Has Mozilla gone mad? Facebook Partnership!!??
I dont care what you are going to say to make it sound okay, it is NOT OKAY AT ALL. Mozilla Firefox supposed to be a Privacy Browser is not making business with Meta -> Facebook, lately i really question the mental health of Mozilla, first a unique identifier, now a partnership with zucking facebook, what's next? Let me tell you something, if you are a privacy company then get the zuck away from companies who don't give a damn zuck about privacy -> facebook, mozilla can NOT simply make a deal with facebook and claim "oh dont worry it's ok your privacy is secure, bullsh!t.
You know what, i have been using Firefox since i first accessed the internet with a webbrowser, now hear this -> one more negative thing from mozilla and that's it, bye mozilla you have lost your way.
While this is only me speaking here, MANY people have already quit firefox because of what mozilla has been doing recently. Continue what you are doing now, and soon your greatest product -> firefox will be dead. When privacy partners with tracking & spyware this is the definition of suicidal behaviour. I really worry about Mozillas Mental Health lately.
I will copy paste this post to a few other mozilla releated forums, let's see how long it stays on before censorship happens.
Here a few comments from reddit users on this topic:
The article says what it says, but we all have a long memory of Facebook/ Rebranded Facebook being a company that is horrible, and not to be trusted when they put out a press release. -Nailed it
I’ve been using Firefox since like 2002. I never stopped. I really hope I don’t have to soon. I will give them the benefit of the doubt. -Nailed it
Facebook is one company you should keep away as far as possible. -Nailed it
Then read the article, and see that this is a case of Mozilla working with Meta to maintain privacy. -This person must have mental issues, time to see a doctor asap!

Without any links no one can verify what story your reading that from.

What? Are you gonna say these are not official statements and just random people or maybe bots and it's all fake news and propaganda and they made this all up? Sure.
What is the 'deal' between Meta and Mozilla?
I refer you to the public blog article:
https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/privacy-preserving-attribution-for-advertising/
There is nothing of concern here and is only a proposal that is being put to a group at the W3C.
I recommend that you refer to the proposal itself and that public blog article for the facts of this matter.
See Mozilla Support rules and guidelines. Posts in the Mozilla Support forums must involve questions about using Firefox and other Mozilla products or answers to those questions. Posts that do not involve support requests are considered off-topic for the support forum so I'm going to close this thread.
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback about Mozilla administrative or development decisions, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select either Share ideas and feedback… or Submit feedback…, depending on your Firefox version. Alternatively, you can use this link.
