If you previously installed a customized version of Firefox with Yandex or Mail.ru, offered through partner distribution channels, this release removes those customizations, including add-ons and default bookmarks. Where applicable, your browser will revert back to default settings, as offered by Mozilla. All other releases of Firefox remain unaffected by the change.

And there are still many folks who believe that Mozilla is still a foundation. Yet another corporation.

And to add to the conversation, the Foundation is the "wOkE" side that chuds love to hate for their social justice efforts, the point being that this decision might as well have nothing to do with the Corporation, since even folks aligned with social justice causes in the West are pro the Russophobia going on right now.

The Putin Regime is diabolical, of course. And divestments and boycotts helped bring down South Africa apartheid, so such actions they have their place. But I think what bothers a lot of people is the double standards of corporations doing business with, say, the likes of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who trample over human rights and whose brutality has created the worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen. It's definitely worth debating the targeting and effectiveness (and consistency, or lack thereof) in such pulling of services.
