Because it doesn't make sense for all Firefox marketing material to be how shit chrome is. Save that bullshit for American president elections

It will be exciting to see Kamala and Trump debate whether Gecko or Blink should be the industry leader.

Kinda off topic, but I find it weird that Kamala is usually referred by first name, and trump by surname.

It's a "brand recognition" kind of thing.

Mozilla is silent about Firefox in general, not just about Manifest v2 and v3. I assume there is nothing new to report. Mozilla already stated somewhere they will support V2 and the extensions will work as before. But I don't understand why Mozilla does not use this moment from marketing standpoint to market the Firefox Extension Manifest V2 the hell out of it.

Mozilla is the maker of the famous Firefox browser which has been using its own web engine called “Gecko” since forever, and hence, is not affected at all by these moves from Google.

You answered your own question. It doesn't effect FF.

But, I do agree they should use the downgrade in functionality of V3 as a point for advertising FF.
