Mark Mayo will be the head of the new Mozilla division
Mozilla has created a new division consisting of the Cloud, Desktop and Mobile groups. In the same subdivision, work will continue on the Firefox browser. The main developer appointed Mark Mayo, who has extensive experience in cloud computing.
On the new appointment and the creation of the Mozilla division reported in parallel. These two events certainly depend on each other. Mark joined the company in 2011 and was the team leader for the development of cloud services for 4 years. According to the Mozilla press center , Mark has a strategic mindset, the necessary experience of an IT manager and many other positive qualities that will enable him to make Firefox and related services the best and safest in the world.

“I love to understand the essence of things and make them better,” writes Mark on LinkedIn .
Before he was invited to Mozilla, Mayo was an employee of the Canadian company Chloi, which develops the Node.js engine. And at Joyent, he served as chief technical officer.
From 2009 to 2010, Mark was the head of the Emerson project team, which developed the Trellis platform, which was supposed to serve to manage data centers.
Moreover, Marc Mayo himself founded two companies: Permeta consulting agency, where he has been managing director for 19 years, and Faction Lab, which has been developing a platform for flash sales sites.
Therefore, there is no doubt that such a personnel reshuffle in the company was justified and gives hope for the best.
However, you shouldn’t discount the fact that the existing main developer of the Firefox project, Jonathan Nightingale, announced at the end of March his intention to resign. The reason for this decision are not behind the scenes intrigue or the impending death of the browser. According to Nightingale, he simply decided to spend more time with his family.
What happens next with Firefox is unknown. Now you can only assess the current situation. According to StatCounter statistics, it ranks third in the world among desktop browsers: Google Chrome’s market share is 48.2%, Microsoft Internet Explorer - 19.3%, while Firefox’s share is 17%.
