- Mozilla has launched a paid subscription service called Mozilla Monitor Plus, which monitors and removes personal information from over 190 sites where brokers sell data.
- The service is priced at $8.99 per month and is an extension of the free dark web monitoring service Mozilla Monitor (previously Firefox Monitor).
- Basic Monitor members receive a free scan and one-time removal sweep, while Plus members get continual monthly data broker scans and removal attempts.

If they added automatic online account collation and mass deletion I’d pay them $100 on the spot to wipe the hundreds of random accounts I have on sites/services I never use and often have never used.
Almost got a heart attack when I read that they made a subscription service.
If I’m reading this correctly, are they basically just reselling the Onerep service ($14.95/monthly or $99.96/annually) for $8.99/month?
They’re reselling it for $13.99/monthly or $107.88/annually.
So it’s cheaper if you buy it for just one month at a time, but more expensive for the annual subscription… And there are other alternatives besides.
And there are other alternatives besides.
If you have a Discover card they’ll do the monitoring/removal for free.
God bless the Mozilla foundation
How dare they try to bring this to a larger market at exactly the same price as that other company without increasing the price.
I got downvoted to hell for saying it before, but what Ubuntu and Firefox are up to together is kinda what Microsoft went to court over Internet Explorer for in the 90s.
Firefox is my go-to today, but I’m watching them closely.
Edit: typical fanboy downvotes. The writing is on the wall. Mark my words y’all. In 2035 you’ll be saying “get off Firefox” like you’re currently saying “get off chrome”. I’ve seen this song and dance before.
Also, look at this super cool not disgusting abomination of a bug that’s not a bug. Remap my fucking root directory?

I am not convinced that’s what’s going on. It looks more like some weird thing snap does to make hunspell available to snap Firefox.
Have you seen this behavior on your own Ubuntu install? In other words, can you reproduce the described scenario?
Yes. I literally have a cron job to unmount and rename my root directory to / that runs every 12 hours.
That makes no sense. The bug listed shows the same device mounted to / and that spelling for in /var or whatever. And your system wouldn’t operate if / didn’t exist. I’m almost curious enough to go set up a VM to try to see what’s happening.
And how does that work? How do you unmount the root directory of a live system and invoke a script?

Can you elaborate on the statement? I’m not connecting the dots.
No, they’re talking about how Ubuntu doesn’t let you uninstall Firefox, and constantly push ads for it down your throat, and how Ubuntu always opens web search results in Firefox regardless of your default browser, and how… Oh wait
