No, there's no connection to Soros.*

Also, there's no change for Firefox or Thunderbird in testing now, which means that you will not see any changes in the foreseeable future.

Note this first phase: "Later this year, Mozilla will be releasing original research on how misinformation impacts users’ experiences online. We will be drawing on a dataset of user-level browsing data gathered during the 2016 U.S. elections."


To keep up with future changes in Firefox from sources that know Firefox well, I suggest:
