I'm neither. I'm a Firefox user frustrated by the decisions of the company in charge of it.

It is fair to criticize Mozilla's operations. It's not fair to spew FUD on the best browser alternative that currently exists - your comment implies that Firefox isn't any better than Chrome. That is simply not true from a user-hostileness perspective, which is the context.
Financials are another matter, and if they are really so problematic then what you should do is either propose a better alternative, or even work on it yourself, given that it is open source what we're talking about.
My comment didn't "imply" anything. I stated that Firefox may be coming to an end. Then I stated the facts that back up my belief: (1) Mozilla has over a billion dollars; and (2) they are reducing the amount of money allocated to Firefox development.
I simply have no idea how you can possibly draw any other conclusion. It's not "FUD" either. If you can refute the article I posted, I will stop posting it and never speak of the matter again. Until then, I will criticize Mozilla for not spending money developing Firefox. Because I care about Firefox and want to see it kill Chrome, not languish in 5th place dying a slow death with zero leverage to actually stop things like WEI from being inflicted upon us.

You're actively working against what you say you care about if you post a negative reply to a comment suggesting Firefox as alternative to Chrome. In a thread about Chrome's latest user-hostile feature of the week.
Anyway, you brought attention to the issue that you care about going on at Mozilla. Let's hope that there is a way to improving that, simultaneously to promoting Firefox as a perfectly-good alternative to Chrome - today.
