Building a web browser is potentially the most complicated application to build nowadays, it can't be sustained just by a community of volunteers and Firefox has to maintain a payroll of at least a thousand extremely highly paid engineers. They're needed for a proper free and open internet which is independent from the needs of corporations but they also need to pay their bills. It's a fine line that they have to tread, maybe they overstepped the boundary this time but I'd rather there was a firefox that can afford to innovate and push forward the web platform as a whole than not one.
