We won’t be adopting the Firefox Terms of Use for Thunderbird.

    Which is one more stupid thing from Mozilla. Imagine if, 10 years ago, they had made a combo of: Firefox, Thunderbird, email hosting, maybe some kind of online office thing and a drive, Sync… That could have been the ultimate productivity package for “Office” stuff inside one convenient subscription.

    Instead we now have Office 365, Google Docs, and nothing more.

      I want separate apps that are really good at what they do, not a bunch of apps that kinda work together and are just okay. So I would much rather they focus on one thing and services around it. Such as:

      • online payments - make a way for me to compensate sites in lieu of ads
      • secure storage - bookmarks, files, notes, all from the browser; or self host
      • VPN integrated into the browser - exists

      Everything should be opt-in and privacy centered, and all of that can be browser extensions.

      So a bit like extending Mozilla Application Suite aka Seamonkey instead of focusing on standalone products?

      Don’t give them subscription ideas, even mentioning subscriptions is dangerous!

          It really is a shame that it looks so terrible. It’s a really solid office suite otherwise, but I agree that it’s not a pleasure to use simply because of how ugly it is
