Pretty much every time the foundation does anything a crapton of people complain about how it has nothing to do with the browser.

Then more people comment and complain about Mozilla doing advocacy, or making a podcast, and how those resources should’ve gone into the browser, because they too have no idea there’s a difference.

And it doesn’t help that the corporation and foundation are collectively referred to in press as Mozilla with no distinction.

Mozilla does have a relevancy problem, I think the money from Google does discourage them from doing anything that could jeopardize that funding.

Maybe. I think it’s worth looking at exactly what the role is that they were hiring for: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/mozilla-seeks-new-leader-for-its-movement-building-arm/
