“One thing Mozilla does have going for it is a lot of money—more than $1 billion in cash reserves, according to its latest financial statement. The primary source of this capital is Google, which pays Mozilla to be the default search engine on the Firefox home page. Those payments, which started in 2005, have been increasing—up 50% over the past decade, to more than $450 million, even as the total number of Firefox users has plummeted. In 2021 these payments accounted for 83% of Mozilla’s revenue.”

6a latest updates including security patches. I’ve experienced a few really frustrating bugs and would like the communities help to figure out possible causes or solutions.

  1. Google assistant crashes after the trigger phrase is said.

Solution: google app clear cache and data

  1. Alarms quick tile is not showing the next alarm, but is showing the next due date/time associated with a task in Microsoft to-do. Clicking the tile opens Microsoft todo to the task. This occurs even though the next alarm is before this tasks due date/time.

Why isn’t the tile opening the clock/alarm app?!?!?!?

Solution: ?? Help ??

  1. Poor modem reception for lte/5g networks. Sitting in the car, Girlfriends iPhone had strong 5g, pixel kept dropping network and not operating voice or data. Restarts didn’t work.

Solution: ?? Help ??

That's a good analogy.

Give it time. The community was very small for a very long time. There wasn't a big need or push for detailed mobile functionality.

The ruins of Rome are never as cushy as the empire. But give it time. Pizzas on the way brother.
