There&#x27;s a lot of people at Mozilla, and they talk fairly freely, so the result is an inconsistent message.  Not everything you see is a stance, much of it is people trying to figure things out and communicate the decisions-of-the-moment.<p>As far as web compatibility and standards, the inconsistency is part of Mozilla.  Is Firefox a tool for open web standards advocacy?  Some in Mozilla feel that way.  Do we just want Firefox to render things well?  There&#x27;s a whole team for that too (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.mozilla.org&#x2F;Compatibility" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.mozilla.org&#x2F;Compatibility</a>).  And of course there&#x27;s Bugzilla, which can feel like a lottery – it&#x27;s very hard to know who you encounter when you enter the project through there.<p>This stuff is hard, and making the right choices is hard – I&#x27;m sure Mozilla has not always made the right decisions, but I personally prefer ongoing struggles to make the right decision over a consistent and credible stance.
