It is common knowledge that Mozilla are Google satellite, releasing default Bing versions when they bargain for money.
It would be lovely if more people ponied up to the Foundation so they didn't have to make these tiny-yet-big-impact bargains.
More importantly, they ditched off their lead developer, Brendan Eich, the creator of javascript at Netscape times, because of made up gay-related donation scandal.
Well, it wasn't made-up, he donated to an anti-equality campaign (which is his right!) but put Mozilla's name next to his vote, which is not OK. They didn't fire him IIRC, he stepped down after a wave of criticism which was probably excessive. Still, if I were a Mozillan I wouldn't want a CEO who had a prior history of using the company name to forward a personal religious agenda, no matter how great a developer he is. All of which is outside scope for this list, so I'll stop there. Firefox Hello, which might be to blame, is on-topic though; is that module even open source? Mozilla are really sinking fast (ahem, EME) as a thought-leading ideology hub, so it wouldn't surprise me to learn they were bundling closed-source-open-port-ware.
