Perhaps, but Mozilla need to pick their battle. They can’t keep splitting their resources on so many fronts.


Maybe there's a way that Hubs can make money? "Virtual office service" seems like the obvious answer in this growing remote work situation (see also: Immersed VR), but with Facebook's lower level hardware access they may be poised to eat that space too.


Hubs already makes money, by offering turn-key self-hosted Hubs instances for corporations via AWS image.


Hardware-agnostic seems like a big selling point for Mozilla's service vs FB. Unless my company is going to go all-in and buy everyone a 'work headset' like how we have work laptops, they'll want it to be cross platform compatible so users have a choice.


Health nightmare wearing a headset for hours and hours or a full workday.


Just how many people do you think they have working in Hubs?

Hell, before the layoff, they only had one person working on WebXR for desktop Firefox. Seems like being penny-wise, pound-foolish.
