It's really fucking sad that Mozilla is struggling so much financially. They didn't participate on the iOS platform for a long time, then they burned a huge pile of cash on FirefoxOS, and now they have to somehow match the engineering resources of Google and Microsoft.

I personally work on a decentralized web project ... but even I can't fault them for shutting down side projects. Every project either needs to provide alternative revenue streams or feed into getting Firefox on par with Chrome's speed, security, and feature set. Hopefully Chrome will follow through with neutering their ad-blocking and people will switch back to Firefox.
