Both services are being decommissioned and will no longer be a part of our product family. Details and timelines are discussed below.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox Send was a promising tool for encrypted file sharing. Send garnered good reach, a loyal audience, and real signs of value throughout its life.&nbsp; Unfortunately, some abusive users were beginning to use Send to ship malware and conduct spear phishing attacks. This summer we took Firefox Send offline to address this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>In the intervening period, as we weighed the cost of our overall portfolio and strategic focus, we made the decision not to relaunch the service. Because the service is already offline, no major changes in status are expected. You can read more <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/en-US\/kb\/what-happened-firefox-send\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox Notes was initially developed to experiment with new methods of encrypted data syncing. Having served that purpose, we kept the product as a little utility tool For Firefox and Android users. In early November, we will decommission the Android Notes app and syncing service. The Firefox Notes desktop browser extension will remain available for existing installs and we will include an option to export all notes, however it will no longer be maintained by Mozilla and will no longer be installable. You can learn more about how to export your notes <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/kb\/notes-status\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your patience as we\u2019ve refined our product strategy and portfolio over the course of 2020. While saying goodbye is never easy, this decision allows us to sharpen our focus on experiences like <a href=\"https:\/\/vpn.mozilla.org\/\">Mozilla VPN<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/monitor.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Monitor<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fpn.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Private Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Mozilla tightens and refines its product focus in 2020, today we are announcing the end of life for two legacy services that grew out of the Firefox Test Pilot program: Firefox Send and Firefox Notes.
