Let me explain
Ok, I trusted Firefox for years until now. I read an article about how the amount of Edge users were increasing but Firefox dropping. I was clueless at first why, however, I think I understand now.
Hidden Trackers
Let's start from the beginning. Firefox claims to be a private web browser. That is the biggest lie Mozilla has ever told. The only way you'd really know if you were being tracked is by looking at their privacy policy. They have built-in cookies, trackers that they send to Google. Imagine pretending to be a privacy worshiping company and doing that. It's really just a messed up move. They were hiding the deadly truth from us. They also have sponsored news in the Startpage which I honestly don't mind because what if Rap Star Big Wii Ner dies, for example, I'll need to know that stuff. However, they look at your search results to decide what news they'll show you
Profit Of Google
95% of Mozilla's profits are from Google. What does this mean? It means Google has a knife on Mozilla's throat and can slash it anytime. Google pays millions so Firefox makes Google the default search engine. However, if they stopped Mozilla would die. Couldn't Mozilla use Bing, another paying search engine? They could, but Bing has gimmicks to make people use Edge. That means Google can and will kill Firefox when there really ready.
Workforce?
In January 2020, Mozilla laid off 75 employees (rumor) Then in June 2020, 250 workers were laid off. (confirmed) Keep in mind Mozilla only has about a 1000 workers. Why though? Some blame it on COVID, but wouldn't covid cause more employees since everyone is browsing the web in quarantine? It's because their dirty CEO wanted to secure their paycheck and the amount of Firefox users dropped. Remember Mozilla is supposed to be a NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION.
Politics?
Mozilla made a biased bog towards the capital march in January. They want to get rid of any unpopular opinions they dislike or disagree with. Their goal was to "Make an open web" however, they've made the web evil.
Alternatives
Waterfox and LibreWolf are good clones
