Dear Firefox Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to bring to your attention the potential benefits of considering a Partnership with PayPal.

By integrating PayPal's secure payment features directly into the Firefox browser, users could enjoy a more streamlined and convenient online experience.

This collaboration could position Firefox as a browser of choice for those seeking an integrated and secure platform for both browsing and online transactions.

Additionally, such a partnership might open up opportunities for mutual growth and innovation, combining the strengths of both Firefox and PayPal to deliver enhanced value to users.

I believe that exploring a collaboration with PayPal aligns with Firefox's commitment to user privacy and security while providing a competitive edge in the evolving landscape of online services.

I appreciate your time and consideration of this suggestion and am available for further discussions if needed.

Thumbs down from me. PayPal does not have a particularly good reputation. It's known for freezing funds and shutting down accounts for spurious reasons, and partnering with PayPal would hurt Mozilla's and Firefox's brands. PayPal is also completely closed source and implementing an integration like this would cause a major backlash among people like me who don't want to see Firefox sponsor proprietary services that track their users.

I disagree. Firefox may be internationally useable but Paypal isn't. In my country, Paypal is rarely used. It's even expensive compared to other payment options. I think it's a big risk to bind Firefox to Paypal when not everyone uses Paypal. It will just be a useless feature for non-Paypal users.

I don't want an integrated payment solution into Firefox.

Browser and financial services are two different services and must stay separate. I might even switch to Chrome if that happened, and this says something.

Please don't partner with a company that functions more like a scam than a payment service.
