Perhaps the hardest part to understand and appreciate is the extent to which the people who should be fighting for these users aren't. The board of @mozilla has a lot to answer for, given their mission: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mission/ https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/979097423510294529 …
I accept all failures to communicate with care accurately. Got a product roadmap for Fennec? Marketing plan? Strong show of support at a recent all-hands? I can only judge what I can see...and it's weak sauce.

BTW, I can't claim we're doing excellently! I spent most of today tracing a slow app on a 1GB device....I came to the web when when 256MB of ram was a lot...it feels like we're *all* failing.

And what I'm calling out is that for all the rhetoric,
@mozilla is something other than inspiring -- and I'm the most likely to hear and respond to respond tp an inspirational message about NBU from Mozilla.

I don’t see how a marketing plan or specific plans for Fennec are relevant to the fact that we’re all working to make the Web better on all platforms.

Nearly all users are mobile-exclusively. It's fine to ceede a market, but you can't legitimately claim to be doing those users a solid without having them in your model (which is something Fennec is better positioned on than Chrome!)

There is work underway to build a GeckoView-powered overhauled Fennec. GeckoView already powers Fennec's PWAs and Custom Tabs, but a complete browser with bells and whistles will take time. We're working on user research, feature roadmaps, etc. but this, as you know, takes time.

Once we have a more solid plan in place, it will be communicated, I'm sure. For now, it can be thought of as a Quantum-like effort for mobile

We're gonna rebuild something like Fennec on GeckoView over the course of this year. It only missed the roadmap doc I put together because it probably won't ship this year, but it's happening. We're investing in a "quantum" for Android this year.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
