We do not, and you can see that by looking at the last few weeks' posts on
http://planet.mozilla.org, for example. In fact, I very much doubt that
this person really works for Mozilla. (They actually never really state
this: being a "Mozilla Developer" doesn't necessarily mean being an
employee. The supposed inside knowledge and the danger of being fired very
much makes it sound that way, though.)

In fact, what reason do you have to believe that this person is working for
Mozilla? Just that what they say is critical of Mozilla? That hardly seems
like a good reason. Where's the inside knowledge in those posts? "Google
influenced Australis" isn't inside knowledge: it's an unproven assertion.

This is not what happened. You might be interested in this collection of
questions and answers on the topic:

Again: what reason do you have to believe that this is what happened?
Australis has been developed in the open over the course of a few years,
and all design decisions and the arguments for and against them can be seen
in bugs discussing them or design drafts.

Also, what on earth would Google gain by influencing what our UI looks
like? If the answer is that they want us to be less competitive: why would
we give in to their demands? Because we want to have fewer users?


thanks,
