I’m going to bump this figure once again here: Mozilla has made $37.5M from investment income in 2023. [1] That might not be enough to sustain browser development alone, but it is surely a lot of money and charging for Firefox would likely be a drop in the bucket (considering many people would just stop using it instead).

Cut the bullshit initiatives, fire the C-suite and put that money to work.

Wouldn't the ones in charge of firing the C-suite be exactly themselves?

I have no idea how to solve such an organizational problem.


The CEO is accountable to the board of directors and the board of directors is accountable to shareholders. As a nonprofit perhaps Mozilla's board is accountable to nobody - not sure.


Actually I have no idea either. In a for-profit company shareholders could do the firing, of course, but for foundations it’s tricky.
