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.

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.
