I think Mozilla could use a new CEO and I want to be optimistic. That said:

  • Red flag 1: They made someone from the BoD the new CEO. This rarely works out well
  • Red flag 2: The new CEOs CV is full of things that turned into menaces to the public and/or internet (airbnb, paypal, ebay)

I've known Mozilla being great wouldn't last forever, and there it is. Someone from those companies at the helm? Here comes the enshitification.

We can version freeze forever. Anything that won't work in 2023 firefox is probably trash anyway.

So you can't. There are cert stores, new protocols and ciphers, and eventually u patched zero days.

I know this because I've been playing with a g3 powerboat and all the browsers at this point are no longer maintained to support the above things as of last year. The last person working on it gave up

Not much of problem. Run in a VM, disable certificate validation. Html5 and javascript is still going to last a long long time. Anything that can't run with that is soydev shit and you don't need it.
