What’s weird to me is that Mozilla Foundation can probably sustain Firefox development from it’s investment income alone (e.g. $37.5M in 2023): https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:501c3/_2023/_990/_Mozilla/Foundation/-/_Full/Filing/-/_Nonprofit/Explorer/-/_ProPublica.pdf

It might be possible to build Firefox for less than the IIRC ~$500M that's currently budgeted, but $37.5M seems optimistic.

It's more like $260M, from their financials. Salaries in SF are expensive.

And keep in mind that there's also a big part that's not in SF.
