Laura Chambers, who stepped into an interim CEO role at Mozilla in February, says the company is reinvesting in Firefox after letting it languish in recent years,

It's sort of amusing to me that Mozilla would let the Firefox browser languish. Is that not the raison d'etre of your entire organization? What are you doing with your time and effort if you are allowing your core product to languish? What would people say if Microsoft said "yeah, we've allowed windows to languish in recent years." What an insane notion.

They've got thunderbird which is as far as I know the only serious alternative to outlook.

Kinda but Thunderbird is community driven, and spun out into an independent subsidiary.

And I wouldn't call it serious, the performance is atrocious.

It's so bad I went and installed outlook from 2016

You're not arguing from a position of strength if your personal anecdote is performance issues, 8 years ago.

I think you misread that. This poster's experience isn't from 2016. They installed a program called "Outlook 2016" recently.
