God, this website is much sadder than Google's

How so? I find Mozilla more willing to keep a project longer than Google. Not that that's not a very low bar, out that you can't criticise Mozilla for it.

Yes, they are keeping projects alive for longer, but a lot of stuff that's on there is really important. I mean they were really aiming for the stars with Firefox OS. To me it's more that Mozilla is either bad at managing projects, or it's just that hard to compete with proprietary software. Either way it's disappointing to see. Seeing the scope of each project shrink over time isn't helping either.

I see your point. I think they're incompetent at both marketing and user retention. And the fact that so much of their payroll goes to inept C-suite executives didn't help either.
