This is a link to a diff of Firefox where the FAQ are stored in a structured way. In the diff it can be seen that the question “Does Firefox sell your personal data?” has been removed:

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Does Firefox sell your personal data?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from
many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed
to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "
}

People in the comments are asking if the definition of the word “neven” has been changed or what’s going on.
Here is someone trying to explain why they’re doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw-XYrMFb0A
Well shit. Guess I really have to ditch Mozilla. They make a great product and had a great mission - also generated a heap of revenue. But I guess why settle for good money when you could sell out your principles (and our data) in the pursuit of More Money🤦♂️
I don’t see AI being the big money maker they think it is
They’ve been almost completely reliant on money from Google for over a decade. It’s a tenuous situation and it’s entirely possible that this money will be gone when the Google antitrust lawsuit is done. If Mozilla loses that revenue then it’s basically game over for them.
We don’t have to like it but Mozilla needs a new way to be funded and the options are limited.
Funding wouldn’t be such an urgent matter were they not paying exorbitant salaries and bonuses out the ass to the people responsible for putting all their eggs into the Google basket in the first place, not to mention consultant fees to this that and the other.
