- Rebelgecko 4y agoMozilla Corp (the company that does most of the dev work) isn't a non-profit, although given their relationship with Mozilla Foundation (which is a non profit) maybe it's not a big distinction.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoThey still have bills to pay. Being a non-profit doesn't mean they don't need revenue.

After that go down the org chart and fire everyone not coding for the browser. Then you can live off donations until the end of time.

Especially not when competing against a complex beast like Chrome. (Though I do agree there may be too much money going into admin.)
