I wonder if a main reason why they shut it down might not be financial but rather related to focus: Firefox the browser was falling behind. While it was always my favourite it was totally eclipsed by Chrome for a while. After they started focusing on Firefox again a number of great things have happened: - Firefox is getting faster - Firefox is getting safer - Firefox is gaining mindshare - Techies are starting to use and recommend Firefox again - etc All this puts Mozilla in position where they can do things like they now announce: they will make big improvements again, this time by squelching 3rd party tracking.
