In alignment with our commitment to an open and accessible internet, Mozilla will reinstate previously restricted listings in Russia. Our initial decision to temporarily restrict these listings was made while we considered the regulatory environment in Russia and the potential risk to our community and staff.

    The damage is done since people will critique Mozilla for anything that isn’t snuffing Google.

    I’m glad they reversed the decision.

      They were forced to delist it temporarily in Russia. The fact that they listed it again tells me that they listen to the community, like they claimed, and that they value said community above the russian government.

        Well, they listen to the community when what the community is pointing out is a very obvious mistake which has a very high probability of causing a whole lot of bad press, at least.

      Such an abrupt reversal is puzzling. Did they think Firefox users don’t care?
