Over the past few months, we’ve been accelerating our ability to execute outstandingly, make faster decisions, and realize our multi-product ambitions. To help facilitate this, I’m excited to announce an organizational change within the product team. This change will enable us to better develop and scale products at different stages of development and maturity.

Today, we have multiple groups across various teams working on new ideas and emerging products: Fakespot, PXI, Mozilla Social, and the Innovation Ecosystems team, plus some newer emerging pods around new product design sprints and ideation. To simplify and accelerate this work, we are consolidating our emerging and seed product portfolios under a single umbrella, led by Adam Fishman, as our SVP of New Products, reporting directly to me.

By setting up Firefox as a standalone product organization, we will also be able to bring more focus to our continual efforts to improve the Firefox experience for everyone who uses it. Firefox is already a leader in foundational qualities like speed and privacy, and now we will be able to faster in developing solutions that bring more useful tools and more joyful experience to our users. Our recent announcement of new Firefox features is just the start, as we close in on Firefox’s 20th birthday in November.

I am really excited about these changes as they help us accelerate our path to a strong, multi-product future as we simultaneously expand on our investment in our flagship core product, Firefox.

        It certainly does, hitting all the high notes. Its got all the hype with no substance. It reads like a mashup of vc pitch speak and the poorly translated installation instructions for a chinese water heater.

        I had a cellphone case that ‘brought more enjoyful experience to users’.

        They don’t explain what splitting off Firefox actually means.

        Those sentences are not in the English language though, hence my question.

        For the love of all that is holy, please stop fucking up Firefox.

    How about you work on Firefox instead of “emerging pods around new product design sprints and ideation”

      That’s complete misinformation. Mozilla Corporation has nothing to do with Thunderbird.

      Thunderbird is developed by MZLA Technologies Corporation and almost entirely funded by user donations.

      Both Mozilla Corporation and MZLA Technology Corporation are subsidiaries of the Mozilla Foundation.

      Thunderbird has been thriving since it was spun out as a semi independent organization. Lots of new features and a whole new UI. This sounds like they’re moving to a similar model for the browser and it sounds like great news to me. Hopefully we see nimbler decision making. Shouldn’t have taken 3-4 years to make a tablet UI for Android and open up Android add ons
