Firefox keeps acting like they desperately need money, but there are clear paths to monetization with a freemium model. The simplest method is to limit the browser sync capabilities (bookmarks, passwords, settings, etc) and charge a small fee for improved sync. Limitation might be sync frequency or storage space. For Thunderbird, they could roll in an advanced spam blocker system and make it subscription-based. Or they could create a single button in commercial buttons to automatically unsubscribe from the content. Or, for the simplest model, just charge $10 a year for access to binaries from the beta + nightly + dev channels
