@firefox part 1 i would like it if mozilla banded together most privacy focused and eco friendly services into itself so that it would be larger and have less dependency on google. Eg. Firefox browser + proton vpn and proton mail + ecosia search + treecard financial services + signal messenger and so on.

    I see where you’re coming from, but I’m not sure what you mean by having less dependency on google - firefox is the only major modern browser not to be chromium-based) and thus at least partly google-based too), and why would unifying many open source apps under one company be beneficial? Signal, mozilla, proton, libreoffice, etc. all being separate entities actually seems better for privacy and decentralisation imo! Also, firefox offers a vpn and email client (thunderbird) and ecosia seems a bit odd to put in here seeing as a core part of it is adverts (and if memory serves i think it might even use google search apis or something?) Sorry if I’ve come off as too critical as I quite like the idea of having one unified open-source suite, but I feel like it’d be either unnecessary or impractical in most cases.

    What I want is for Mozilla VPN to be able to run inside of Firefox Container tabs. Let me enable/disable it for specific containers, and let me also optionally configure a server for that container.

    i don’t really see the point of having the rest integrated, though I guess it would be cool if Thunderbird had an extension or something to embed the protonmail bridge.

    I think it would also be interesting to see Mozilla pilot some kind of digital transaction system, like GNU Taler. That would make a ton of sense to be embedded into a browser, and then you’d configure it with a service that bridges with a bank account. I don’t think Mozilla has the resources to manage that though.
