Mozilla is shutting down two of its legacy products, [Firefox Send and Firefox Notes](https://www.zdnet.com/article/mozilla-shuts-down-firefox-send-and-firefox-notes-services/), the company announced today. From a report:

_“Both services are being decommissioned and will no longer be a part of our product family,” a Mozilla spokesperson told ZDNet this week. Of the two, the most beloved was Firefox Send, a free [file-sharing service](https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/19/03/12/1439222/firefox-send-lets-you-share-1gb-files-with-no-strings-attached), and one of the few that supported sharing files in encrypted formats. Launched in March 2019, the service gained a dedicated fanbase but Send was [taken offline earlier this summer](https://news.slashdot.org/story/20/07/08/1811228/mozilla-suspends-firefox-send-service-while-it-addresses-malware-abuse) after ZDNet reported on its constant abuse by malware groups. At the time, Mozilla said that Send’s shutdown was temporary and promised to find a way to curb the service’s abuse in malware operations. But weeks later, things changed after Mozilla leadership [laid off more than 250 employees](https://tech.slashdot.org/story/20/08/11/1458214/mozilla-lays-off-250-employees-while-it-refocuses-on-commercial-products) as part of an effort to re-focus its business on commercial products._
