On: Mozilla to Develop Comments Platform for New York ...

It seems to me that Mozilla has over expanded and is in search of a mission. A useable browser not beholden to the latest UX fads would be a start.

Mozilla's mission is to promote openness on the web. It is both easy to articulate and easy to understand.

Their mission is not to build a web browser for the sake of building a web browser. They build a browser to protect the web and you.

This project fits in with that mission too.

They're probably moaning about Firefox 'copying Chrome' or something. Though they're not copying Chrome; Firefox has its own distinctive style and I much prefer it to Chrome's.
