Mozilla Corporation recently announced the appointment of Anthony Enzor-DeMeo as the new CEO, succeeding interim CEO Laura Chambers. Enzor-DeMeo previously served as a senior vice president of Firefox from 2004 to 2005 and was most recently the general manager of Mozilla Firefox. On his first day as CEO, he released an open letter outlining the future direction of Mozilla.

In the letter, Enzor-DeMeo pointed out that users want fast, modern, and transparent software, and they wish to understand how it works and make real choices. Mozilla and Firefox are able to provide such choices for users.

He emphasized that Mozilla's strength lies in brand trust and the global influence of Firefox. The company has the ability to build reliable and independent software, and its business model will be user-centered. In the future, Mozilla will focus on becoming a trustworthy software company, and this goal will guide the company's construction and development strategies.

Enzor-DeMeo outlined three key directions:

First, every product developed by Mozilla must give users control. Privacy, data usage, and artificial intelligence-related features must be clear and easy to understand, with simple control options and the ability to easily turn off AI features. Users should also clearly understand how a feature works and the value it provides.

Second, the company's business model must align with trust. Mozilla plans to achieve growth through transparent commercialization methods that users can recognize and value.

Finally, Firefox will expand from a browser into a broader trusted software ecosystem. Although Firefox will remain the core of this ecosystem, it will continue to evolve into a modern AI browser and support a range of new trusted software products.

In Enzor-DeMeo's statement, the concept of AI was frequently mentioned, indicating that Mozilla will increasingly emphasize the application of artificial intelligence in software development.
