I think I mean "politically inoffensive." Like I'm trying to be. ;)

I think Firefox has stepped away from being a team of innovators to a communal development browser where individuals can build customizable extensions to the browser.

I could not agree more enthusiastically with what you're saying here - In my opinion they really, really need to loosen the iron grip on the Mozilla branding, they're taking their product out of the hands of their community, while saying they want to put it more in those same hands - it's not gonna work, and it's going to really hurt them soon if they don't wake up. Loving this video, great work!

I think Mozilla needs to take the conversation to the media industry. They need to be engaged in the conversations that define the future of media production; at present Adobe and Microsoft own that. And they shouldn't. I've written up a post here:

Great video though. If it's not a call to action, then you've just bashed one of the final nails into the coffin for Mozilla.

Hey I just ran into this interview of Mozilla CEO speaks out on future of Firefox. Might want to check what they say here.
