Firefox Is For "Regular" Users, Not Businesses

nk497 writes "Some have argued that Mozilla's switch to a faster release cycle has made it more difficult for companies to use Firefox, but the open-source browser maker isn't too bothered, according to one employee. Asa Dotzler, community coordinator for Firefox marketing and founder of Mozilla's quality assurance scheme, said Firefox is for 'regular users' — not businesses. 'Enterprise has never been (and I'll argue, shouldn't be) a focus of ours,' he said. 'A minute spent making a corporate user happy can better be spent making many regular users happy. I'd much rather Mozilla was spending its limited resources looking out for the billions of users that don't have enterprise support systems already taking care of them.'"

Asa does not speak for all of us

(Disclaimer: I work for Mozilla.)

Asa is one guy with strong opinions. He doesn't speak for all of us.

Here's a senior developer disagreeing with Asa, for instance. We're still figuring this out at Mozilla. Asa's is not the red dino's final word.
