According to sources, the team tasked with bringing Firefox to connected devices has been eliminated from Mozilla.The cuts reportedly affect about 50 people with Ari Jaaksi, the senior vice president in charge of the effort and Bertrand Neveux, director of the group's software, departing as well.
Once a dominant choice for Internet browsing, Firefox has now long been overshadowed by Google Chrome. Its shrinking influence also comes at a time when more people around the world are browsing the Internet on their phones, an area where the search engine is particularly weak.
