Mozilla, the developer behind the popular web browser Firefox, announced a significant restructuring that includes the layoff of approximately 60 employees. This move comes as the company aims to refocus its efforts on Firefox and artificial intelligence (AI) under the leadership of a new chief executive officer. The layoffs are part of Mozilla's strategy to scale back its investment in several products, including its VPN, Relay, and Online Footprint Scrubber, as reported by TechCrunch. The decision to downsize and shift focus was detailed in an internal memo, signaling a new direction for the organization as it adapts to the evolving tech landscape.

Sad to hear about the most recent layoffs, especially at Mozilla. Former colleagues (or strangers!), please let me know if I can help (or just lend an ear). Hugs.
