Aw shucks, we never thought of that. Here we were, dedicating every one of our developers to speeding up the build, and we never thought to increase our user share instead. In retrospect, that was pretty dumb! Ok, sorry, we'll get right on that.

Seriously, what is with the trend of assuming that anything anyone in a project does, it is assumed that it has been the main goal of the project and all other objectives have been abandoned? "Firefox's frontend designers are doing frontend design work instead of implementing WebUSB which would immediately reverse their declining user share trend and make billions of dollars worth of donations! What are they thinking?!!"

(I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this post, aren't I?)

I mean, if you could donate directly to Firefox development and not for "anything Mozilla wants to waste it on that day", maybe the donations would go up.
