Enhanced privacy and security have become the chief selling points of many niche browser makers, including rivals such as Vivaldi and Brave.
To me (and it seems like many others), this is one of the major selling points of Firefox. It's not owned by a big company like Microsoft, Apple or Google. They aren't beholden to their corporate wishes. Or at least they won't be if they can find a way to make money without taking it from Google.
The problem is that making your browser respect people's privacy doesn't make you any money...
I also wonder how much longer Google will keep propping Mozilla up financially. It seems very reminiscent of the late 90s when Microsoft helped keep Apple afloat to allay anti-trust investigations.

They might be able to buy their way out of antitrust here in the US, but it seems like the rest of the world (the European Union in particular) are going after them.

You can remap the 0 key to the o key, assuming you're on windows
Would something like this help? https://sourceforge.net/projects/gxkb/ Not sure if you can, but if you could have `0 come out as zero, you could map 0 as o on the base layer or something similar....
Seriously? If you're in Sweden I can send you a keyboard. EDIT: if you need help remapping keys on Linux, holler EDIT2: Here is a method that would work on Elementary if they don't have a keyboard...

To be fair, that was never a goal for Firefox. Firefox needs to have a significant enough userbase to be able to influence the evolution of the web. It was never about winning browser wars....
Firefox will never be the market leader in browsers again. It doesn't matter how hard they try.

(Please don’t misconstrue this as satisfaction with the status quo.)
I just don't see a lot of people paying for a subscription like that when they can get all of that (minus the VPN) for free through Google.
I think Firefox can fill this void. Provide users with security and privacy tools that give them real benefits. A subscription bundle that can include things like an email, calendar, storage, password manager, VPN (they're working on this) etc. and sell it at a reasonable price.

I don't see a lot of people paying for a product they can otherwise get free either, but that doesn't mean there's no market there...
In fact, while, yes, the bulk of the online population will steer towards free/no-cost products, more and more often nowadays it feels like there is a segment that is more tuned into the privacy invasions from the Goliath internet firms, and is willing - and has the wherewithal - to pay for services. Maybe - and unfortunately - this segment might be affluent, but there is precedent for orgs to focus on the premium space instead of focusing on the value arena...the ol' "if they go low, you go high" approach - but in terms of business model and not morality. I'm by no means affluent, but i would pay Mozilla for such services, at least if they offered low-priced plans! (What i annually donate nowadays to them would simply be turned into my subscription fees.)

Is there any particular reason you're substituting 'o' for '0'?
From their introductory post:
Their o key is broken.
EDIT: No, seriously, it's broken.
im poor and i dont have enough money to buy another keyboard, someone reported me so i have to fix this or i can't write with "0"s anymore u.u
You can remap the 0 key to the o key, assuming you're on windows
This will make 0 type
oand alt+0 typeO.To disable the mapping just right click the tray icon that shows up when you load the file.
They're not on Windows, as they said in another thread.

Not sure if you can, but if you could have `0 come out as zero, you could map 0 as o on the base layer or something similar.
You can also use xmodmap if you're more comfortable with that. I've only done this for mapping HYPER, though.
