 * Firefox now provides only minimal subsidy to Thunderbird
-Freedom is not free, somebody has to pay the bills. Several years ago, Thunderbird had a significant paid staff, subsidized by Firefox. But Firefox needs to focus on its own issues, and now volunteers are responsible for supporting and improving Thunderbird. Thunderbird's security and stability is critical to millions of users, but it is hard for a small group of volunteers to provide the quality, features, and reliability that our users expect. We believe we need a small team of dedicated staff, working alongside our volunteers, to respond to urgent issues, keep Thunderbird secure and reliable, and move forward with new features.
