Mozilla please just give us a Firefox Pro that costs a few quid a month
I make basically all my income via Firefox indirectly.. if you want a slice just ask for it, don't be creepy

They lost a big chunk of valuable (but not financially) user trust. It's really tricky to regain it, they would have to take a leap of faith, do "the right thing", and hope users will believe.
Or maybe we need to fork it and crowdfund (crowdhire?) firefox developers. And hope they will accept the risk of financial difficulties down the line. And there will be a long term trust/authority problem to solve - who makes decisions? But I would trust their devs personally, I think
Regarding the fork part I'm not sure who we is but I'm not interested in making a web browser
For an annual license, perhaps a sheet of stickers?
Don't nerf regular Firefox
Firefox starts with 200M users now and if 3% get Pro that is 6M users paying $5/month (?) for $30M/month and $360M/year in revenue. That is almost exactly that same as what Firefox makes from Google. The added benefit is that this change could transition it into a user-centric mindset.
Do you agree with the math?
