well as basic data about your interactions with Firefox Suggest", and then will share interaction information "in an aggregate manner with our partners".
Update: Switched the link from the Desktop to the Mobile version. Added more quotes from FF, and bolded info about their one named AdTech partner.
Done in Boost.

I like this post and the style of writing, but there's no way on earth this is "easy" to the average, non-technically-minded person. Never mind trying to convince the average Boomer or Gen X-er to follow these steps, it might exhaust a lot of privacy advocates or other people in technical fields. Heck, I've seen technically proficient people complain about the complexities of getting Matrix/Element encryption to work, and by comparison, that's practically a walk in the park.
(I was originally going to make a slightly more conciliatory comment, but then I realized you were not the OP of the original content. I appreciate the transfer of knowledge to the clearer web.)
