Mozilla's lack of understanding in managing an open-source project is highlighted, along with controversial decisions such as high executive salaries amidst layoffs. The user notes a fundamental shift in Mozilla’s focus away from its core user base, particularly Linux and open-source enthusiasts, contributing to Firefox's decline in relevance and viability.
