MOZILLA, TESLA, OTHER BUSINESSES TAKE A FACEBOOK PAUSE

The company, which created the Firefox web browser, said it is “pressing pause” on its Facebook advertising and won’t be posting on its Facebook page. But it did not delete its page and said it will consider returning if Facebook takes stronger actions to protect users’ data and improves privacy settings.
