Yes. But I’m not delusional that my contribution matters.

They should search for revenue like all community projects. Get companies that have a stake in FF existing because they distribute it — Canonical, Red Hat, AWS, Oracle to put up cash and pay developers to work on it.

The only FOSS models that have a track record of success are:

* Run ads which is really shady.

* Be a true community project and be developed by the people who use it.

* Be open core and sell proprietary features.

* Sell consulting and documentation.
