Though this may sound harsh,  the fact is Mozilla is abandoning projects left, right and center. From Thunderbird to Firefox OS and now Persona.<p>So why should anyone in their right senses bet on a Mozilla project in a serious way?<p>They have put themselves in a catch 22 situation. Abandoning projects because &quot;people are not using them&quot;  and people will not use them because Mozilla abandons projects.<p>Interestingly, most of these abandoned projects were promising but I cannot recollect Mozilla ever changing course as a result of feedback given when they launched a project.<p>This is quite unfortunate.
