This is the second layoff at Mozilla this year, the first affecting dozens of staff on the side of the organization that builds the popular Firefox browser.

The Mozilla Foundation, the non-profit arm of the Firefox browser maker Mozilla, has laid off 30% of its employees as the organization says it faces a “relentless onslaught of change.”

    Doesn’t work. Firefox keeps nagging me to update every freaking time I open the browser. Now if they let me turn the nagging off it wouldn’t be so bad.

    I want an update once per quarter, not once per week. Only more often than that if there is a critical security fix.

          You will get one update per year, and “only more often that that if there is a critical security fix”.

            There’s no winning. Some people use the regular version and complain about the updates, while others use the ESR release and complain that sites that use cutting-edge features don’t work properly.

            The solution to updates is to use Linux, since then it’ll update through your distro’s package manager along with your other software.
