Firefox makes enough in its portfolio to maintain its core. It doesnt need all the new bullshit that is only looking to spend money
Linux Mint puts out a great OS for a few thousand per month. With the start it's got, Firefox could go on for decades without more income.

Open source aint going anywheres, no worries here
Browser codebase is really complex and requires dedicated dev effort.

I fail to see how this is new news, we have known this for years now, no?
I looked at their finances --which anyone can do-- and even if Google were to remove their funding tomorrow, Mozilla still has about 2-3 years of reserve capital they can burn through. Not optimal but it is not like they will disappear in a year.
Clearly, not a position they would want to be in, but they are not disappearing overnight.
Jeez why are mozilla execs the dumbest people in the fucking room! Next they will say the earth is a spheroid.
