lol, what a shitshow. A product from the same company is distancing from the stench. Good on them, but it shows who did some things wrong.

MZLA is a different subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation.

If I remember correctly, Thunderbird isn't a Mozilla product anymore but it's maintained by the community. Mozilla just hosts it.
