The browser claims to pioneer open source yet implements DRM/EME
they've added a social media Hello! messenger thing to the browser itself, but that has nothing to do with web
now it just started including some weird "pocket" feature that's related to a cloud company in the source tree itself, not just as an addon

Is firefox a lost cause?
It almost always was. But even more after the 4.0 version.

In recognition of Data Privacy Day, Ponemon Institute is pleased to announce the results of the 2014 Most Trusted Companies for Privacy Study, an annual study that tracks consumers’ rankings of organizations that collect and manage their personal information. This year, the most trusted company is Amazon.
The 10 Most Trusted Companies for 2014 Amazon American Express PayPal Hewlett Packard IBM Nationwide USAA LinkedIn Apple USPS (tied) Intuit (tied) Mozilla
Why is a company trusted? Now in its ninth year, the Most Trusted Companies for Privacy Study provides a list of overall top performing companies and federal agencies as well as those industries that are perceived to be most trusted for their privacy practices. What these companies have in common is a strong orientation to respecting their customers and providing the best possible customer service. In contrast, the study also finds that a poorly written and disclosed privacy policy can actually diminish trust.
In this study, we also ask consumers if the privacy of their personal information is important. While privacy is increasing in importance, consumers fear they are losing the ability to control the collection, use and sharing of their personal information.
How the study is conducted Ponemon Institute’s Most Trusted Companies for Privacy Study is an objective study that asks consumers to name and rate organizations they believe are most committed to protecting the privacy of their personal information. This annual study tracks consumers’ rankings of organizations that collect and manage their personal information.
More than 100,000 adult-aged consumers were asked to name up to five companies they believe to be the most trusted for protecting the privacy of their personal information. Consumer responses were gathered using a continuous sampling concluding in October 2014 and resulted in a final sample of 7,791 respondents who, on average, provided 5.4 discernible company ratings that represent 25 different industries. The full report will be available next week on our website.

Revenue-impacting Changes
Effective as of Firefox 38
Firefox has a number of features that have revenue-bearing components, generally in the form of partnerships or paid placements. These features include Search, Tiles, and other potential features. Except where otherwise agreed under a formal custom distribution agreement, no changes shall be permitted that negatively impact the revenue potential of these features. This includes changes that would be otherwise permitted within the scope of an add-on under the AMO policy.

The historians can't seem to settle whether to call this one "The Third Browser War" (or the "Fourth"), or whether "The First JavaScript War" fits it better. We just call it "The Chrome War" if we call it anything...
