Mozilla is closing two of its older products, the Firefox Send and Firefox Notes, the company announced today.
"Both services are discontinued and will no longer be part of our product family."
Firefox Send
Of the two services, the most popular was Firefox Send, a free file sharing service and one of the few that supported file sharing in encrypted formats.
Released him March of 2019, and gained a lot of fans, but the service went offline earlier this summer as there was constant abuse by malicious software groups.
At the time, Mozilla said the Send service shutdown was temporary and promised to find a way to curb its malicious features. A few weeks later, things changed after Mozilla's management fired more than 250 employees in an effort to refocus its business on commercial products.
So most of the staff that had to redesign Send does not exist and those who are still working deal with commercial products such as mozilla-vpn, the Firefox Monitor and Firefox Private Network.
Firefox Notes
The same reasons apply to Firefox Notes. It started as a way to store and sync encrypted notes between programs browsing Firefox.
"At the end of October we will be decommissioning the Android Notes app and the sync service," said todayfaceof Mozilla.
“The Firefox Notes browser extension for desktops will remain available for existing installations and we will include the option exportof all notes however it will no longer be developed by Mozilla and will no longer be installed.”
